Lots of work and illness is to blame for my lack of posting recently. But, throat is pretty much recovered now and probably meant I had a good, if slightly painful, break from things. It was nice to get some […]
Since my last post I have been endeavouring to spend as little as possible. My parents read this blog and I was told that my father (an accountant by profession) “took to his bed” after being told of my profligate […]

Can a barren room be interesting? Initially colour appeared to be the most direct route to make the room more interesting. However this has become more complicated than expected. This simple and direct response to a space is more layered […]
Meanwhile… while I have been having my existential crisis about the meaning of my art practice I have been attending life painting classes once a week. These sessions are wonderful, as we paint with our tutor instead of being ‘taught.’
Where did it all come from, these atoms of self-consumption? Work so hard to make it all real and nice but you look back on reflection, in reflection. You see a girl you preferred just that little bit maybe a […]
When we are born ‘each of us is simultaneously the beneficiary of our cultural heritage and the victim of it’[1] from the cities and countries we were brought up in, from our own parents, or guardians. Certain aspects of who […]

Sporting League: Game 6 Bayerns still have a 100 percent record as they defeated 06′ champions Olby away from home. Olby boss..’We’re still essentially a small club, so staying in the league is a bonus for us. I think, maybe, […]
There is a lot of improvisation with the cooking this evening and a real emphasis on the fast as we’re running late. Ben decides to get everybody’s shoes out and start taking photos of them just before the rain descends. […]
