We are warming up to the open studios launch on friday night. Professor Lim is flying over from Korea for the preview of his show in HMS Exhibition space too. All v exciting. This year there’s lots of competition as […]

Monday came and went, in the middle of it I had the pleasurable experience of “having a good day”… Yes, today started off very well indeed, having realised the gallery who represented me at the London Affordable Art Fair, which […]

Havent posted for a while, the dull weather here has affected my motivation. Have, however, managed to get a lot of editing done and spent some time on google earth locating more tholtans. Hanging week again next week and once […]

’Somewhere, in all these rocks and stones, is my home’ Inês Valle Exhibition – October/November 2010 (…) Couture said his students: Attend good places, visit the Louvre. But after seeing all the great masters who rest there, one must leave […]

Just pondering the meaning of success. If I Google myself at the mo (I have to say I am not in the habit of doing this normally… I tried ‘neil armstrong artist‘) I currently come up number one, three and […]

So, last night, sat as usual with a glass of wine, some music and my note book, working through a few ideas in my head (*put it to paper before I forget*). Scribbled down an idea, then bang! – that […]

A great day’s scavenging – I have enough long lengths of 2″x2″ timber for the roof frame for the ty unnos.

A day of two halves So this morning I have Seen the Trees….. Walked in the Rain….. Heard the Birds….. Stopped along the Way….. Smelt the Flowers….. and Trusted the Universe….. and I have followed up and carried out some […]

Cardboard Folly had a modest launch last week and although the house is still full of paper and cardboard, it was great to have it completed on some level. Now I really must attend to the website and get photographing. […]

Collected Texts Phil asked me to send him some text from my experience of working in China and I thought it would be a good idea to use my blog and pick out bite size phrases. In my work I […]

Tested out a solo version of the mobile exhibition on the opening afternoon of the third Brighton PhotoBiennial. It was throwing it down with rain so not ideal conditions. Had to build an adhoc rain cover for the picture, good, […]

A lovely conversation that did crop up whilst I was trialing the mobile exhibition was how many songs there are about working at night. The anthem of the lot, ‘Nightshift’ by the Commodores was considered a classic, even with Lionel […]

I find it hard to blog here as I feel its more likely to be read by others than my personal blog where I quite literally bare my soul for public reading. Today I told myself I have to start […]

Through early morning mist and frost to Heather and Ivan Morison’s wood overlooking the Mawddach near Dolgellau. Heather had kindly agreed to help me with my dissertation and spoke freely of their practice and nomadic lifestyle, of model-making, reading and […]

A Constructed Sense of Place One important issue for me is that I have visited these places and have personal memories and images about them. Another thing is that they are locations and periods of my life that I have […]

Sometimes I wonder if I am slowly going mad, and other times I feel like the descent is gathering pace. It seems I put myself under a lot of pressure; I think many artists do. Is there an alternative? I […]

It was sooo amazing to do the movement and presentation skills class with our Head of School of Arts and Humanities! it was a great opportunity to free up and just release and i felt that as Chrissie had set […]

As I mentioned at the end of my last blog, I’ve started an MA. I’ve joined fellow Artists Talking bloggers Abbi and Christina at Wimbledon. So far, it’s just been a case of getting into the studios, doing loads of […]

Experiencing all sorts of challenges!!! Its great to be in the studio and also plan for things to come. I am grateful for all the opportunities and support from tutors and my support / friend Chloe Sage. Preparing for the […]
