I’ve just heard about a series of critical discussions about residencies with East Street Arts in Leeds; ‘Weds@105 – residencies’ I’ve had email contact and will definitely be making sure I represent the voice of artist-parents at these discussions. Let […]

my session with the art class on making their own emotional map of the area went very well. Originally I’d stipulated that they have to map the local town the school was in, but most children in the class did […]

We’re now just over half way through the SSC block, and it’s difficult to remember a time when I wasn’t commuting weekly to the Medical School. The journey is judged nicely – no need to get up too early; feed […]

Dear Sandra, I have just finished reading your letter for the third time, and I would be lying if I told you that it did not upset me. I know we have had our problems in the past, but as […]

Work with schools has completely taken over for the next few weeks (not to mention my own children’s schedules) and it will be a flat out race of sports days, meetings and displays until the end of term. I’m also […]

I was invited by the University of the Arts London alumni association to go to my old college, Central St Martin’s, yesterday to make drawings for a project they’re doing called ‘Mapping the Move’. The college will be moving to […]

I guess now that I’m back at school full time I will be posting here a little less frequently. Still I have lots of gallery research bubbling away behind the scenes… I can’t wait to read this blog in 2 […]

Thanks David, Abbi and Rob for your comments. Partner is back at work now, 6 weeks since falling ill. Still needs an afternoon nap, but since she works school hours, that’s possible. Amid the flurry of urgent work callouts I […]

I was just rereading Rob Turners wonderful post about rejection letters www.a-n.co.uk/p/570784 (see post no 28) I want to submit this one for the prize of ‘rejection letter most likely to be received with cheers’ ‘Thank you for your submission […]

I’ve just got back from the celebrates of the degree show. I went to view the exhibtition earlier this evening but couldn’t stay long as my work is in an exhibition as well and the p.v was tonight, but I […]

A preview at the After School Club. I have 21 children (some double sided) cut outs made from 18mm plywood. I took a few into the after school club to see what they looked like and where we might put […]

Not sure where the time has gone. Got quite a shock when I realised the date of my last post. I really have been burying myself in my work. It’s even been a week now since my deadline and I […]

I’ve been wrestling a little with the question of the body and interactivity over the past few days. It seems that the classic case of interactivity in art practice using new technology encourages the viewer outside of their body to […]

She was used to confined spaces but when in open air could not help but walk in to walls and trip over herself and her capabilities. She spent a lot of time clotted in bruised corners making work in the […]

(continued from previous post) Best plan I decided was to stick with what I was comfortable with – paint a new one. So I took myself down to the painting workshop, while the others carried on with the wall re-build, […]

(please read ⌗29 and ⌗30 first, this is a continuation) The rest of the week picked up. My friend got her work on the wall the next day – the batons worked and it looked amazing. We were both really […]

4 letters are off to the lawyers today and the reason why the case is with us from morn til night. It is the topic of conversation at breakfast and dinner and before we go to bed. Nothing is posted […]

So here’s some of the ‘Ideas for the artwork’ section of my proposal: ‘Having worked extensively with combining both objects and texts to communicate individual narratives within installation contexts (see The Loom: from Text to Textile (2005), Crafting Space (2008) […]
