This is the real world. I’ve left Uni and now I have to fend for myself, in a world that has changed a lot in a couple of months. I find myself living in a new town surrounded by less […]
As I settle back into life in a small semi-rural village, light years from the notion of contemporary art, I intend to examine and record, how I fare as an artist in the real world despite being penniless, unemployed and […]
Today being the first of September feels a lot like a fresh start. After finishing university I haven’t done very much. I want very badly to be an artist and earn a living that way, but I can’t. Especially with […]

Low Points The inevitable has happened, I am having a project slump, a low point, a depression. The work I am producing I feel un-happy with, the challenges I am set feel un-inspiring, the durational aspect of the work is […]
Today I had two rolls of 120 film processed and printed, both of them from Berlin. It turned out to be more expensive than I expected so it looks like I will have to cut down on my compulsion to […]
Reverse Engineering I have written before about how I feel my investigations fall between being an original design work/object and reverse engineering (copying something that already exists). Reverse engineering was a new concept to me, but it’s a familiar term […]
I’m finding at the moment that dealing with disappointment is a big part of each day. From things like cancelled interviews and publications, to struggling with insomnia and adjusting some medication I’m on in order to not feel fuzzy headed […]
I’ve learned something. And in re-reading the comments on my last few postings, I realize our discussion has impacted my actions directly. Thank you everyone for your wishes of good luck! I had an opening on Wednesday, the 25th of […]
