I’ve been fairly busy editing video for Firewall today! However it’s still not ready… but a section should be attached to my next post! I’ve been trying to find VHS players so I can transfer the footage I have for […]

My work attempts to bring together ideas of traditional, expressive painting with contemporary processes and reproduction, to create an image that deals with both imitative depiction and abstract, gestural mark making. My paintings often play out as a battle between […]

Hmmmm…… So…… having played with the small cabinet and the clothes and the music and presented it in a space to other artists several thoughts have emerged that I feel I have to address. I want to get some of […]

I wanted to add this scrappily drawn diagram here – it tracks life post YSP and how the exhibition has positively influenced things and directly brought in work. The curator and I really wanted to make something that could be […]

It’s the new term, I’m back from Estonia and London and today I held the first peer critique session. Writing the blog has been great, but actually having a discussion face to face with other artists, talking things out, much […]

Got the visas – One week to get the visa, another three weeks till it runs out. What a process. The next place we do it will be chongqing. Getting to know the city of Shanghai. Its never ending. Skyscrapers, […]

Some images of the Bike Wheel Dome I made for Small World Festival 2010 and the Bike Wheel Shelter I made to permanently stay at WoWo campsite (Sussex) 2011. Making these shelters coincided with the launch of Room for Imagination; […]

Projects and Preoccupations is an updated title. I started this blog as an experiment: an alternative to a studio, a gathering space for ideas and images to help with consistency and fluidity in my work. Three years on..I’m still finding […]
