Are you green with envy yet? Am I green with envy yet? I’m waiting for you to be jealous. I want you to wish that you were me. I want to stop feeling jealous. I want to stop wishing that […]
Collaboration I’ve been asked to collaborate with someone, it’s strange because I never thought that I would take part in another collaboration ever again (I’ve done more collaborations than solo projects) but being asked by this certain person I can’t […]
The Joy of Painting “All art is erotic.” Gustav Klimt I should say right from the off that this post is interactive and demands your concentration. When reading the quotes, it will be necessary for you to on occasion, mentally […]
These three pictures were taken in the photographic studio last December for documentation. I find it interesting to become part of the work, firstly because it serves as a mesurement for scale and secondly

WoW! That last post was the 3rd October. Ouch! So much for getting you all up to date with the project and keeping the momentum going… Progress has actually being going full pelt on this side; I just haven’t got […]
After some discussion with one of the artists – Julie, who has agreed to design and compile our book, it made sense to have all the artists work come to me for photographing, save on the to-ing and fro-ing to […]
Last week I had a really good, concrete tutorial with Rosalind Davis, funded through Shape Arts’ Creative Steps Mentoring scheme. Kindly she came to my home-studio-home, which meant it didn’t gobble up a whole week’s energies. Rosalind is so open, […]
After the success of the first day of the Alternative Christmas Market, the next two days were not as good as we expected. This was due to the council implementing a one-way system for the Christmas Market, so visitors had […]
It’s been a week to stay indoors, even if that indoors has mostly been as cold as outdoors. I have had a day and a half in the studio sorting through my collected finds. I realise now, fail to organise […]

If you’ve been following this blog, you might like to read this newly published interview in which I talk in more depth to artist Jane Boyer about many of the issues surrounding my work. Jane is curator of the forthcoming […]
