The images in this post are of a revisited piece of work that I created last week. Last year, I was working on ideas of society, family, friends and how each individual person within a family or within society connects […]
I feel I have talked myself hoarse today. Drunk too much Earl Grey too. All in the name of research. (Bo will be impressed, I usually can’t be arsed) I’ve talked at length with my friend Dan Whitehouse – he […]

Tiny Prawn Well, I did contact the festival organisers and they have confirmed that I will get the money in three stages, when I have signed the contract (don’t know when that will be) then some more “over the summer” […]

Representations of the Real After a day of rest (sort of) I’m back to my my full strength after another weekend of painting, DIY, sanding, filing and heavy lifting. Add in some unforeseen stress about the length of screws, an […]
