A constant fascination with my family history, memories and childhood & how this has shaped my life, has been dominating my art practice in recent years. Yet I feel my work has been merely observational and working on a unsubtle […]

I have been thinking about my favourite artistic collaborations… Christo & Jeanne-Claudeparticularly Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin (1971-1995) Politics aside, Jeanne-Claude and Christo’s claim that “All our work is about freedom” is also interesting to consider in relation to the act of […]

Last week was full of research and meetings. Some useful some not. I still have hopes of an exhibition to mark the end of the residency and talks with a curator look positive. I like the idea of inviting other […]

I am finally back on line after a week and half of being out of range of an internet signal, it’s amazing how much of a backlog you get from just a couple of weeks. great news though!- I have […]

I went to London recently to pick up my work that didn’t get into the royal academy summer show :-( slightly depressing but randomly happened upon the saatchi gallery that i realised i’ve never been into and amongst other interesting […]

Been really rather busy again lately, the LSA summer show opened about a week ago with my sign work #2 on show, however it was the first show my works been in where i have had no say over its […]

My residency begins on the 1st September 2010. I have yet to receive official confirmation but already the nerves are setting in. I am unsure where to begin. Although I have a rough timeline and outline for the project Im […]

Just returned from an audition for the June challenge. I have applied for several TV shows some more long shots than others and today was the first day of experiencing an audition, it was also the first show so far […]

I was inspired to make an artists’ book after a Trojan virus invaded my computer. I lost a years’ work and this left me feeling violated and emotional. The front cover of the book shows the innocent looking horse that […]

As a small child I was fascinated with the button box and its contents. I would make pictures or play tiddly winks with the buttons, sort them into colours or sometime just pick out my favourites. As an adult I […]

Decision time. And mass editing time. Despite having about 80gb worth of video footage, I’ll not being showing any of it (add harsh editing decisions to that). Carpet is staying but is having nothing done to it, no projections, nada. […]

I was at an artist’s talk last week, with a bit of networking. I talked to a fellow artist and she said she was going through the process of trying to talk to other people about her art. She said […]

Been to the Surface Gallery PV this evening. Really interesting show with a mix of experienced and emerging, local and international artists.

My residency begins on the 1st August 2010. Even though, I’ve lived in Tynemouth now for over a year and have skirted around the place, this will be the first ‘official’ time I will be in residency. I’m not nervous […]

I’m forever researching one thing or other; Billie Holiday, the Yorkshire Ripper, fish! This generates a mass of notes and images. I’m going to have start sorting through them, to try and get some order- physically and mentally. My thinking […]

The discussion we were having about resolving the desire to work intuitively and the desire to enter into artistic/stylistic debate (David Minton – Dead and Dying Flowers post #50, and my posts #4 & #5, in addition to comments on […]

I am making two postings in response to David Minton’s comment on my post #6. The first, post #7, addresses objectivity and subjectivity. This is the second posting to address David’s question about my statement, ‘Therefore, it [the relationship of […]

Our holiday was due to start last Saturday but the timing of the CMC on Monday meant we had to delay by a couple of days. We drove directly to a lovely holiday cottage in Cornwall after the meeting. The […]

A roof garden in Rome. It reminds me of an exhibition I saw about the greening of miles of old rail tracks in New York which are elevated thoughout city. The tracks were used for transporting goods and now disused, […]
