merry christmas all

The recent state supported season of commemorations for the american civil war have been unexpectedly soul stirring. Since a predominate intention of this work is to use these ideas and feelings to advance the art work as inquiry and discovery […]

White – well it’s all around. I’ve been reading Kenya Hara’s book on the subject at at the end he talks about semi transparent society and hints at snow adding so sort of whiteness back into our lives. The whiteness […]

What happens when you are no longer contemporary? Simplistically either you become historical or you are forgotten. Looking through survey shows recently including the Turner Prize (many remembered, even before my birth I could recognise a few names) and the […]

A round up of 2010. Highs: This year started and finished with two blog milestones. A-N Blogger of the Year for a walk with Cosmo at the start, and recently the Blogger Interview with Andrew Bryant. This online community grows […]

Dear Santa, For Christmas, I would like a Chopper bike. And the Turner Prize. The art world is often accused of sexism, but ageism too? There is no valid reason whatsoever why anyone’s gender, race, sexual proclivity, background, physical condition […]

Apologies once again for the long break, the gallery chairman had an accident on the ice and is MIA for 3 months so my role at the gallery has stepped up a notch. Whilst I am enjoying the learning experience […]

Our exhibition opens tomorrow. Over the last few days I have been trying to come to a decision about what to show. Three weeks really isn’t enough time to make and show work, especially when you’re in an environment where […]

The day of the exhibitionThe work I am exhibiting is constructed from the artefacts of my endeavour – the bottles of water and bags of sand I have gathered during the residency. I have three pieces of work. The first […]

GoodbyesI have nearly a week left in China, but today is Nina’s last day so we spent it saying good bye and thanking the people we have met along the way. Nina completed her activity at the river bank by […]

Inspired by Emily Speed and Annabel Tilley, here is my list of highs and lows to finish out the year – and thanks Annabel! You’re on my list too! High Points: My solo show Vif! It was a great experience […]

Week 10 It was a very strange week at Wimbledon. All the BA students had gone home, and it was mainly just us in the building. I seemed to lose a bit of motivation this week as I think I […]

Over the last year I have become increasingly disillusioned with spin: over-blown, uber-awesome events or works dripping with positive press and lip-service that don’t live up to the hype. This applies to other spheres of life too, most obviously is […]

Oh, the irony. I publish a gushing post about how I intend to write more, and then follows little but silence, for over a month. It’s been a tough year, in many ways, but this past month has given new […]

It has been a while since I posted on this project: the nature of the exchange process means once the image has winged its way across cyberspace to my sister, I forget about it all until her response hits my […]

NEW WORK

I’ve been contemplating all day in my sofa ridden state. Notting Hill has been my film of choice it makes it worrying that i actually like Ronan Keating’s- when you say nothing at all in which was played twice the […]

It was difficult to find a good reason to get out of bed today but I did eventually and made my way to AUCB. I headed straight for photography where I had and induction in the photography dept. It was […]

It’s the Christmas holidays and I’m in Full Time Mum mode. Today I’ve been helping my 8yr old make some stopmotion animations, which are pretty amazing. They involve flying socks and a cushion-eating blanket. On the last day of college, […]

almost forgot Bana told me about Konan who’s super power is in her use of paper. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konan

Now in the final days of our residency we have met a German artist who is mid way through a 3 month residency in Chongqing, he is sharing a studio with a French artist who is coming to the end […]
