Well, where has all that time gone? No time to update blogs, as I have been busy on the first artists residency at the new firstsite gallery in Colchester, during the summer. We called the collaborative project Precursor and the […]

A Bid For Freedom Here’s my plan: havn’t got long as Von Luger’s search light comes round every 1mins and 35 seconds. We are opening up Tom (tunnel No.1) and pushing it beyond the tree line. We have a final […]
Writing is a strange activity, and I’ve been thinking about how I do it, and whether this is an efficient way to do it. I’m talking about so-called academic writing here, not the odd bit of lyric writing or blogging […]
As a counterpoint to these podcasts of people talking about the artistic situation in West Dorset, I’m also working on some field recordings of my landscape. These soundscapes are being issued at http://51degreesnorth.bandcamp.com and my aim is to release one […]
Endings and Beginnings Have taken down ‘VESSEL‘ from the Canterbury churches today. It was a delicately subversive show that I’d like to take on elsewhere. Great artists – I look forward to collaborating with them again. Tomorrow I take the […]
Still trying to get the ‘fog’ out of my lungs from yesterday’s trip to Kurt Hentschlager’s Zee at FACT in Liverpool. Yes, I did fill in the disclaimer and the check list of health issues, but I still feel slightly […]
check out documentation finally online – well nearly all of it. Havent taken my photos yet. http:///www.checkinandout.wordpress.com but Claires and Lyndas work looked strong and really worked in their settings. Really enjoyed the open house structure so am in early/mid […]
On Tuesday I’m going to see one of the Stockholm City’s artists’ studios. The city has a number of studios that periodically come up for rent. It’s highly unlikely that I will have a chance of getting this studio as […]
Just finished the 5th Open Studios weekend at Harrington Mills. The atmosphere was different this year. In a good way. We were more relaxed. The opening was as busy and energetic as in previous years and we had a steady […]
We are speeding through China at 300 km an hour on the bullet train – it used to go a lot faster, until the big crash and 35 people dead last month. China is developing at such a speed, it […]
Last week in China and internationally a lot of media have been reporting on the awful story of a little girl, Wang Yue, who was ran over twice, while total of 18 people passed by, but did not extend a […]
Much of today has been spent struggling with Final Cut Pro even though the task is relatively simple: cut down a two-hour conference into 6 2-minute videos using stills and sound. I’ve completed 3; 3 more to go.
‘Time to think’ I find myself returning to a dream that I had many years ago, whose meaning escapes me, but which was so ‘pure’ that perhaps it’s now time to excavate it a little. In the dream I see […]
Notes on work, working, making work, and all the stuff that goes into being an artist
Owen Hatherley’s book Militant Modernism touches on Cold War paranoia and alien worlds and alien visitors. Hatherley adds to the well-known proposal that the plethora of American 1950s space B-movies egged on by McCarthyist Hollywood, were a response to the […]
I haven’t blogged for a while so here goes. This blog will be about the work I do as an artist and about what constitutes an artist’s everyday, from my subjective viewpoint but which hopefully will resonate with a few […]
