It snowed and snowed and snowed. Everyone was off work and the whole street was out building snowy things in other people’s gardens. The car wasn’t used for absolutely ages and every journey was an adventure. Major day walks to […]

The Unicorn It is nearly time to quit my lodgings, to leave behind Miss Brown and her nocturnal manouvers, the portuguese men (and women) o’ war, and the man who sings opera in the street. The sun is gently warming […]

Friday, 23 April 2010Communications from Whitstable have revealed exciting new developments. Tonight’s film “Dr No” dynamic with it’s beautiful (iPod stolen) opening credits reflects my mood perfectly. Admittedly I have had a drink. Sue has sent me a detailed email […]

Working at home today casting washing powder. Nice to be making something. I just wanted to mention that I have been noticing during this residency how much thought all our visitors have put in to looking at and talking about […]

Take a trip to the stars I have been getting on with some new work, which is based on a sign I saw in Bristol for the Planetarium. It was a simple piece of signage that reads, ‘Take a trip […]

ASAD 2010 is just around the corner, the build up to the show is just beginning, work is starting to be created for that shinning light at the end of the tunnel. This blog will focus on the journey of […]

Things are still going by with little happening at the moment, they do seem to be doing so rather fast though; this is the last full week before we start putting up the show which is very scary! I had […]

Metaphor. Someone said yesterday that if you can find a metaphor for a problem, and look at the situation from that point of view, you’re half-way to solving it. I like that. Another friend has a theory that good art […]

This image relates to physical space…an underlying expression of emotion. It offers the viewer a freedom of response that may have many levels of meaning. I am working on a series of prints that relate to physical space…the prints are […]

Second Skin at the SCVA Well it was a successful evening at the Sainsbury Centre’s Late Shift last Wednesday night where Nadja debuted a project titled ‘Second Skin.’ We invited guests to participate as models to create an interactive artistic […]

I was pleased to be able to find some help in the studio on Thursday to make a body cast of myself. The charity shop swimming costume was a tad unflattering, but then I think I would have felt vulnerable […]

I popped inot the studio today to pick up work and it was a great chance to see Dan’s work without people around, especially after he had given a detailed account of his thought process. The show charts his journey […]

I am currently breathing one huge sigh of relief. Both birthday parties, the Aquaphonics pool event, and the notorious April 20th gig, are all done. The pool event, delayed by a week and preceded by the impromptu car park gig, […]

Right, final week before the assessment, putting final touches to research folio and almost finished editing video. I’m not really sure how I’m feeling about either. The new work is so… new and the research folio is so… academic. It […]

and I finally realised that I had melted into a shadow in your life and you had fallen into a footnote in mine. Everything you said now only related to something I had done. And to you, everything I did […]

The exhibition is now down & stored for a while. In reflecting on the work made there were themes & links which emerged. When viewed chronologically the early images were closely related to the gardening theme. We often found ourselves […]

It’s going to be busy at Harrington Mills in a couple of weeks time. There are a few furniture manufacturers in the complex and they will be show-casing their collections. http://www.longeatonguild.co.uk/Visitor-Information-2 The equivalent of our open studios…

My artistic practice explores a range of themes closely related to identity: personal, social and national. In a recent body of work I have been exploring the complexities and defining qualities of people living in Britain. You may call it […]

Today I aim to get lots done, rather than my usual Sundays where I spend the mornings at a car boot sale and the afternoons lazing about. At the moment I’m working on possible beginning and end pieces of my […]
