Call for Submissions! This is for students/tutors past and present of Manchester School of Art….I am looking for people to write a few words or lines about the soon to be demolished Chatham Undercroft Building at Manchester School of Art, […]
I’m back to drawing and making which feels like the best thing since sliced bread and I can officially say that I am finished with the catalogue (fingers crossed). I’m unsure of my latest piece, but I do know that […]
Most weeks I have enquiries about spaces but not all callers are suitable for HMS. Take someone who called yesterday. He photographs machines. I explained we were full but that the spaces were for non commercial artists with an emphasis […]
Its taken a while but Ive got there. The public statement needn’t be over the top, it should be appropriate. To attribute a public statement to an apology it has to fit, be sincere. So I began to think sentimentally, […]
THE HOUSE AND OTHER CUISINES I was given a time and a placeI was told to arrive at the time of seven thirty. When I did turn up no one was there – I meandered for a while and past […]
It has took me this long to recover and catch up in work. The Open Day at the Butterfly Park was fantastic, I can’t thank all my friends enough for helping out. So many late nights really did pay off […]
Wednesday, 28 April 2010 Lost Souls Here follows yet another list of people who were clearly looking for something else when they washed up on my blog. It is perhaps not suprising that my use of the title “Blue Film” […]
Darkness surrounds me. I am beset on all sides by demons. Apart from this, work is going well. “Meleager’s Garland” opens soon in Lincoln, though I feel due largely to a feeling of lethargic ennui I may not make the […]
Tuesday, 4 May 2010 Keyser Söze My companion and I are on a train bound for London. We are heading to the book launch of our dear friend Paul Becker. My companion describes him as a “black bear” and has […]
Just recently I designed a poster that I stuck up around the school I work in. While browsing the opportunities section on the a-n website, I noticed a call for artists to contribute to a collaborative project. This, I thought, […]
I realised yesterday that I am shattered. This week is for writing the YSP book (only about 2,500 words – so not as horrendous as it sounds!) and cataloguing. I am glad to be able to work with tea and […]
FUNDRAISING WORKSHOP with Anthony Bennett and Mark Waugh of A Foundation. [These are some nuggets of wisdom received during the above session. More helpful, personally, was the one-to-one session I had with Anthony, but that’s very specific to me, so […]
The After School Club want a phase two to their building make over. I think it will have to become slightly environmental! They have already got the money! I watched Avitar the other day for the first time. Its marvelous, […]
Amazing day on Sunday, too busy to blog but here’s some things to look at until I can. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/loca… http://www.flickr.com/photos/30661871@N03/sets/721…
I’ve been rushed off my feet for the last week or two and I haven’t had any time to blog. I’ve been printing away in college, nothing is finished yet but I think I’ll have some interesting work for the […]
The finish line is close but I don’t feel it. I don’t sprint towards it. I look back every second. It has been so fast. Yet so slow.
I’ve just been sorting out and looking at my documentation for the past university year. I find it unbeliveable that I could have made things and then almost forgotten about them.
Blog posts seem a bit sporadic here, so there is lots to talk about. Lincoln Art Programme went to Bristol earlier in the month to visit some people in the city. We received a NAN bursary which was originally destined […]
Well I have exactly two weeks to complete my work ready for the hand in. I have completed my fabric samples and hope to present them as an installation piece. Here are some of my images, where I have just […]
This guide takes artists through the different stages of finding and creating opportunities to work with young people in a range of settings. It asks: How are artists recruited? What is the best practice? What do young people want from such collaboration? What do artists need from teachers?
