Sporting League: Game 3 Athletico continued their one hundred percent record with a stroll in the park against Drakens…Universo Collunteen won three nil against an Olby side that look to have returned to mid table mediocrity…Green Tree bagged another three […]
We are now in the run up to the final MA show. The work will extend my research on cities, which has become focussed on subjectivities in the context of modernity, especially that of the flaneur. I submitted a text-based […]
I’ve spent the evening reading but I’ve decided to take a break courtesy of Gielen (see post #4) by making my labour invisible, being lazy and reflecting (Geilen). I’m going to save the last lesson (destroy brain with drugs) for […]
I have hit life in UK back with a bump, and although I am enjoying the food and company, I have all the job/home/studios issues to sort out as expected. I arrived back to Chongqing from Xian on the 9th […]

I have to admit to feeling rather disillusioned lately. The problem comes from an incongruence between my intellectual and emotional response to the world as a whole. I’ve started my first residency and have been feeling rather isolated. I have […]
According to the psychoanalYSL collective “Criticality’ (which is a word that doesn’t even really make grammatical sense) has become the necessary smokescreen for art’s absorption into capital” (‘The High Weiwei To Hell’ 2011) Concluding that; “Whilst the cult of Ai […]

The one redeeming feature about piano lessons is that it gives me one captive hour (assuming I can keep the waiting siblings from murdering one another) to read, write blog entries, assess homework and work on whatever art work I […]
Sporting League: Game 2 Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘The thing about Novia losing against Bayerns today is that they keep falling into the summer trap…no marquee signings, ye kno’, a real platinum transfer. Their no 2 player has been crowing […]
Funilly enough I’m finding it hard finding time to blog – can’t imagine why!… I had a great day at the foundry, being a bit of a pyromaniac I enjoyed setting light to the pan of wax more than putting […]
