INTRODUCING… 5X5 After a great evening out last month at Fabrica with Sharon Haward, we were back on home ground at Towner last night for our latest Network event. The evening took a format which we’ve followed before – 5 […]
Loads of things on the go in the studio to pick at in turn. When an idea occurs to me, I can just do it! Freedom! But I did feel after the weekend, that I wasn’t getting anywhere. I’d done […]
The title of this residency, Land Strategies, was intended to convey that the landscape of the exhibition space could be articulated through interventions in the space. It is now my task to unpick what I have done over the last […]

Each month, we take a close look at the stats for the popular a-n blogging platform Artists talking to determine how many people are reading what and for how long. Then, by combining the number of page views with the average time spent on that page, we create a Top Ten. And in the top spot this month is…

I realize, looking back at my previous post, that I didn’t describe what I actually do. While my artist’s statement is at the bottom of this blog page, I’ve found that one of the best descriptions of my work was […]
I have started work on another large canvas. So far I have used pencil, emulsion, and acrylic paint. I started work on the canvas with no intention in mind but to express my inner self. I think that this is […]
In the middle of the residency at Guldagergård and organising the exhibition in Brighton, I have had to squeeze in preparations for a public art commission I’ve been shortlisted for. I ended up spending three full days working on the […]
I submitted my Arts Council Grants for the Arts application 2 weeks ago. I had planned to write weekly posts on this blog, but there was so much writing (and re-writing!) involved that I’m only just ready to get back […]
Construction Project Day #10 I have decided not to include any text (other than this) for this blog post as I think the images give an indication as to how my thought process developed today.
Construction Project Day #11 Once again, I insist that I only show images of my work instead of any writing in this post, so as to not inflict any readings the work may give you. I think it is clear […]
Part of my Re:view bursary put me in touch with a writer who, when hearing about the current project I was involved with said, ”you really must start a blog on that as the process is so worth documenting.” To […]
Rosalind Barker In our final collaboration session Ruth and I worked side by side to create a pinhole parchment based on figurative images again taken from the Sunday Times magazines. It was difficult, slow work and I think Ruth would […]
What I have done in the Week commencing 17th March 2014 New quotes added to my wall. “You r the Art” I feel that the viewers are an important role in making a piece of Art successful. If there were […]
