I’m really not meant to be working just now. It’s the summer holidays, and any attempt to even do mindless nothingness in my studio is constantly interrupted by the 13 year old. I’m applying for the AA2A scheme again to […]
Not much to say today folks, but a few photos of my working hanging at Junction Festival of Contemporary Arts, Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton. It’s been fun, and there are some amazing pieces of work about!
Such neglectful bloggers – busy bloggers more like! But in my case it isn’t a question of “out of sight out of mind” because as I walk about the place I see things and think to myself, “Julie would love […]

De-Ciphering “A cipher is any method of encrypting text (concealing its readability and meaning). Its origin is the Arabic sifr, meaning empty or zero.” In her text on Souvenirs, Susan Stewart writes: ‘The souvenir is destined to be forgotten; its […]
South London Gallery. Pursuit of perfection: the politics of sport www.southlondongallery.org Wellcome Collection. Superhuman: exploring human enhancement from 600BCE to 2050. www.wellcomecollection.org I’m not really interested in sport itself, but found both these shows fascinating – possibly influenced by the […]

Well I think I have solved the installation problem for the boats, so that is a relief. They will form a fleet around the Bronze Age Boat, suspended from the beams. I have been asked to put on a workshop […]
I’ve written so many statements in the last few days, it’s all becoming a bit of a blur now. I’ve now ( I think) sorted the blurb for the first of the Independents exhibitions : http://www.independentsbiennial.org/2012/08/03/thus-far-the-miles-an-installation-by-wendy-williams-15-30-september/ I have so many […]
I sit here with a beer (Bishop’s Finger), and a scotch egg (farm, not Sainsbury’s). A celebratory mood has taken over. The recording for the song is now finished. Just the mix to do. I have had a frantic week, […]

I find myself a bit over-emotional of late. I am on the brink. Several brinks in fact. I am about to install some of my work at Junction Festival in Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton. This has had its difficulties along the […]
Or this? Boats stitched together. The stitching would fit in with the fact that the planks of Dover’s Bronze Age Boat were stitched together and the stitches have been preserved, though deliberately cut when the boat was put out of […]
