Yes, time to limber up my digits and get tapping away again! So much to report on since my last post which was…a while ago. I have delivered four of my Opal stone sculptures safely down to “Barbed” in London. […]
Well, the holiday is gone and I am pretty sure I need to go somewhere a bit warmer next year, a place where swimming in the sea is not painful. Fingers are crossed for some sun in Milan! Still, I […]
The PV We decided to have two private viewings. The opening night – 17 September, was the same opening night as not only all of the International Biennial venues in Liverpool, but also of several of the other independent sites. […]
Carnival Clowns 20th September I have for the last three months or so been working on a painting called carnival clowns. The idea was the basis for my mask idea. I am calling the painting carnival clowns for now, until […]
Thank you Dan Thompson – I am incredibly flattered… I read your comments and now feel guilty that last week’s post was, in essence, a press release. What can I say? I was excited about the big opening! Whilst I’m […]
You have to stop being what you were when you start paying attention to the work it takes to maintain your clear distinctions – B.C. Smith To my still much missed grandma, the term “collaborator” would have meant something very […]
I went to Nettie Horn this week to see Sinter Werner’s latest show, Along the Sight Lines. I’ve been following Werner’s practice for a while now; she makes site-specific installations, collages, large-format slides and photo prints that explore the unstable, […]

In response to Rob Turner’s comments below: Rob thank you so much for your comment. It’s funny, I read your post the other day on technology and I wondered if you had read something I had written, and then I […]
First day back at uni tomorrow. I have moved desks so now I am slightly less of a hermit but I did put a board up at the other side so I can hide from people if I wish. Sometimes […]
Monday 13 September It’s difficult to say when to start a blog, as although this week heralds the start of working together as a team for the first time, getting to this stage has taken a year of planning. The […]
We can start setting up on 27th, so I’m swapping my days in work so I can go in then. I hope I’ve got enough work. I’m going to go to a car boot sale and pick up some more […]
I thought I’d wait a while before I shared this I am still finding it difficult to clearly describe the Cerbyd experience without something going off in my head and entirely loosing my grip on reality. Each morning as I […]
I NEED THERAPY, NOT A BLOG. How and why does one experience incredibly unproductive weeks and then have a fantastically inspiring day or two? If I had the time and money, I would go back to University and study Psychology […]
Have just returned from the Bathing Beauties Festival in Mablethorpe/Sutton where 7 HMS artists took over 4 beach huts at the smaller seaside resort of Sutton-on-Sea. A great weekend. There was a constant stream of visitors but… I’m not sure […]

After a difficult year with many hurdles i hope to be able to pull myself out of a creative rut. I realise this won’t happen instantly but I hope it happens soon. This blog will act as my creative journal […]
