Here and there: It’s been a few days since my initial visit to Wakefield’s Westgate Studios. Going over the material I gathered (video and photographs) a couple of thoughts have been chasing themselves in my head. The first is the […]
I’m suffering post-holiday loss of bearings in relation to my work, and trying to get my head back into it by going to film screenings and talks. As part of this re-immersion drive I went to Ian Forsyth and Jane […]
Been doing some interesting tests with decals since we (the uni) got a new decal printer. Results to follow shortly. Jelly baby is out!He just needs some polishing up now! :D
Blink and you’ve missed it. My fifteen minuets on prime time TV came and went quickly. I reached the third round of the Weakest Link before being voted off. I will post the video made from the appearance once I […]
I’ve just made a cake. Well it’s chucking it down so I haven’t gone out. I have done some research on all things live and made a list of materials and equipment for Tuesday – the start of live art […]
Feeling a bit pleased – just found out that I’ve gotten one of PVA Media Lab’s SALT residencies, running from the end of Feb – begining of March. I’m a bit chuffed about this, as it’ll mean making an audio […]

This is my first post of 2011 – how disgraceful it is February! I have been busy writing proposals and trying to raise funds for a big project which will hopefully end up at the Edinburgh Fringe. The whole raising […]
Saturday has mainly been a housework and domestic chores day. Washing, grocery shopping, tidying etc. The fairies don’t do it unfortunately. I’ve spend 4 hours on e-learning to be a census collector in the hope of getting some kind of […]
The virtual exhibition catalogue which forms the core of the dissertation is pretty much complete – I’m just waiting for some images from one of the artists involved now – they’re back in the studio on Monday and I should […]
Falling through the world Another week when I didn’t get all I wanted to done, a full on day at work yesterday and I didn’t get my collision mesh done. A collision mesh is basic low poly version of the […]
The ups and downs, the successes and the setbacks, this blog will chart the progress of a project, warts and all. Whether it materialises in its entirety, whether the necessary funding can be found remains to be seen but either […]

how to emerge? Drawing … Spent three hours, yesterday afternoon, between London’s National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square drawing and looking, and all for free! Aren’t we lucky. YES WE ARE! I know we are in the […]
Well I have, at last, made a collage from the last envelope of stuff – I began with the coloured pile. and an extra piece of strong colour that had got overlooked. It became the all important starting point. Bird […]
The studio is proving very useful as a meeting space. I lent 2 small easels to Lion Aid today for a sale they are organising to raise funds. The dog is a bit better so I felt ok about leaving […]
