Hello Martin, Thank you so much for your application! Unfortunately, on this occasion you have not been selected for ASSEMBLE. I actually saw this piece as I worked at greenroom and I was really pleased to see an old greenroom […]
Right then, better get on with it. I wrote a big list of things I’m going to need, and things I want to make before the exhibition…a small thing, a medium sized thing that will probably be a bit tricky, […]

Six Weeks In: I have been in the cooler over 6 weeks now and have not finished the 2nd mosaic yet. I haven’t been too intense about it and taken thing things quite slowly. I am still enjoying making it […]
Made some new paintings recently. What I think I like most about these paintings is the size of them. They are all 7.2 cm squared and I’ve never really worked on such small a scale before. The content also seems […]
Ok. I am sure you are all bored silly with me. I am. So skip this bit and come back in six months and see if I am any less annoying. This list is for me as I begin yet […]
