I just finished my last piece for the Tangled Yarns show! Well …. I wouldn’t mind going back over a couple of works, and I already have ideas for more work, but there just isn’t enough time for new pieces, […]
“the diagram is a diagram of flight (bird flight) and I thought it apt to be enclosed over these expressions of isolation. We’ll see…I am working 4 days a week, makes the work on Correspondence slower. However looking forward to […]
A dialogue between Rachel Wooller and Jane Pryor, studio member and former member of Cambridge Artworks
A pilot session for a new series of workshops I will be leading with Claudia Figueiredo beginning in January 2015 (under the whizzy title ARTicles) recently yielded an unexpected question. Unpacking a small suitcase of objects – which relate to […]
I’d like to get a few folks together and deliver/lead some sort of textiles workshop for artists. Not a craft workshop, an artist workshop. That’s not to say I can’t demonstrate a few techniques along the way, but I think […]
There are too many things in the studio that have been untouched for too long. I want to spend some consolidated time there to take care of this/them. To this end I wonder if I should apply for an exhibition […]
My new work in the studio. I have been experimenting with metalic paint and mixing colours on the canvas with oil stick in order to create depth.

Recordable audio cards were used in sessions for young people to capture their voices (10sec). The group used the cards as instruments after recording. A voice was activated when the card was opened. This looked great visually – as the […]
It’s been far too long since my last post (back in April!). Much has happened in-between, including an exhibition in London at W3 Gallery, a feature in One & Other Magazine, and two commissions (one for the Tour de France, […]
Started back at college today and our tutor was talking to our year group about the importance of always having your journal to hand – to capture your thoughts as you think them! She pointed out that by the time […]
An artist’s musings on life in a theological college: part-time Artist-in-Residence, part-time PhD student, full-time head heart and spirit.
I went to Greenham Common again yesterday on my own to record at the site of POL21, where remains of an underground fuelling station are. There are also metalworks above ground. I really immersed myself in the atmosphere of the […]
I have decided to tell the same story again! This time without photos or words. A picture of the dog walk! probably should describe it as a map of the dog walk. A drawing to describe the events that day!
