Call is complete or more accurately I believe it to be so. My companion is about to review the left hand side, I nervously await her verdict. We are separated at the moment by a distance of some miles. She […]
I have received a message, there is a full moon over Whitstable tonight and an unusually high tide. Here the wind blows stronger by the hour forcing the trees to an uncomfortable crouch. Forecasts are such that we may soon […]
CAGED! Disappointingly there have been no news reports of strange weather nor shipwrecks at Whitstable. All seems strangely calm in Ipswich too. In truth strangely is perhaps the wrong word to use in a Town whose newspaper headline this morning […]
The Easter holidays have begun, which means 3 weeks to our first assessment and still very little actual work to speak of. Essay was handed in yesterday, so that one’s behind me at least until my feedback session and so […]
I thought I’d be drawing madly after my essay was handed in but no I’m trying to organise my research folio that has to handed in end of April. However i’ve been side tracked by thinking about the use of […]

Drawing at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford again. Drawing statues are a great way of remembering what you have seen.
I showed my short video Panes in an installation at Uni the other day. The video is simply a long gaze out of a window.I don’t think I will put the video up on my blog because it’s not very […]

Have just heard that our book, “The Children of Craig-y-nos” is shortlisted for the annual book award for medical journalists. The winner will be announced at a special reception in London on April 27th. Still, even to get on the […]
We now have three students signed up for the first two blocks of the SSC – this doesn’t sound much, but it’s three times the maximum number for some projects, and represents a lot of work. For some reason, due […]
This was taken in and around 1987 on the way to Dovedale for the night. We would drive up in the brown Escort, sleep in the carpark and walk in the morning. With new camera in hand I took pictures […]
