Live art, sound and the short lived via a succession of varying situations bound in time.
This blog contains some of the various observations on Veince Biennale 2013 that I was able to attend thanks to an a-n go and see bursary. I have a particular interest in manifestos and performance but cover the event more […]
But, having won a Review bursary my hand has been forced and here I am dipping my toe in the digital stream with some thoughts that will noodle around my attempts to once again re-invent my mode of work.
The Essence of Foams I have noted in many of my resin experiments that when I add certain substances and pigments to resins, the cured resin contains thousands of minuscule bubbles; a kind of solidified foam. Although I’ve discovered that […]

My journey to the Gatwick already offered something: a gift that should not be ignored. There was a young woman sitting in front of me on the seats prioritised for disabled and older people. She was sitting by the window […]
The Biennale has proven to be quite easy to get into as gate security is not as rigid as it could be. With just one copy of the preview invitation it was possible to get multiple people in using the […]

POST #3: Nectarian Came across this image. Sir James Hall’s sketch of Siccar Point from the perspective of the boat. I wonder what the boat was called?? Must try to find out. I have also spent today looking at the […]

Have had a slow start to this bursary opportunity – Smooth Space submitted a small G4A in April and we proposed the Re:view award as part of our match-funding. I had initial conversations with the curators/arts orgs who had offered […]
