It’s the end of week one of Summer Lodge, a two week research opportunity/ residency for 30+ artists at NTU. Most are NTU staff and PhDs students with a few invited guests, some international. I am one of five artists […]
Our visit to Home Truths at the Photographers’ Gallery (this was back in December, see earlier posts for more detail) started at the top and worked down. After the Katie Murray film on the top floor we went down one […]
Memories. Acrylic and mixed media on board. Sue Gough So nice to be using the new improved site. I’ve been frantically busy for the past few months; once I’d recovered from the infection, that took me six weeks, I then […]
I believe I can be fairly ambiguous in what I produce visually… and I like that. Maybe it’s because I’m new at it, but I wasn’t prepared for how songwriting truly reflects your nature… actually, by “your” I mean “my”. […]
I’ve been trying to work out when things all began to change, Did it happen gradually – so slowly that I hardly noticed it happening, or was it just a ‘Ping – that’s it, I’ve had enough’ moment? I’m talking […]
It’s all a bit new and different around here, now, so to test if I can actually upload a photo without resizing it first (which I never have to do on blogger) is the first test. Yesterday, I took advantage […]

Only the publicity left to complete – only…

Here he is, St Peter Chanel of the Staffroom; saving the souls of wayward convent girls and having his head stoved in for unsolicited missioning. How the nuns fluttered when men came a visiting; how they loved a Christian […]
As today is meant to be the hottest day of the year I decide to vacate the studio and head to the woods with my sketch book. I need to keep an eye on the ash trees before the deadly […]
Not blogging for so long has been interesting, for someone who probably blogs every three or four days. Marion Michell tweeted she was glad of the break, to reflect (you see we haven’t been able to stay away from social […]
Two weeks ago I went on a long planned art-outing with A., to see Matisse‘s cut-outs at Tate Modern. The two Tates are good places for me to visit as I can whizz about on one of their electro-scooters (why don’t other […]
A question that I find relevant to both my personal practice and my expanded practice is; do varying modes of sustainability and organisational structures effect the output/content of artist and curator led projects? Now two-thirds through our ‘go and see’ […]
Every year a-n publishes a degree shows guide, which is supported by institutions around the UK who take part in the degree show season. For a-n Art Students its a guide too! We have a busy time sharing listings of […]
This year we visited three degree shows in person and sent links and photographs of selected students’ work. As Twitter is a very ‘of the time and moment’, the best way of archiving these visits is to use Storify (see […]
