phew, what a relief!- For a while there it looked like there was either going to be no catalogue, or we were going to have to magic an extra £500 pounds to cover the cost of litho printing… but as […]
Through my body of work I portray the subject of happiness as a visual interpretation. To achieve this goal, I employ intense, vibrant colors combining them with intricate textural materials, arriving at predominantly large collages that convey the universal mental […]
Quick post today. My review of Jeff Williams’ exhibition There is not anything that returns to nothing (Grizzly Grizzly gallery) is up this morning at Philadelphia’s Artblog. I tried to give a good mix of description and art historical context, […]
MOVED HOUSE. It was quite painless in the end. I’ve always rented places with a spare room to work in (never a ‘studio’, strictly a ‘room’) only to find myself working in the kitchen, in the garden, anywhere with the […]

Interesting… I was just browsing through some exhibition opportunities and saw that one gallery asked for £20 just to submit a proposal. That’s new. Do galleries do that now?
Richard: Ross, I like your sense of line, especially pink line. I have just received a well received email from Ross with images attached that document my four photographic collage pieces in situ at ‘Abandoned House’. The work looks good […]
This morning’s post bought me a dusky moth in a small plastic box – from another artist answering my call for moths. Finding a moth, boxing it, wrapping it, sending it – how lovely is that? Feeling that I should […]
Sporting League: Game 22 Universo emphasised the gulf in quality that exists between themselves and former champions Olby after a mazy performance from their strike force – running out four goals to nil winners…Tranquilayers wasted no time in finishing off […]
