Yeah. So editing, right? It’s gotten to the stage that this is an increasing priority. After deliberately trying to stay open-ended about processes and ideas, my MA exhibition opens in just over two months and there is a limit to […]
I haven’t done much in preparation for the fellowship show this week. I’ve been working on some paintings about trees which incorporate patterns that are formed from looking at images of tree rings. I haven’t got very far with it, […]
If you are re-making someones work then it seems important to know that work inside out. However knowing Sophie Calle’s Suite Venitienne in not such a deep way seems sufficient. Why? Perhaps it is that by re-creating this piece for […]
Fantastic Barnaby, Feeling a Failure and Painting with Pants. What a weekend! as well as all the other usual weekend stuff with the kids it was the first of the revived Macclesfield Barnaby Festivals. There was so much going on […]
Heard back from Wolstenholme Gallery and I will be part of their Independent Biennial exhibition, great news. Looking forward to meeting them in the next couple of weeks to finalise exactly what will be viable. So excited by this, it’s […]

Tables gone innit sawn off at the point where the wood goes into the metal. We’ve a BBQ with parents, school govenors and the agency I am working for is sending some more senior staff I believe. The heat is […]
Yesterday i finally installed object for moving over #2 at Napton skate park. It was actually quite strange to do – as it was going into a skate park it sort of got lost as a piece of work, Also […]
I suspect I will return to the discussion covered in my previous post many times during the course of this blog. Its important for me that the arts do not yield too readily to the language of abstraction, while ignoring […]
This blog looks at the benefits and pitfalls of working in isolation. One significant aspect of this isolation is a rich and deepening understanding of art history. I’ll explore that relationship to my work, my practice and my efforts to […]
My newletter has arrived, that’s right people, with pictures, jazzy boxes, links and everything. My friend Tammasyn Gambell ( www.tammasyngambell.com ) has a studio in cockpit arts and she sent me hers a while ago which was gorgeous and smart […]
Tomoko Takahashi from July to September at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. That’s all the excuse I need to get down to that part of the world again. I suppose, as I am in the area, I could […]
I need to find a better phrase than ‘mental ill health’. In my previous post I discussed what it might mean to group together artworks created by persons with ‘mental health issues’ and how this might serve to give a […]
The journey that takes us to the exhibited artwork is often unseen by the audience, it is an area that I am becoming increasingly interested in, especially after a conversation with a friend about this blog. She told me that […]
