Ulverston-based Lanternhouse has announced it will close on 31 March 2012 in order for the charity to consider future possibilities and options.

A couple of exhibitions have stuck out recently. The first was the group show Trauma at GV Art. It took a psychological and a physical viewpoint – I have never really given time to the physical side. Like the thinking […]
I’ve decided I am binary. I seem to have two looks. One is an ‘on’ look – things are going well and one is an ‘off’ look – things are not going so well. I know this because when I […]
After quite an interval, performances of The Customer are starting up again. This brings to the fore that question of how much should I attempt to recreate what I previously did and to what extent should it be remade according […]
Sometimes you just need to go home. And I have. Today I read Jane Boyer’s a-n blog a second time. Reversed the order and read from post #1. I feel better now. You can read about Jane’s current practice and […]
The private view / final event of the graduate residency at The Lombard Method happened on friday! Despite it being -8 in the building it was well attended and people seemed to like the work! I showed 5 identical A1 […]

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a collective in Bristol and invited to take part in an exhibition in March. It was nice to be invited to exhibit rather than to apply. They found my work on Axis. […]
The fact that I’m writing this blog should indicate I’m relatively happy with text, in fact I’ve spent most of my time at UWE trying to integrate text into my practice or actually making the text the work (as in […]
Stephen Fry with Care Bear Head The blind drawings went well, I decided to use the old wallpaper up and make it life size. This one here was only a ten minute sketch but actually needed longer… more time for […]

NETWORK CATCH UP Trawling through the Network e-mails I was answering a question from someone enquiring about NAN Networking Artists Networks which they’d seen acknowledged on our promotional cards. I clicked on the link to the NAN page, only to […]
Relieved (but not yet counting my chickens) to say that my work is READY for Kinetica. Despite many disagreements in artistic matters my wonderful father has been a dedicated assistant and without his help I would be crying in the […]
