I have finally started on my final piece for my degree show…………. Continuing my previous work I am using dough as a metaphor for domesticity, inspired by Rabelais’ Gargantua, a giant that “pees” on the people drowning thousands, I thought, […]
Thanks for the sunshine!! Gargantuanna is far too big to fit in an oven as i have contructed her as one piece rather than seperate pieces to join later thankfully the sunshine is really helping to “cook” her hope it […]
6.30 pm. I’ve just arrived back in Brighton after a week away with family, and am feeling particularly dazed, even for me. I spent most of last week in the Sussex countryside, where my parents had rented a converted barn, […]

Well the artist group I am in has voted to change its name so Moving Clay is now artXstra. Our first exhibition under the new name will be at the Macclesfield Barnaby festival in Incubation Arts, Dukes Court, Macclesfield in […]
Sometimes I’m just a bit rubbish. The Chicago Reader wants to cover our performance drawing in the window of Art on Armitage. The images we sent were too low res and I’ve been a bit slow off the mark realising […]
AS ONE WEEK BECOMES ANOTHER… I reflect on the past week and order its events in my mind. I realise that I have enjoyed the balancing acts of my different roles, while at the same time wishing for the continuity […]

I’ve not managed to write as much as I hoped. It has been hard to find the time. The installation is now finally under construction and I have been documenting the process each day…you can see those images on my […]
It was our first birthday in April at Core which aptly was exhibiting Extra-Ordinary which I curated with Jane Boyer: Tom Butler, Alyson Helyer and Marion Michell are utterly wonderful. ‘ Never was a title more apt – you really […]
