This is another blog I failed to let you know: the project was a wonderful success. I need to get into the habit of reporting my success as well as the preceding struggles and workload.. Please see my website for […]
Not really much work today, once again catalogue work. Seems to be pretty close to completion though. I’m having to clear all my work out of the studios, I’ve only got left my most recent work. I really need to […]
Oddly, I stood around in the studio today, contemplating the fact that I think four of the larger canvases may be finished. It has taken me a little by surprise. The forward motion has stilled to idling, while I look, […]

2 days left! All a bit exhausted and emotional… Took my mother and son to the airport today, and when I got back to the flat this evening it seemed so wrong that they won’t be back. I’ve been terribly […]

Saturday, 24 April 2010 Today I have learned that carrying boxes up several flights of stairs is perhaps the most exhausting activity known to man or beast. Unfortunately I had no beast to assist me. My travails were further compounded […]
Sunday, 25 April 2010 How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads, to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams. Our first night in The Old Unicorn was mercifully […]
Taking down ‘The Gifts’ the other week was disoncertingly swift and easy (granted there were six of us..Benoit thankfully returned and the apprentices were on board, very focused). After the long haul of making the work and the labour intensive […]
Growing up I spent alot of time at my Aunts and Uncles. I’d climb into their campervan when they were trying to leave our house and sometimes it worked and they’d take me with them. I have many fond memories […]
It’s funny how an unpronouncable volcano has managed to affect everyone. Tuesday the 20th of April saw the opening of Ouvrage a collaborative project exhibiting at BIAD School of Art. Except there was someone missing! – Francoise Dupre, the artist […]
APT is gaining momentum, although I was disappointed that we didn’t get the funding we requested from ACE. However, I’ve just had a really constructive conversation with Sara Trentham in the Yorkshire office, and she has encouraged me to make […]

Back again. I’ve just sent a second draft of my research paper off for feedback. Let’s see what comes back. It is now much more analytical than in its first incarnation. One good thing about deferring till next year is […]
I think I’ve finally found the solution.. I have to draw like I mean it, like every ounce of my being is in each drawing. When I am sloppy I create things I hate, things which I am not proud […]
Books are expensive here in Sweden, especially imported one. Today two books arrived that I ordered online (I try to support local bookshops but at the moment my finances can’t support my moral high-ground). The parcel has three labels on […]
Today I came across this video by Sid Volter. Its called Seamless and I love it for the fact that it overlays a narrative about loss of contact with the real world over google mapping footage: the ultimate device for […]
I must learn to say no – problem is so many interesting projects in work that I really want to be involved with (pedal powered film screenings, touched talks, seminars and I’m helping co-ordinate a visit/lecture/series of workshops by Bruce […]
