Am currently focussed on exploring unit on visual cultures and networking practices and finding it hard to come up with something both engaging in audience terms and relevent to these technologies. So far have devised a project around the idea […]
I’ve been thinking more about how the costs of video production affect the way its valued, and realized my last post had a pretty obvious omission from the discussion of low budget styles of filmmaking: the No Wave cinema of […]
Sporting League: Game 24 Leaders Bayerns made hard work of their match against Indentine, finally running out as two goals to one winners. Bayerns boss: I never doubted that we’d get a result here, but the opposition made it difficult […]
Yesterday I installed Bunting:LittleBlackFlags:GardenParty at showborough house sculpture garden. Once it was installed and I started reading over my notes on the work and began to write a descriptive text for the work I decided that I need to program […]
Never ever EVER cold cold turkey from antidepressants, it isn’t clever. I have been stumbling around like the denizens of the Norwich road: eyes pointing in various directions, speech slurred, bowels uncertain. Indeed I have begun to feel a certain […]
I made some drawings today. I was trying to figure out what element of my work was the work. The act, the photographs, the chewed objects, the drawings all contribute to the work but what is the artwork? Making the […]

RE-VISIT, RE-VIEW. PART ONE Over the years I’ve made a huge amount of work which I’ve not resolved. I always thought I had a high failure rate, but actually, as time goes by, I realise there are lots of pieces […]

Finished my trophy commission and went to the awards ceremony last week! It was awesome! Everyone loved the trophies and wanted to know how they were made, I had my photo taken with one of the award winners and his […]
I’ve cut my mouth. Nobody witnessed me eating 32 sheets of paper sat on the floor begging the film to end. I turned to Ericka Fischer-Lichte to help me justify my actions. ‘When Beuys spent three days living with a […]
PICKING UP THE THREADS Looking back at my last post I realise I left off rather abruptly, so perhaps the best thing to do is to sum up by saying that the show went up, seemed to be well received, […]
PLANS AND PROMOTION Last week was a bustle of activity. I spent the whole week split between installing my work at the East Sussex Open and hanging a collaborative show with fellow Blue Monkey, Cat Ingrams and another Eastbourne artist, […]
The axe has finally fallen this week as the arts Council announced which RFO’s were lucky enough to be kept in the fold and which were to be left out in the cold. Gradually e-mails popped up in my inbox […]
Times flying along and trying to find time to really take hold of this and push it forward is a challenge but we’re making progress. Laurence and I met up again and thrashed out the final proposal and budget. Elements […]
We’ve recently had two visiting artists at college, Simon Woolham and Gurps Kaur. Both have been really interesting to talk to and bounce ideas off. Next week, we have a studio visit to Wysing Art Centre, in Bourn near Cambridge… […]
