DONT BE SENTIMENTAL transit yoga >> french horn >> and naming other works. Why am i finding this so difficult? I name work and converse with it (in my head) and these names stick, but I don’t always want to […]
Wow! What started out as a simple photo shoot (despite my state of panic, it was fairly simple) turned into an afternoon of media delights! A tv production company turned up too, to film footage to put together a short […]
Being in Greece. What with the heat and the fact that you physically can do *nothing* because of it, there has been little to inspire me so far. Yet there is dust *everywhere*. Too much dust perhaps….? I am waiting […]
I picked up a discarded office calendar in work yesterday and turned over the pages to September to check that nothing had been written. To many, September is just a day closer to winter and marks no particular significance. I […]
Rewritten, remembered, rethought. Expanded and contextualised. Why is it we chose to remember some things more than others? Again, I have written this post twice now. 3 seems to be the lucky number. Re-invent. I shall re-invent it. I want […]
We held our first (formal) meeting about the Project Space last week. We chose Chloe’s studio as the least uncomfortable of the three, she has proper chairs and a sofa for life models. An inspiring and productive meeting, leading us […]

It’s all getting very exciting here. Elmer Koopmans and Andrea Jacobs’ sculptural chairs have arrived today and I can’t wait to climb up them. Mali Klein’s ‘City Dress’ is installed, and I caught a quick glimpse of Julieta Ortiz de […]

Richard: ——- Really like Ross’s collection of images below – I can’t get out of my head this process of wandering and creating, of finding existing pieces and forms and then making and molding forms that will eventually be exhibited. […]
SOME MORE IMAGES HERE TOO, OF WORK PINNED TO THE WALL BY OTHER WORK. — WATCH OUT FOR THE painted sticks… you won’t find too many of them in Aberdeenshire… I don’t think. (need to visit first and find out).
My small sketchbook/diary I carry around with me has become very important again. I have a lot of sketchbooks and notebooks for capturing various things such as, exhibitions I have visited, drawings, automatic writing, ideas, visual diary entries, tickets and […]
So it’s 12 hours since I started making work this morning and I think i’ve accomplished a lot and resolved some of my earlier thoughts about trying to do too many things. I am doing lots of things, but I […]
1-6 November 2010 I was involved in an exhibition in Christ Church, Chester called ‘The Conversation’, the first exhibition by Chester Artists Collective. http://chesterartistcollective.co.uk/ Intrigued by a pile of framed pictures, gathering dust on the very back row of pews, […]
I felt it was time to start a new blog to chart how I am getting on in my new adventure up north. I am particularly interested in considering how an art practice can benefit from being pursued outside of […]
I have been back in Manchester since Sunday and settling back into the old routine. It was my birthday on Tuesday, which has made me feel very reflective about the past few years and looking ahead. However can you ever […]
Woah, a more than a month since my last post. It has been a manic 5 weeks, but all my MA work is done. I will post soon about my experiences throughout the last part of the MA at Wimbledon. […]

On return from a residency in China in July 2011, I have moved from London to Manchester. I am charting how this geographic move affects my career as an artist.
