After a bit of a tight deadline getting the Artefacts app together for last night’s launch, Simon and Richard managed to pull it out of the bag and deliver a fantastic interactive presentation, that trials a new proximity based technology […]
I’ve been thinking how to continue this. Every morning after breakfast I settle with a mug of coffee and try to read, or research on-line, but the shutters have been down for days. Nor can I watch Generation War or […]

After a slight hiatus during which I prepared, was interviewed and gained a place on the Fine Art MA at Central Saint Martins and Josh has been overwhelmingly busy with work… I think we are back and moving forward again. […]
First part of the description of: Photograph 1 There are two figures in the bottom right hand corner of the photograph a man and a woman. Both have their back to the camera and are some distance away, perhaps the […]
Second part of my descrition of: Photograph 1 Because of the clothes, the bare legs and short sleeves I am guessing it is spring or summer and yet there is a greyness of light that places the couple in a […]
The curator has arrived. She is Dr Tracey Warr and she’s very nice. She knows Alan and Helen because she worked on a project to have James Turrell’s Skyspace at Allenheads. They were successful with the funding but couldn’t get […]
