Even though we are coming to the end of this degree project I am still finding artists work that is inspiring and also relates to my subject matter and me. Thanks to social media like Facebook and Instagram I came […]
The past week has been so hectic and quite stressful at times putting up my work for the degree show. I have two different ‘installations’ on show in different departments. The whole experience has been nerving and challenging, thinking of […]
Tommy The source image for this portrait was selected after carefully viewing hours of video footage. Initially I look for people whose character, stories and experiences interest me, but with that in mind, these being portraits, they must have a […]
A Tissue? Ok so I tried this small drawing on a tissue used by a friend for cleaning up around the studio. Not wishing to endorse negative stereotypes about homelessness I felt I still had to deal with them and […]
Positive and Negative Space pt. 2 I would like to talk a little bit a Katharina Grosse. She is without a doubt my most influential artist at the moment (which I’m sure is apparent) due to the fact that she […]
The recently opened Bury Sculpture Centre is sited in two large rooms that until recently were part of the Lancashire town’s central library. But while the move has prompted protests from local people, the centre’s instigator insists it is not a case of library services being cut to make way for a new art space.
Drawings inspired by images from magazines, books and the Internet, a sound and sculpture installation made in response to a gallery’s architecture, and private histories laid bare through a series of photographic compositions – this week’s selection includes exhibitions in Edinburgh, Wakefield and Manchester.
This month’s top ten Artists talking blogs sees the first, second and third slots remain the same, but with new entries by Simon Fell, Nick Kaplony and Niki Dennis there’s plenty of jostling for attention.

Must a sculptural invention be real or not??? The question I’m forced to consider is how can one enhance the beauty of nature? Does creating a physical sculpture make a positive or negative statement? If a thing exists in reality, […]
Close to completion. I have working very hard the last few weeks to get all my crochet cubes sewn together in order to get to the next step of my degree project. So this post is to say that i […]
Completion of Beagle Sculpture Another mile stone within my project. I have finally got my beagle sculpture finished. I finally attached the ears, the ears that are the most important part. I wanted them to be stretched out to show […]
Test post for Mesopotamia on Thames
OK! So this project now involves over 60 families all eagerly awaiting concertina books – a format chosen for lending itself to sequential thought Drawing conversations isn’t a new idea, it follows in the footsteps of a game of consequences […]
Sarah and I had our first Glasgow-based meeting on Sunday 4th May. During our previous weekend meet on Islay we identified some experiments with mold making and casting that we wanted to begin in a studio enviroment. We found examples […]
Thoughts on Death I’ve been unhappy for a while with the content that I put into my blog. The problem is, because I tend to work on several ideas at once, I end up just writing about what I’m up […]
‘A little bit of Austria’ (phase I): During my two weeks residency in Austria I spent time on the 1.136m2 piece of land at different times of the day. There is a graveyard to the north, a big field that […]
I am collating the moving image works for the Topography Disarranged screening on 23rd May. Brilliant to have all these discs popping through the letterbox and to see the finished articles at last. My poor old computer is struggling with […]
We have received reply from Arts Council – our Grants for the Arts application is successful and we have been funded for a 12-month Smooth Space Artist’s Residency at Torre Abbey, Torquay plus an associated programme of 12 Artist’s Conversations […]
