This is the start of my blog from the wonderfully named Flushing Avenue in Bushwick, NY where I am staying with Julie. Its technically about the residency I’m going to be doing at i-park, in Connecticut, but as I’ve been […]

The Pearl Fisher is complete. The last ten posts which include a description of my experiences at the Whitstable Biennale (apart from one which mysteriously disappeared) are available now at http://thepearlfisher.blogspot.com A complete transcript with some bonus material will soon […]

Tenneson and Dale originally wanted to try working together because we both shared an interest in text as art… I was making artist’s books at the time and Cherry was making signs: the use of language in her work aimed […]

Following on from my last post, I thought I’d make a slideshow video clip, so I could see what changes have happened in my work. The clip below goes back a little, from my degree show, and through a couple […]

The set up of the ‘All Systems Go’ show ended up being what the Curator Louise Ashcroft called a mini residency. There are 35 artists in the show altogether and meeting most of them and getting to chat to the […]

So Robyn Woolston (www.robynwoolston.com POST colleague) and I have arrived at the Salzamt this evening. The otherwise rather grotty Ryan-air flight was brightened by a coincidental meeting with a Linz artist returning home. Peter Arlt (www.peterarlt.at) has just done a […]

This is the first time I have kept a blog and I feel a little apprehensive about making my thoughts public. But no matter, it’s all about deeper understanding and this is a great way to experience both sides of […]

Its now 3 days after the PV, it feels like months… Am really tired and haven’t managed much today except loaf on the sofa. The PV was great, really busy and I really enjoyed chatting to people about my work. […]
