Visitors to my studio during Forth Valley Open Studios who came expecting to buy work were in for a shock. They found themselvles immersed in an interactive artwork with themselves as the “star”. So, what was it it? Well, research […]

The first lengths of Woolly Bunting are up in the Market Square: it was so exciting to watch and I got very emotional thinking of the care and time that has gone into creating each pennant by every single person […]

It wasn’t very sunny, but at least it didn’t rain! I did some more drawing from the shed, then had a bit of a clear out and a tidy up, ready for Robert Lane to sing in the shed during […]

Andrea’s PV went off really well. The sun shone and so we laid the stones in the Butterfly Park and stayed there for the whole PV. Lots of people came, people who had been in during the month watching Andrea […]

This will be my last post here – THE GRAND FINALE (the opening of my degree show) was last Friday and I have spent the last week oscillating between relief at having finished and sadness that it has finally come […]

Yesterday I did some experiments in the morning photocopying over some of the drawings I have been producing. I didn’t think this was successful and I ruined a drawing that I really liked. It is hard when that happens, when […]

Brilliant evening yesterday at the Canterbury Culture Awards http://www.thecultureawards.org/2012-winners/ and all the more so as DAD won the award for excellence for Watermark. http://www.watermark-film.com/home.html There is rather a nice group pic here http://www.thecultureawards.org/wp-content/uploads… So now back down to earth – […]

I have successfully completed my degree show, officially graduated Oxford Brookes University with a 2:1 and thankfully managed to get the grade I needed in order to attend the MA in Art, Aesthetics and Cultural Institutions at The University of […]

Today was a bit of a non-day. To be honest my failed experiments yesterday knocked me a bit (thanks for your supportive words, Kate:)) Saying that I did achieve a lot of practical things, organising, clearing my space and thinking […]

T H E I M P O R T A N C E O F S H O W I N G U P . . . I have said this before about Stephen B. MacInnis , he knows the […]

Today Stephanie and I have been preparing our talk for the M.A students in Colchester tomorrow. We’ll be discussing the benefits and hindrances to artistic practice of running The Queen of Hungary as an artist’s space. Just the usual stuff […]

My recent work at an infant school in Brighton: As a visiting artist for Arts Week I ran workshops for four year 2 classes. Each class created a wire circus inspired by Alexander Calder’s circus. These workshops included- a short […]

My neighbour’s music is once again seeping through the brick wall as if it were nothing more than a sheet, but as soon as I started to stir some indignation, I realised that this time it’s a live Peter Gabriel […]

Images from take home Circus Project B – Acrobat Mobile – at an infant school in Brighton (see previous post for further info).

I set up Room for Imagination (an artists collective) a couple of years ago to pool skills with other creatives in order to take on commisions and create installations and workshops at various festivals. At Small World Spring Festival this […]
