On Wednesday I am meeting with Yu-Chen Wang. Yu-Chen is doing the Breathe residency at the Chinese Arts Centre (http://www.chinese-arts-centre.org) and is looking into the possibility of collaboration. I’ve been looking at her website (http://www.yuchenwang.com) and enjoying her exquisite drawings. […]

So, taking on board the feedback on my presentation, I have abandoned the small drawings and am working bigger and in a less controlling way. I managed to spend several hours in the studio and the only large piece of […]

This is going to be a year long project.. I can only progress rather slowly in between the rest of work, family, brain-rest. But there’s no rush, really I’m sure. In an ideal world I’d love to work soley on […]

I’m not sure if this blog is getting a bit stale as its a once-monthly update, and not focused on a particular theme. But I do find it useful for my own records, to look back and get an overview. […]

Bobby Baker presentation inspired. I was so excited about the performance and it mostly went according to plan. I had timed my slideshow so that I knew, when it got to the last slide, I had about 45 secs to […]

Repetition, incongruities of scale, figuration and autobiography, are, I think, recurring elements of my work. I have some interesting Rook video that I want to match with ‘Rook like’ performance. Unfortunately the likeness of behaviours has a limited life span. […]

Sunflowers Seeds and Dinosaurs What’s smaller than a crack? A hair line fracture of work this week maybe but I didn’t expect to get anything done it being half team and all. Thank goodness for my sketch book at least […]

I’ve just watched Michael Haneke’s Funny Games as recommended to me by the head of the course. A psychological thriller where one character is aware of the audience and sometimes talks to them and also at one point rewinds time. […]

I presented an ‘in progress’ version of my slide animation at Last Friday Shorts in Southend last week. I’d spent some time before the screening expanding my 50-second edit to allow a lingering over what I realised were in many […]

I’m seeking views on Dartmoor and if you’d classify it as a theme park or as a wilderness? As you can see with the older posts here, 

I’ve been working with young people who live on, or near to, Dartmoor […]

Today was the last day of a really good two weeks of the Art Allotments exhibition. It has been open in the Visual Arts Network community Gallery in the (new) market hall in Shrewsbury which is is not the easiest […]

I had a meeting with my supervisor yesterday. It went ok. Then I went to Nevile Coopers show and began to see the day through red wine tinted glasses, needless to say today has been dreary.

I did something I have been meaning to do for a while now and that is to check out the ex-pat scene, as I have avoided it up till now. I had the idea that it would reveal something about […]
