We are back in the driver’s seat again. It’s been important to have independant advice and Jon hasn’t found any gremlins or holes in our argumentts. But like most ordinary people we just can’t afford solicitors. The court system in […]
So, after having a scheduled chat with my tutor today I was opened up to the idea that my paintings are not in fact entirely finished and could do with some additions and tweaks. There were a few little niggles […]
Following the intensive two weeks I spent in Shetland in March, I arrived back in Brighton full of ideas and information and laden with reference material. I laid it all out, turning my studio into something resembling a knitwear resource, […]
I managed to gain some clearer vision among the heaps of possibilities. I am working on a series of photographs that against my comfort zone involve my entire body sans clothing. We will have to see how this will work […]
Travelling chaos I am a volcano victim! I cannot complain as much as many people, who may still be stranded in airports around the world, would be justified in doing, however I was unlucky in having my return flight to […]
It is late April 2010. I just noticed I forgot to update this blog and let you know that the exhibition went very well, and on the evening of the private view I had a good turn out, despite an […]
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, […]
here’s sight of work in progress
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 […]
Originally I was planning a large scale plinth installation with each item of lost property on an individual plinth. I wanted the items which have been handed in individualy and had their own separate lives before being lost to be […]
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 […]
