At the beginning of the year I was on a ‘wait and see’ period (scratching my head and umming Where next?). Two weeks later some interesting and relavant work takes an unexpected landing straight into my lap (phew, that was […]
There isn’t enough time in my life……. Trying to fit in all of this admin on top of my full time job leaves no time at all for my own work. I spent a couple of hours last night making […]
Just a quick post as i have been harding some crochet squares with pva glue and managed to finally create a solid cube of which i have visualized in my mind for ages. I would say it was a success […]
There was a really fantastic co-resident artist working in the studios on Sunday who is working on a top secret project that I can’t share anything about, except perhaps that it deals with environmental issues and soil samples in an […]
The discourse between object and space continues. Using the found light, which works with the aid of a wooden clothes peg, a tunnel has been created that provides the focus for the light. In itself, it has little illumination, being […]
Today I was considering Louise Bourgeois and her sculpture ‘The Blind Leading the Blind”. I have some sawn rafters from my house from when we extended the roof out. They have been propped against my wall for ages, and something […]
For this week’s must-see shows, we’re wrapping up warm in London, getting immersed in a fictional 70s exploitation movie in Manchester, and enjoying a comprehensive survey of British Land Art in Coventry.
The viral infection I’ve had recently has left me feeling quite depleted; I still haven’t managed to get to the studio to address the dire mess it’s in and I’ve had to let go of fulfilling any of the projects […]
So this is a rather late update on events but anyway. Wednesday 15th of January i went along with a friend to the London Art Fair in the Business Design Centre in Islington. We were both stunned at the vast […]
A new begining of sorts? Spring term starts on 28th January and I’ve just started this blog. Its also six months to my Degree Show. That’s scary- ‘Unstable Self’ has been my working title for recent drawings. These self-portraits have […]
This is a painting I have just started in my garage. I attempted to put myself in a meditative state in order to tap into a primordial part of my brain. I was reading about Georg baselitz who attempts a […]
I recieved a call to say the Clerk of Works won’t be able to make the meeting in my workshop and we will need to re-schedule. That’s fair enough. And it will give the opportunity to finish the painted map […]
So a week of madness goes by and the exhibition is all installed. This year students have been very ambitious in Inspired Responses. They have created beautiful artists books, mini installations, a large scale installation involving a tree, nests, insects […]
The last couple of days has been about adding and subtracting, a constant changing narrative. Links made and unmade. Enjoying working instinctively rather than having some sort of pre-justification. Have been doing a lot of visual research and running, giving […]
Spring Cleaning Its that time of year when I feel the insatiable need to clean and tidy all around me. Last week I decided to give my studio at Rogue a complete overhaul. This meant making room for a plan-chest […]
nan’s curtains Yes, it is driving me mad. Each pair of curtains is taking an hour to complete. But I will get there and when I do, I think I will know why : D At the moment, it feels […]
Right! Heard from our curator, Pascal Ancel Bartoldi, who has been in negotiations with Stoke Newington Gallery for dates in June 2014. Looks as though we may finally be going ahead with this project, but in revised form to suit […]
