Sporting League 2010 – 2011 Game 8 Novia saw their gaffer sent off as they conceded a dubious injury time goal against Tranquilayers. Novia boss: ‘What do you expect me to say? If I open my trap I’m sure the […]
Cyanotype experiments are going well. The first test sheet using a negative acetate exposed as expected, though the multi image does not work well with the brush application very effectively. The second test exploits the relationship between painterly application and […]
Statement to go with quilt is finished. Books are either in the bag to be returned to the library, or tidily back on the shelves. The table is clear, scissors and tape back in the drawer. Tomorrow I’m in Birmingham, […]

Recently I had a remarkable conversation with my sister. In our family her memory is celebrated. It is believed her stories can take you back in time and I was anxious to ask her about a few iconic patterns -most […]
I think I may have found a loophole in ACE funding. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll get anything – but I do now know it’s all about wording. This took a fair bit of research plus an actual call […]
Welcome to episode 4 of creative conversations. http://creativedialog.wordpress.com/ This week I visit Weymouth seafront, where I meet local photographer Paul Russell. He talks about the difference between a documentary photographer and a street photographer. A definition of street photography is; […]
All my performances of ‘007 v John Ridley’ at the Ovalhouse are over and as is usual after a big project, my body and mind are a little jaded. I had promised myself to do less running whilst I was […]
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 […]
