Following on from our previous posts “Why You Don’t Need to Debut” This post is addressed to new graduates who are wondering what to do next, and who have perhaps considered attending one of the “how to get into the […]
I spent a fantastic day with Vicky yesterday and have a hangover to remind me of it. That yellow wine (a bit like sherry) really does slip down too easily. We spent the day wandering round various markets – from […]
Designer Labels I have started my Manchester cotton trade research online and have been really impressed with the MOSI website. Searching through all the menus I am really excited to see how big the collections are and how creative they […]
I made this video yesterday. The gloves I found in a junk shop on Bischofstraße a week or so ago, very very thin and angular and never worn. I can’t get them on my hands. I think it was the […]
Currently reading: Gordon Matta-Clark: The Space Between. (2003). James Attlee & Lisa le Feuvre. Nazraeli Press. This exhibition catalogue from the retrospective of the late Gordon Matta Clark (1943-1978) at the CCA Glasgow presents the life work of ‘anarchitect’ and […]
Continuous Project Altered Daily Another minor disaster to add to the Catalogue of 2013 Destruction (see post #126 26 November 2013). I’m not sure if since I’ve been studying rubbish, things have been becoming rubbish more often or whether I’ve […]

Thank you Gary Mansfield!
I never knew at the time how useful learning French would be. It was of course very useful to be able to speak it in Luxembourg, where I lived for 15 years, and eventually ended up translating French for banks […]
The aim of our collaboration with Judith Stewart is to conceive an intellectual context for the work we’ve been making. We are committed to developing domestic and employment routines which allow parenting and artwork to co-exist without one of these […]
I have decided to leave the making of hundreds of art-cut-from-newspaper cups, mostly because my motivation for doing that was to create an immersive piece of art. I was getting carried away with the process, rather than making sure what […]
The next image is small – A3 – and on paper. I find working much larger gives me more freedom and room to manoeuvre. A small piece doesn’t get space to develop.

Watching The Teenagers from Next Door (2013)
The Absent Other. ‘Objects, particularly those that are part of everyday, material culture, are things we carry with us, and it is in this sense that they take on the cultural markers of memory and of time as well as […]
