Post #200! Yikes. Back from Yorkshire for a day and just catching up on cataloguing/admin/invoicing and general life. Someone drove into the back of my car on Saturday night so I have a very sore neck and have been pretty […]
In reality, being represented by a gallery is not for the many. Hearing lots of curators/collectors talk at the symposium at A Foundation, which was part of The Economy of the Gift exhibition/art fair, was like being in a different […]
I just heard the fantastic news that my work has been shortlisted for this year’s John Moore’s Contemporary Painting prize. I’m here, on my own in a field in France, it’s absolutely chucking it down with rain, and I feel […]

So, some dance students got in touch – from Northern School of contemporary dance across the road from union 105. They have to do a collaborative project and might be interested in working with me. The deadline is very soon […]
So, the MAPPING event. I have been looking into maps which has been very iteresting. Chapeltown as an area isn’t actually recognised by the Ordnance Survey. The Chapeltown Development Trust commissioned Leeds City Council to make a map of the […]

Back from hospital after my operation. Was lucky to have a room to myself and free TV. Don’t know what I did to deserve it but anyhow it meant I watched too much TV, although by the last day I’d […]
So, I was aware of different landscapes within the city. Yesterday I opened the sketch book where I’d kept the leaves and photographed them. I had also kept a few small stones from Circus Maximus, the area where chariot racing […]
