While setting up the exhibition the other day, I was told of some comments another artist had made. I can’t quote exactly, but it was on the lines of ‘ If you can’t be a full time artist, then don’t […]

19/05/12 – Rehearsal on Thursday 17th. A chance to try out some new equipment and different text in the studio a few days ago, as well as trying new ‘stage’ set up. The performance at BETA on Wednesday was originally […]

That’s it. All done, everything is hung according to my diagrams, the work is all in order, sketchbooks are out. There is nothing left to do, except go to bed. Ill be starting my new blog on artists talking imminently, […]

Some photographs. First port of call is to work on a book of visual reference, take more photographs, collect more flyers, more drawings, that sort of thing. These were taken with a rather odd lens, in Ifan’s studio, I quite […]

It’s been interesting reading other artists’ blogs – I’ve come across several (Barefoot Blindfold, a project by Anne-Marie Culhane and Paul Conneally, or Phil Illingworth’s Notes from an obsessive/compulsive butterfly), where the focus is pulled away from the visual to […]

Someone’s given me another plate to spin. My work has been accepted for this year’s Junction Festival of Contemporary Art in Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton. I’m chuffed to bits. I have a fondness for this festival which started last year, and […]

Yesterday involved helping Jim set up some spaces in the basement studio’s as his colleagues left work at 5’oclock. Being part of making the space for others felt a worthy investment of time, seen as once finished with their space’s […]

‘Modern Madonnas’ is an exciting new group exhibition taking place during May and June. St George’s Arts has chosen thirteen artists from all over Britain, whose works provide a thoughtful response to the relationship between mother and child. Set in […]

A lot of time recently reading and researching, diving into the pool of new data visualisations and net-art has led to the creation of a new website experiment: www.photisms.com a simple first step into the warm waters.

Radio 4 The Purfumed Mountaineer programme this week interviewed head purfumer Shelagh Foyle: “Scent is just so attuned to memories and it’s so evocative it’s like none of the other senses. A smell will bring you back to a place […]
