I’ve started this off, because the other two are so busy at the moment, I’m the one with a bit of free time, over the holiday. We’ve spent ages discussing exactly how we should do this, but actually, in the […]
New website nearly done, just a bit of tweaking needed. hold tight! Watch this space!
Where to begin? I was thinking about pasting in snippets of our first conversations but I’ve decided to write about how I remember things coming together instead. I’m not going to talk to much about what I think now about […]
That’s the first week in our Comma Project shop over. I’m sat here now, we’ve had a good few people in over the course of the week but only about 4 today, need may more. It’s still in the planning […]

Relocation Relocation Relocation A big part of rebuilding and refocusing my practice has seen me think about where I want to be based. The questions that I have asked myself have been what is best for me? What is best […]
Just back from the studio and my fingers are stiff with cold. It is freezing out there. I had the dog with me and walking him home was enough to get really cold. He is getting used to the studio […]
Well. The Secret Project has been exposed! Julie Dodd, Franny Swann and little old me, we’ve started a group blog. It stems from an email conversation that started a while back, that may, or may not, lead up to us […]
‘I have an unquiet mind’ Nazereen in Brick Lane. I am not happy. It seems as though I have a puzzle in my head where many strings are knotted and I must untangle the right one to get to the […]
Had word from the Welsh retreat centre I visited last autumn. A sculpture trail is on the cards. Not having heard from them for a few months I’d naturally thought the crazy insects I’d made from the toilet seats and […]
Nice? Writing my previous post I began to see more clearly the way in which I was using the term as a pejorative. I have used ‘nice’ as an unqualified shorthand confirmation of my prejudices, partly class based. The distinction […]
Not sure what I have to say today other than as usual everything goes to pieces over any holiday period. I don’t know why I even try to do anything as I just end up getting extra frustrated when plans […]

Julie Dodd, Franny Swann and Elena Thomas started a conversation online. They have never met. They only know each other through their blogs, and the occasional email. They decided they’d like to do some sort of work together, sometime, somewhere, […]
Cultural Awards: It is true this blog is never ending as it is not really about an event or a project, its about what informs the works, it is a model for other things, experiments, like a nursery for other […]
Yesterday, my last day in Bratislava started with a minor problem with my binaural microphones; the very rare battery in the microphones stopped working. After searching the electrical shops through out the city somebody directed me to “Svet Baterii” (The […]
Still maybe unfinished or should it be incomplete? I decided to make ‘marks’ on this referring back to stuff from the past, little echoes of Abstract Expressionism. I told myself that I would follow my inclinations, do what I felt […]
I spoke to Kyra Milnes at the Harris museum yesterday about involving young people with the Black parade project, she was very enthusiastic, and felt that we could work together in some way as she knows various groups that maybe […]
Recent activity includes going to Eat with Art organised by Latitudinal Cuisine at the Mile End Art Pavilion and seeing the work selected for the Tower Hamlets Open. We were asked to take a dish from our own place or […]
I’ve been thinking more about the tutorial I had with my tutor a couple of weeks ago and how she saw my floor plan ideas as one sided and felt that my gallery guide idea was the stronger of the […]
My exhibition starts next month. I sent the ones to be framed to a friend. I have designed but not printed leaflets and the information cards. Could not print due to running out of ink and Amazon have taken forever […]
