Townley & Bradby are developing an event for us to host on the 18th July. We’ve worked individually before with Townley & Bradby (way back), but this is the first time QH has, so we’re really looking forward to seeing […]
Today is the first day I’ve been able to walk into my studio and think about work. Hard to believe that things take so long, but I’m in at last, and have my paintings around me, reminding me of where […]
Today’s catch-up post is on a collaboration with family members in response to my late Nana’s photographic archive. This was one of the areas of work I wanted to address with Sarah, Caroline and Andy in the Re:view discussion sessions. […]
Week 36: 20th – 26th MayContinuing on from my exploration of the symbolic languages of idioms and memes, I have been doing more research into the concept of the allegory, ‘a type of emblem or trope which contains an element […]
Right. Now Contract and Insurance is nearly sorted, time for some work! Starting with a studio sort out and chucking lots away to give me space to make and think. Reviewing what I’ve made recently and what will be my […]
Just beginning to realise that I have somehow engineered a one-year long education project for Dover Arts Development; am pretty daunted, but there’s no going back now. Other projects are in the pipeline too for next year … which is […]
I have just spent a very busy morning with the Updown Gallery in Ramsgate helping them to set up the wonderful Piers Secunda’s show. Another wonderful insight into the workings of this gallery. The owners are such lovely people and […]
ANONYMOUS: Thematic residency My experience at Banff was incredibly valuable, but also fraught. It was worth the time, absolutely. The work I made during my residency was completely unexpected and could not have been made without the facilities and staff […]
The Opens with submission fees OK, I know I said only the other week that I’m never doing another open…..but I’m just ticking off things on the curator’s advice list. Despite my better judgement, I’ve applied for the Jerwood Drawing […]
I now have six or seven bra drawings… haven’t counted properly. The more I do, the more I love them. There is something about a simple ink line drawing that appeals to me. There’s nowhere to hide is there? I […]

Metal It seems natural for me to choose etching as my medium for this work. Many of my ideas come out of the materials and processes of etching. I love the 19th century technology of it and the substantial, material […]
I seem to have gone off at a tangent, so nothing I am doing seems to fit here at the moment… Unfortunately, Bo’s not posting either, due to the fact he teaches full time, and exams, moderation, marking, inspections and […]
barren day 17 Absurdity at 11am with Kippers So the image of Icarus falling preys on images here, subtly, not as a myth making device but similar to other artists giving it meaning via failure, ineptitude, foolishness and folly. I […]
You saw it here first. In 2012. Today I find that my work: SUPERHERO GADGET (BELT) has become a reality. http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-anti-pervert… I demand my royalties Life imitates Art.
19th June 2013 Weather: warm and sunny, but close and now feeling unsettled. What is the lifespan of a Transit van? Here’s another unit of time I am wrestling with. I seem to be having some kind of existential crisis […]
OTHER ARTISTS REFLECTIONS ON THEIR RESIDENCY Over the next posts I’ve included personal reflections by other artists on residency at the Banff Centre. KATHERINE SOUTHAM: BAIR residency The Banff Centre gave me the time and space to experiment with different […]
CAROLINE ALLEN: BAIR residency The Banff Centre residency was recommended to me by my University of Brighton tutor, Jacqui Chanarin, who had completed the residency a few years previously. Having recently graduated I was really looking to expand my portfolio […]
