Been selected for the Contemporary Sculpture Show at Buckfast Abbey in April. Maginificent venue which is just perfect for the piece I’m putting in – an adaptation of my burnt wood circle sculpture which will be absolutely magical in this […]
Making inkblots today. Great fun with some interesting shapes resulting from them. Anthropomorphic ones and animal or insect creatures. I wonder what that says about my personality, according to Roscharch. It was good to see that some cave paintings in […]
Free Range In July, two weeks after the degree show at Bath Spa, thirty of us are taking part in Free Range, an eight-week series of exhibitions of art and design graduate shows from around the country. It takes place […]
Drawing from memory as Jo Farnell suggested. More than the two weeks have passed. The difference is considerable, between this and the first drawing. The rather wooden reorganisation of shapes and disproportionate sizes of body parts that is apparent is […]
Things that are not really there. I have been focusing on writing my dissertation for uni recently where I have been focusing on the Sublime in contemporary art. Little did I know before I started just how big this subject […]
A lot of sweat over building the Project Space website. It wasn’t the actually making of the pages, as I have kept them very simple and just needed to put time in to remembering how to use Dreamweaver. It was […]
Been asked to talk about the artist collective to an association of local businesses. With 24 hrs notice I’m not going to try and go overboard with a stunning presentation. Not sure what they will be wanting to hear, and […]

where was I.. passing through Antwerp, a curious place… whilst there I was struck by how it would be the perfect city for a novelist to live and write, it has all the elements, a hugely diverse population, a notorious […]
I am in the final year of a BA degree at City & Guilds of London Art School. Painting is my main activity, but I also enjoy printmaking and drawing. Our degree show will be in June, and I will […]
Knitting the sky – Knitted Week I’ve taken a photo of the sky every morning since Monday with the intention of recreating the mood and colour of the sky through the medium of knitting. I’m not a knitter but it’s […]
Today has gone by in a flash. Only two cups of tea for example. I’ve been synchronizing the videos: an alarmingly slow process of overlaying them semiopaque in Final Cut then editing them piece by piece while I wait for […]
I keep another blog through tumblr which up until now has been about the issues I have faced with my practice and what I am doing leading up to our degree show. I find blog writing a really useful way […]
Inside the gallery we are comfortable to put ourselves in situations that we might otherwise avoid. If we were approached in the street to go and see someone’s apartment or a space some had made would we do it? The […]
I have visited the new studios in Portobello road a few times and made myself familiar with the area, the refurbishments are still ongoing and our first goal is to set up the group show for the 21st Febuary. At […]
The sliding scale for art and craft could tilt so much that there’s so little craft that, it is so very fuller of art that it makes you wonder; how did this appear in the world? How did it arrive […]
