Unfortunately, on this occasion. Dear Rob, Thank you for your interest in our commission but: I am sorry to write with disappointing news, but we received a large volume of very high standard submissions, Whilst we were impressed with your […]
Sat through a symposium this week, 4 site and archive 2nd yr MA students giving talks about their practice and their projects. It was really interesting, not least because it gave me an insight into what I’ll need to do […]
Well – I am not 56 and a half anymore! Interesting thing about the internet of course is that out there in the ether I shall be 56 and a half for ever. Maybe I am on to something here…….digital […]
What’s new in the park? Not a lot, it’s been a while since I have paid a visit. However…in the background, lots of things have been happening. Emma Kemp has submitted her design for the trail, it sounds fantastic. An […]
Dialogue is imperative to my practice, I cannot make artwork alone in my studio like the archetypal image of the Artist. I make art that comes out of conversations and interactions with communities. I now realise that structured critical and […]

Shows and open studios It has been a fair while since I have written an entry, so it is with relief that I can finally hit ‘post’. Life has been busy, productive and, with autumn on its way, a little […]
I wasn’t going to post anything this weekend. It’s Easter and we’re too busy! Unfortunately, an overindulgence of chocolate, an extremely disrupted sleep and a pile of bed clothes to wash means I am house bound and sickly child sitting. […]
Did manage to get to the Helena Almeida show, although it has to be said at break neck speed as my babysitter got the time mixed up and came half an hour late. The show didn’t disappoint and you can […]
I finally discovered that my Tallit work had been torn from the exhibition wall – in front of the Arts Centre staff – by someone known to them for their challenging behaviour. It had been rescued and stored for me […]
One bad week followed by one great week. That’s the way it wants to be, but luckily enough that’s how it’s been. Thanks for the comments David, Carolyn. Carolyn, Photoshop has been an invaluable slave, assisting me in planning and […]
After spending three days in bed ill, you would think i’d feel rested. But no, not really. Especially as I have spent most of today having stress related anger and throwing things I am halfway through making around the house […]
As time moves on and my piece grows, the inevitable conversation comes up over and over – am I going to sell the individual portraits at the degree show? What a great idea I’ve had, I’ll make a killing, earn […]
(5th April 2010 continued) 15/03/10 Is there a way of incorporating sounds related to specific parts of / marks on carpet? Some documented sounds (movement within the room the carpet has come from, sounds of the house) mixed up with […]
Notes from my sketchbook: Trying to ‘write-up’ a month’s worth of ideas and experiments seems like a rather trite and pointless task (I still haven’t gotten the balance between spontaneous blogging and my need to have anything I write planned […]
Looking at the past serves to inform the future. Points of reflection come when things change providing frames of reference. The divisions, layers, cracks, joints and lines are symbols of change, ‘landmarks’ for evolution. We need those boundaries and boarders, […]
