Over the past few days I have been installing work to become part of The Textile Crafts 2010 exhibition! Everybody has been working hard to produce a wide variety of work for the show and I cannot wait to see […]
After a day in bed with food poisoning, I am going to have to struggle into the studio today to make up for lost time. And I’ve also missed most of the FuturEverything events which are all over Manchester this […]
On the 3rd of May I started a marathon of painting. The time and place is just right for it. I always feel like aggressive painting in the spring, especially here in England. The winter leaves me, leaves everyone and […]
When I started my study of printmaking at CCA early sept of 2009 I had the assumption that my long experience of drawing and draughtsmanship would be a fast vehicle for producing significant prints. Up to the day (12/5/10) however […]

Sue Campbell’s collage was full to bursting with pieces falling out of the envelope as I opened it & the glue still tacky. In contrast Jacs Collins’ work was economical, unmounted and held together with delicate stitching. I photographed back […]
PARALLEL WORLD I’ve been getting some more prints ready for framing today. At the same time, and for a different purpose, I’ve been reading with interest the publication The Urpflanze which is accompanying the exhibition of the same name at […]

First outing for new/old Super 8 cam on Fleetwood seafront tomorrow. Taking 35mm camera also – add to collection of archive photographs, possibly for display in a gallery context. Both sets of work will be empty, sparse in their content, […]
