This week I presented a seminar on my work, which raised some interesting questions in debate following it. My pieces in relation to the territory of debris sparked comments that I was moulding half a world due to the nature […]
Thank you to Lili Daniels for commenting on my blog, it is so nice to know I am not talking to empty space. I don’t think I am focusing on one aspect of teapots at a time, I am trying […]
I haven’t been posting as often as I had originally planned but I suppose I didn’t take into account the amount of work I’d be getting on with. I’ve decided to share some images with you via Twitter. Dinner: http://t.co/9zOyvWwG […]
News As promised here’s a brief outline of the first section of the new website to be developed – News. As a new feature it allows us to experiment a little bit with the basic structure, design and user interface […]
Phew. Sorry I vanished. I’ve been working to another deadline which pushed everything else out of the way. The MAO exhibition is taken down now – photos soon! – and now I’m turning my mind to the associated publication. It’s […]
So things are finally happening and happening fast! We have a shop, all agreed anyway, nothing actually signed yet but I have a cheque for admin fees to send off to the agent and then its all go. The owners […]
In Process Residency – Day Three Stephanie Douet, The Queen of Hungary Project Space, came into the room today to leave her preferences imprinted on the arrangement. She lauched into shifting and adding and subtracting works, moving the emphasis away […]
After me saying I wasn’t going to reveal the artists I am now – the person in question has sent me an email accepting so I thought I would reveal all. I’ll blog about each proposal over the coming weeks […]
I sent my form and pics in for the RA Summer Exhibition today – not holding out much hope – cursing myself already for wasting £50 on such folly (and my father is fuming with steam pouring out of his […]
Leg 4: Days Inn, South Mimms Services, Potters Bar to Premier Inn, Kings Langley (12.9 miles approx.) Today couldn’t have been more different than yesterday. Woke up to a dry and sunny day, which bode well for the rest of […]
Never let it be said I had a weekend off. Even during my brief sojourn in Portsmouth I was on the beat – well, kinda. I went to aspex (you must know by now how much it hurts me not […]
Had my group crit today 0.o Things I learnt: 1.) I can borrow a keyboard with an inbuilt speaker from college. 2.)Keyboards don’t like glissandos. Especially when the sustain function doesn’t work. 3.)I definitely prefer pianos to keyboards. 4.)Telling the […]
It’s interesting how being an artist differs from one to the next. In the course of Hockney’s recent remarks upon question of authenticity of the artist, the creation by the hand of the artist etc etc, regarding particular conceptual based […]
It’s been sometime.. Life has done that thing that it does on occasions and the universe has taken me by the hand and led me ‘Over here..!’ The key to all this as I am discovering has been with me […]
At the end of 2011 I went to Berlin for a month to get a grasp on what it might be like to live there as an artist. I found it a massively inspiring place. The inspiration for me didn’t […]
Collaborations can emerge from the strangest of places. A fellow guitarist who initially I knew only through guitar forums turns out to be a bonafide composer of contemporary ‘sounds’ – studied composition at Dartington where his tutorials were extraordinary: “the […]
Quite a serious looking horse with a bath..Wales..
I’m back into the swing of things now, after being a bit thrown by last week’s tutorial. To generate some new ideas I cut up a photo of one of my paintings from October, and created lots of collages, taking […]
When the bus finally made it’s way into the south of the Czech landscape the snow was about 8- 10 feet in drifts which reached up and over some very low houses and blocked roads so that only walking was […]
Occasional conundrum #1 Swiss army knife or chef’s knife? A web and app developer we were talking to the other day raised this question as to which you would use to make a great meal. We were discussing the balance […]
vintage wallpaper I’ve discovered my local charity shop sells rolls and rolls of old wallpaper. Today I decided that this will be a great medium for drawing; it’s cheap, available and some of it is vintage. Saturday I will go […]
Went to a training day with the Sophie Lancaster foundation yesterday, its strange how i knew all the details of sophies death yet hearing them again and seeing the support and love involved with the group was amazing…it feels like […]
Some photos of my little house sculptures :)
Hmm…..just can’t find the time for this. It feels like one thing too many, but I really don’t want to give it up. Lots has happened. I have been incredibly, stupidly busy but in the middle of all the admin […]
I’m feeling really positive about my work at the moment. However; we have cross year crits next week. They are an opportunity to see what is happening throughout the years and to get feedback on your work from people who […]
