MA show in 6 months, and I feel like I have hit a creative block. Find myself doing all manner of things to avoid sitting at my “desk”. Thought starting this blog might in some way help? Or perhaps this […]

Sometimes problems just seem to solve themselves. I’m not sure how it works, but last week was one of lucky coincidences and opportunities. I had a good start to the week meeting with the curator for the show. We both […]

I have enjoyed reading through the blogs this morning. It is interesting how several lines, written by others, have link up with seemingly random questions in my own head, giving momentum to my thoughts. John Harris’s opener, ‘What does John […]

The purpose of this blog will probably shift the more I post. It is centred on the check in/check out shows but also on my own practice. I feel out of the loop and thought this would be a good […]

I had a tutorial with David Ferry the printmaker which was really good because he was looking at the work from a different perspective. He highlighted the significance of the object and the handmade which, I can sometimes overlook because […]

Spotted a tree full of Corvids on my way to my allotment today, so I took some photos using my phone. Interesting that they were hanging out right next to the cemetery. I am going to check out the Rooks […]

This is a video of the final exhibition of all the artist/workshop artwork… Final Exhibition Sandwell Arts in Queen’s Square

Displacement activities improving – ran 3 miles today!

So now it has come down to the style of the CV you submit. Since moving to Poole I’ve struggled to create any kind of income. Although I’ve met with a local arts organisation and the council I haven’t been […]

The Artists Workbench. Were has the that personel investigation into painting gone, what have I achieved in terms of making art from a personel exploritory point of veiw. Well I gave up on that and find I’m challenged on many […]

spent the last week mostly trying to create a network using MAC’s which can share video with each other… nearly there… during this coming week i’ll get it sorted I’m sure (and will post photos)… I’ve also been thinking about […]
