On Sunday 31st October 2010 I burnt 27 pictures of people I love. On this day the thinness of the barriers between this world and others is at it’s thinnest. The burning hopefully helps things through and shares the love […]

I found this hen pheasant by the side of the road, relatively undamaged. Due to the recent spell of coldish weather, I have been able to spend some time drawing it. It tested my capacity to see what I was […]

Ruptured something in my foot last week whilst making a mould for a giant jelly baby… so I have been off for a while. I’ve come back today to find (as I do each monday) that I get nothing done […]

Trapped in my lair suffering from a depressive illness I have been working on an arts council grant application to lure thousands of artists to their deaths. Today I finally pressed the “submit” button (actually I pressed it about 10 […]

The day for my face cast arrived! very excited if not a little nervous too… as you will see from the photographs it was a surprisingly neat process, but a bit un-nerving to begin with,the cold alginate trickles down your […]

On my hill I wait for wind And on my hill I wait for wind And on my hill I wait for wind And on my hill I wait for wind …. (Fountain, from the album Dry by P. J. […]

The lurgi has finally got me! i thought i was going to get away with not getting this cold but i’m really ill. So i’ve just missed the first day back after half term which is a shame as i’ve […]

a few more pics of their work… i think it would be nice to display these somewhere although i ended up using cartridge paper that wasn’t that thick and they havn’t turned out as well as they could on decent […]

We can only guess at the number of visitors who came to the Open Studios. Some signed in, but many didn’t. We estimated about 500 people… which isn’t bad on a tiny marketing budget. A great weekend! After little movement […]

The roof timbers for the ty unnos are now on site and I have a source for a large number of wooden pallets – ideal. I’ve begun a series of small scale models of huts and habitations. These are constructed […]

Up to Sheffield for the Documentary Film Festival this Thursday. My paintings got me noticed by a young film maker who wanted to include me in his short on the controversial Robin Hood Gardens Estate. Sadly me painting the picture […]

I keep beating myself up about some aspects of my work. I’m not sure if it is unhealthy, or, more positively, simply a way of appraising it. I suppose the answer to that depends on mood. Perhaps it is the […]

I’m still cycling away for the mapping 1 show – below is a video clip of 2km of object 4 moving on: its a small world but on a bike it feels big i’ve been drawing and making notes quite […]

While I’m here and am seemingly having a bout of Saturday night insomnia…. I’ll deal with the psychotic cats that I mentioned a couple of posts ago. Just so I’m not keeping you in suspense or anything…… A couple of […]

On 28th October 1828, the Marquis of Hastings sailed into Port Jackson after a 4 month journey from Portsmouth, England. Aboard was Stephen Hedges, the brother of my great-great-great-grandfather, Richard. Today, 172 years later, I took the Manly Ferry to […]

I arrived in Newcastle, NSW yesterday afternoon after a 3 hour train journey from Sydney. The journey itself was pleasant enough, save for the moment a rather loud couple got on and upset the peacefulness of the carriage. She kept […]

At the end of Nobbys beach can be found Nobbys Island. Once a rocky outcrop, the island was joined to the mainland through work carried out by convict gangs between 1818 and 1846. In 1855, the quarried summit of the […]

I know that this project is about hills. When people ask me, What are you working on at the moment? I say, Nothing really … well, I’m just starting a new project about hills but I haven’t actually really done […]
