A struggle to begin with but eventually I pulled myself into a reasonably vertical position in order to face the day. My tutor was off sick but was kind enough to set me up with Sharon. I wondered about not […]
As I have found can happen here in particular, the reasoning behind things is not always obvious, you think you understand and then you discover another layer underneath which offers an alternative reason for why things happen in the way […]
I’m on the scrounge for some sinks. Joanna says she has a bath we could use.
Dilemma resolved. It’s been a weird few months with moving house and studio. 99 Objects has ended. The blog finished and half of the work sold in a quick open studio type fundraising exercise. Having just noticed this blog highlighted […]
Had a meeting at Metal last night to discuss the collaborations. I’m hoping that Jet ( my collaborator) doesn’t change his mind over what we are doing now – though I did get an email last night from him, asking […]
Writing blog posts is so much more fun than cleaning the bathroom for visitors coming. Things have improved immeasurably this year, I’ve no idea why, but I think I ended the year on quite a difficult personal note. More community-based […]
Art Without A Heart: How not to emerge! On Wednesday I attended an exhibition called: Future Map 10, which promised it would be: ‘Showcasing the finest talent from the University of the Arts London’. It was slick, so slick and […]
HMS website is growing. I built it myself and sometimes I get it wrong. Today, I learn that I made two errors affecting 2 groups showing next year. I credited the wrong name with the wrong image for one and […]

Well, I went into the studio yesterday morning and decided that the magnolia and brown makeover is ok and I was a bit mean about the apprentice decorators in the last post because actually they’ve done a good job. Part […]
There was enough sunshine yesterday to allow me to take photographs of the new work ‘Cara Mia’. I’m particularly happy with this one; it isn’t the work I have been referring to recently, although I’m just as excited about it. […]
Good to see the image I used in my last blog on the front page of Blog Topics, it doesn’t say it’s from my blog and it’s not my image but is beautiful non the less and is a lovely […]
Funding for international travel and exchange Funding… now that was a really nice Christmas present ! I saw the email and automatically assumed it was another reject from somewhere …as you do. But no – it had attachments…and an opening […]
Around Firenze I wander eager to seek out new places in a city that’s become familiar. Following the winding streets north I discover a park and in its centre a carousel. The park is deserted but the lights of the […]
have decided to keep working with found objects for the moment. its so hard to let go and experiment without all the space i had in university. does anyone else experience a shift in working method because of this? anyway, […]
I submitted my book into a call out from ‘Artists Book Collective’ for a show that is in conjunction with the Leeds International Artist Book Fair. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=173220386050059 I have just recieved an email to say that they’d love to include […]
The name of the game this week has been preparing for the assessment of the first big practical module , the research module – Negotiated Study 1 which happens next week. I have managed to prepare my space ahead of […]
Some more installation views of gimme shelter installed in my studio space ready for assessment. One of the things that took time was getting the lighting right, I needed relative dark for the lightboxes and video, but brighter light for […]
what place for competitiveness? this could have been my blog entry subject as i’ve enjoyed reading rob’s entry with the cycling video attached and it has resonated with my own recent realisation of ‘the sports context’ within what i do. […]
