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 […]
Dear me, I’ve been told to expect a press journalist to call me tomorrow to ask about the new collective. I hadn’t anticipated this level of interest so soon in the project. I only began last Monday! I haven’t even […]
There’s been far too much reading and thinking, thinking and reading going on in this house for my liking. Interesting, but I’ve discovered it is rubbish for my sense of direction in terms of my own work, and gives me […]
I have been offered a property now, it’s not my first choice and I’m holding back to hear from one of other shops before I sign anything but at least we’ll have somewhere now. Its next door to the post […]
My photographic practice doesn’t normally focus on individuals and groups of people. I am normally comfortable documenting urban, rural and coastal subjects looking at human interaction with these places such as graffitti, litter, man made structures, town planning etc. This […]
2012 has so far proved to be as busy and exciting as I thought it might. New Ferry Butterfly Park empty shop project is well on its way, see my other blog. www.a-n.co.uk/p/1838820 My job at Deane Road Cemetery is […]
I seem to be falling into a pattern – posting once a month! Funny how social media can ensnare you, make you feel guilty about not checking in regularly! Despite illness (now completely gone – hooray!) I managed to get […]
Stephen Fry with Care Bear Head (continued) It has come to the point where I’m grabbing family members on the off chance that they will pose for me in the bear head, but it’s good I’m not complaining, they are […]
I hardly dare think it let alone say it out loud but (whisper it) I think the snow is melting… Having been in a state of apoplexy about not getting to London for KINETICA next week and realising that if […]
I started this blog in November 2011 primarily as a way of documenting my journey from losing a studio to the hope of re-establishing myself in another. Scroll on three months and I’ve just this week signed for and made […]
Two potters from our Hungarian exchange group are now set to come to England for the duration of the kiln building week. Tunde Ruzicska and Eniko from the artists group ‘Cerative’ have booked their flights and will arrive at Manchester […]
SMOKELESS KILN BUILDING COURSE The 18th Century remains of Manor Farm form the last part of the historic Sheffield Manor Lodge site to be restored. An important part of the redevelopment will be the construction of the first urban smokeless […]
El Anatsui – The Genius of Contemporary Sculpture Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui has exploded as one of the leading contemporary artists, of his generation. Winner of the New York Museum of Arts and Design’s Visionaries 2008 award, his meteoric rise […]
Been really busy since December, when I started to get results that I could feel satisfied with. Since the begining of Janaury I have been working producing screenprints and video that are starting to make more sense to me. I […]
Matthew Collings talking about art or, according to the DVDs I found in the library, a man who sounds like Matthew Collings yet looks suspiciously like Frankie Boyle due to the horrific colour and picture quality… talking about art. I […]
On Friday, I suffered from an allergic reaction, I missed a meeting and I ran out of stamps. On Saturday, armed with antihistamines, I bought stamps. I then attended a hilarious performance by Frimston and Rowett followed by a talk […]
