This Friday 7 June is our Private View event marking the end of the four week residency; meaning packed days ahead to make the final work. Having been away for a week makes me look refreshed at the space and […]
THOUGHTS 1. The stones haven’t grown, I might need to be a bit more scientific about providing the right conditions for life to start. 2. The job is fine. Today is my day off at the end of week 2. […]
As can be imagined its been especially busy with the opening of the show and being there to invigilate. I was fortunate enough to get away between finishing the work and the opening, time spent on holiday for a bit […]

Today I dressed the bed for her 2. It’s got a fitted sheet on the mattress and pillow and pillowcase and a double fitted sheet on the top. Completely unintentionally the double fitted sheet looks like a huge discarded condom […]
I got all of the plastic sheeting down and secured and began playing around with the composition of the degree show. I placed the two pink hers at opposite ends of the room and put the other two staggered to […]
HUMAN AND MECHANICAL ERROR. I set my camera up to record me smashing the phalluses. I had previously decided that I wasn’t going to use the video footage but display it on here. However I wanted to take the sound […]
One last post before degree show night. The warning that will appear on the door to my room. WARNING! MATURE CONTENT 18+ ONLY UNEVEN FLOOR PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN ENTERING
ONE MONTH TO GO Four weeks and counting to my show. I had a blitz over the last month and have ironed out what goes where and, most importantly (bar tweaks to the technicals like colour grading and audio balancing) […]
I’ve just sent off my invoice to the church and I feel hugely guilty asking for the amount I’ve asked for. When we first discussed the installation and workshops I gave them a ball park figure, based on what was […]
The second extract from the Processing newspaper, ahead of the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, is the conclusion to my interview with photographer Kevin Casey: JW: A few months back we discussed that when shooting the project, you observed […]
The attached images represent the experiments I worked on in the period between [OCCUPIED] & the degree show. These experiments started off as a question, what would happen if I combined the string with Castor wheels? What came of this […]
Well – it’s seemed a long haul at times, but today I finished putting on the white stuff, and tomorrow I collect my stuff from store. I have forgotten just how much I have, and some judicious ‘weeding out’ may […]
I’ve modified my Grants for the Arts project so that it includes a final presentation of Hear a Pin Drop Here, rather than of An Audio Guide to Varo’s Harmony. Whilst I still intend to pursue the latter I’ve found […]
It feels crucial at this mid-career point to create a personally tailored package of peer review sessions; individual exchanges with 3 selected artists whose work inspires me and whose practice both chimes with (and can productively challenge) my own current […]
barren residency at Artsmith;Derby 3/6/2013 Working in a space with a collaborator presents certain pressures – sometimes it is best to ignore the other and the pressures, and just begin – silent workers. Usually you end up gravitating, which we […]
