Need to get my comissions out of the way so I can really focus on my work. Really getting in to developing my ideas now.

The idea of this blog is to document a conversation. A conversation between two brothers. Between someone preparing for a huge physical task and someone documenting it. Between an artist and a scientist. Following a conversation on holiday, Pete (older […]

I wasted that £1.99, as my camera lead has now reappeared. At least I have a spare one now for the inevitable time when I lose the orginal again. Here’s a mock up of the domes I’ve been working on. […]

I was too busy last week to write anything here, we were getting everything ready to be taken over to France for the first week of installing the garden. This has involved many things from getting vans fixed, buying plants […]

The interim show has come to an end. It will be a while before I have to make an epic trip from one end of London to another at rush hour for a while. It turned out that both the […]

Oh dear! Again, such a long time between posts. I’ve been busy since the New Year with a number of things, two of them significant: – Developing, proposing and planning my first-ever community-engagement project as “lead artist”. It’s an idea […]

More, more, more, searching and looking and painting today. It’s March Break and there is little to do up here otherwise for me. It is a good place for that. Painting, reading, walking. Where is the joy? I ask, because […]

A breakthrough! I seized the day and did the job I have been putting off for weeks – many pencils sharpened later – shoes shined, washing up done – it was still there. But procrastination has been conquered! I’m sure […]

The joys of collaboration The collaboration between me and my mum Catherine originated when Madrid based artist and curator Maria Cobo, invited me to participate in an exhibition about illness and photography for the Fotomanias photography festival in Malaga. I […]

Sunday was my last day of my residency at Westgate Studios. Spent the day photographing around the building again, as well as having access to artist Ian Smith’s studio:http://tim-naish.blogspot.com/ as well as the empty 1st floor area which I hadn’t […]

It*s our last full day here today and it looks like yet again, we have a full programme of activities! Before doing anything though, I must apologise to Jet’s wife for not spelling her name correctly in this blog. Although […]

Smiley’s People ends with such a powerful feeling of despair that overwhelms the success of his plans. In fiction, unlike real life, no one is happy once their arch enemy is defeated. Holmes repeatedly mourns Moriaty’s demise at the Reichenbach […]

I am getting organised to head North tomorrow, to start the project on Wednesday morning at Mortlach Primary School in Dufftown. Dufftown is in a very rural location and pretty high up so the weather can be quite severe. It’s […]

I am based in Parson Cross, a regenerational area of Sheffield, for my Yorkshire Artspace starter studio for Engaged Practice placement. The studios are not ready until July so I have decided that I need an alternative space to start […]
