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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
