Can I create an animation through printmaking? A residency at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery is starting me off on this. Their exhibition ‘Crafty Animators’ show artists working in some beautiful ways with the medium.
As can happen, I ‘the customer’ am often wrong about things here, so I welcome correction if I have got the wrong end of this. I was looking at my different translation software last night and then asking around in […]

I’m trying not to get discouraged with my very slow progress in making an animation. Not so much slow in the literal sense of making stuff. More, in my slow progress of understanding how to do it. I figured that […]
Several questions have arisen within my practice that require exploration. The first of these is: ‘How can I enhance the visual experience of the viewer?’ I am going to explore further the layering of different halftone shapes and frequencies of […]
I’ve enjoyed chatting to the visitors coming into the Thelma Hulbert Gallery. Finding out what they get up to.. I’ve met a research scientist, students from secondary school in Lyme, a jigsaw-maker…

The other day I filled out the Air France online complaints form. It took about 20 minutes because it was very precise about how things were formatted. I submitted the follow up complaint and received this message in response: Error […]
I have been out and about the last week or two, with feeble internet access and lots of work to do. So there is lots to say after some really interesting conversations and blog reading, but today I am trying […]
In my previoue post I waffled on about the conundrum of aesthetic and saleability. After spending weeks mulling over the suitability of the materials I have decided that it is more important for me to stay true to myself regardless […]

I was and still am reflecting on the assessment feedback from the last couple of weeks. I spent Tuesday building supports for new pieces of work and then an absolute age preparing chalk and half chalk grounds for them. It […]
Image just in from Lee – all the plates he’s done so far. I like the one on the far right particularly. (I’m also like this plan of me giving him an exposure, and then him does the rest. Could […]

I’ve just adjusted the title of this blog having confirmed the name of the piece as “Doing Words with Things”. It’s a play on J.L. Austin’s lectures on speech acts and pragmatics in the 1950’s which was entitled “How to […]
uber kunst At the studio I sorted out the webcam so that it has a motion sensor – it has a lovely vague quality like a polaroid. I love the ambiguity. also next was the pinhole photography, which was initially […]
