T A L K ! T A L K ! T A L K ! Throughout my practice-led research I have been amazed by how often conversations have helped crystallise ideas. You can read and read and read, and write […]

So, I now have a three year plan! I had a crit with Matt yesterday about what to put in the exhibition but also about career stuff. It was really helpful partly because preparing for it got me writing down […]

Such a brilliant day on Sunday – planting and picnic event on Dover’s Esplanade as part of Love Architecture: http://www.lovearchitecture.org/event.html?event=1… It was a great way to enjoy the fabulous Tonkin Liu Esplanade. Presented at the East Kent Cultural Conversations organised […]

Feeling less than chipper today. I thought that the studio would be buzzing this week as they have an opening and summer party on Saturday, its like a morgue. It is difficult to get to know who the other artists […]

undone “What a pretty hat!” said the old lady at the charity shop… yes I thought, I’m going to cut it up when I get home. I’ve made a conscious decision not to become too prescribed with this, just go […]

Surprised to find myself doing another residency this weekend at the Koukan Gallery on Alexandra Park Rd, N10. I’ve managed to get my project in the AP and beyond Art Festival. I think I have more or less finished the […]

we’ve been keeping a blog, documenting the development of the 2012 belper art trail. in the absence of a marketing budget we decided that over time we could use social media to promote the trail by doing things in the […]

FAB(ath) 2012 Being back in Bath after 6 months of living, seemed like a strange, surreal dream, the bustling city, the posh shops, the golden buildings. All seemed exactly as it was in the city of forgotten dreams. Everything seemed […]

Got stuck in today, and produced some drawings I am really excited about. I am starting to get narratives going between the inanimate objects I am using, traffic cones, lampposts, stick, string. I am also finding it easier to start […]

Interesting comments on the label conundrum.Thank you. In the event I have only labelled four out of 21 works…and I also have a short artist’s statement up. I feel very comfortable with it now. Feels right. Yesterday I finished off […]

Later today they will bury an old friend of mine. Their burrying has caused all kinds of memories and feelings around him to resurface and I am at once young and yet older at he same time. daybreakyesterday’s dreams shift […]

Although I’m a tiny bit better than when I started this blog and have been able to leave the house for brief periods once or twice this month I have spent much of the last few days lying on the […]

I actually feel guilty, writing on this blog. I have other stuff pressing and need to make the most of things while the weather is so bad. As Mr Spock would say. ‘Contributing to this blog is illogical under the […]

All seems to fall away as I attempt to find the words to answer my research question, though of course there is no answer… I am constantly in a state of discomfort with small moments of delight as I try […]

I’ve been busy all last month forgetting about failed efforts to be an artist, and focussing on updating my illustration portfolio, I received my copy of a book I was commissioned to illustrate last year that has recently been published, […]

Judith Stewart Residency.Slightly disturbed at the start of today as 4 of the ponies were moved again to the other side of the space which not only meant I can’t see them when I’m working but a solitary pony was […]

I did have a good day in the shed today, once I actually got down to it. Elaine and I both intended to work, but not having seen her for quite a few days, we had loads of meaningless rubbish […]

Did you know that charity shops aren’t allowed to sell baby shoes? Why not? Stupid! I went to 3 and found nothing before they actually told me. So I’ve now got to hijack small children and upend them to look […]
