I took a taxi to the South of the city today (Songjiang district), as I will be teaching for a few days at the Institute of Visual Arts. I was reminded once again just how massive Shanghai is – the […]

1 3 9 64…54…74…40…48…63…36…22…? 160 – no, it’s 180. No, it’s now 165 but it could be more on the day. We have been juggling numbers for days in all sorts of guises. Setting the scene for spectacular free conversations […]

barren 25.11.13 between here and there So, here in Aberdeen, there are long stretches of beach either side, much granite and it is easy to romanticise the wanderer. It is harder to imagine the types of challenges of wandering when […]

WE ARE ALIVE AGAIN: WEEK THREE The other week, experimenting with a printed photograph on acetate, putting it into a card mount and shining a tiny light on it , led to the accidental, magical discovery of a ghost image […]

So… today, when I came down from the platform at Deptford, some lady asked me if I could hold her baby. I froze, so suspicious that she was working with someone else who was going to mug me or pickpocket […]

After a few months (away from, rather than off) I feel a bit distant from it all. I’ve been in a frame of mind of not really wanting to think about Hidden Landscapes or my art work and not really […]

Saturday was the launch of the show. I loved the details around it, the specially designed bookmarks for the poetry in the resource area (which are Rumi: Selected Poems and The Gift-Poems by Hafez ), the Persian –influenced menu at […]

Everyone is against the thought of paying for exhibitions – I know I am. But….needs must and all that. We have decided to include the work of other artists in our Jamestown NY exhibition. To cover costs, admin, transport and […]

Wow! It seems ages since I wrote anything on here. My life has been very very busy with builders at home, which has prevented me from getting into the studio. I am not fretting too much, rather, I am quietly […]

Single channel video with stereo sound. A revisited edit combining two recordings and other images from nature. Part of research and work developed to document processes and games created to measure the passage of time. Such play is informed from […]

Having a studio away from my home has meant that amidst the chaos in our house (due to moving) I have been able to make new work without distraction. I’ve been painting in my studio, a few new series. It […]

This little charmer is the only video I managed to make today. At least it has a cut in it. It’s a cut like dropping a bundle of string on the floor. This afternoon I met with the other artists […]

Sunday weather. A grey, muggy morning turned into a day of torrential rain, but as luck would have it, these were perfect conditions to see the current exhibition at James Cohan Gallery. The gallery is in what was once the […]

Sunday moring porridge and extras from last nights dvd. tea and the dog the looking wo full to get on the sofa. this morning is after the day before. Leicester coffee and portfolio revue relative to resident opportunities, at least […]

‘Unfortunately, I noticed your work has been damaged’ An email I received on Friday about my work in the Warrington Contemporary open. ‘It appears to have been done by an over enthusiastic child entering the gallery before his parents.’ I […]

Well, I’ve not been to the studio much last week. It got so cold, and in addition, I became quite incapacitated from my joint condition that I was unable to do much of anything. So I rested, and I got […]

First day at Salzamt. I couldn’t sleep at all last night. There were thoughts in cubes all over my head: Where in the bed are my socks? Should I put them back on? Am I too tired to go to […]
