Rules My first post! I should probably start by explaining a bit more of what I’m up to. A friend recently asked if I painted for myself or for others. It was a tough one. Whilst I do sometimes paint […]
Questions. I do have some questions about this project. Perhaps you do too? You may be wondering why 99? Simple – that’s how many I got out of the sheet of ply, (not just any old ply – 18mm birch […]
Kim in Corporation Street. A not too sentimental starter of my dog under a fishing umbrella in the garden of where I grew up. I could probably do a whole series just from photos of Kim, but that could also […]
It’s funny how old things can feel once they are done. The Gifts is still on for another three weeks, is still being seen anew by thousands of people every week, and yet for me, four hours away, it feels […]

7.20 am Saturday Morning: Gutting! So, I decided to go into the foundry today to continue with some work I’d been doing before I started doing my enlargement at Marcello and Roberta’s studio. Given it was only half a day […]
The Arts Council report is finished – yeh! The last few lines typed up between listening to three reading homeworks and helping my son produce a three course meal for his scout chef badge – (don’t tell anyone but I […]
Well the exhibition for my door series is approaching. So my son came with his big camera and did the quality photography that these canvases needed. These paintings are to be hung in a block according to the rainbow spectrum […]
Have spent the past couple of days feeling unsure about my work which doesn’t feel good but also enables me to reflect on what I am doing at a different level and make push myself that bit further. So even […]

Looking through my photography and thinking about what to include in my degree show, any comments on the images included greatfully received. This is the problem with taking loads of images I suppose.

We’re heading towards April at an alarming pace! It’s over a month since I completed my self-directed project and final presentation, and, like others in a similar position I’m wondering if this sense of freedom is real. I have plenty […]
I am thinking of entering this drawing of my grand-daughter for the ‘Threadneedle Prize’. What do you think?
I feel back to square 1 after a year of thinking and working. The real issue is that I am bored, I don’t have the drive to do the same stuff because i don’t have prospect to sell it, and […]
An eventful week. The big cast has now been transferred to the exhibition space at St Thomas’ Church, Philadelphia, Sheffield. Only a few bits broke. The scaffolding was a nightmare to put up, it just would not sit straight. Eventually, […]

Expo Leeds 25-28.09.09 Sunday The two highlights were: Christina Kubisch’s ‘Electrical Walk’, and Paul Rooney’s ‘Thin Air: The Psycho-Vocalic Discoveries of Alan Smithson’. I’ve ‘done’ Kubisch’s walk before, in Birmingham, so this time it was easier to focus the walk […]
AIR Open Dialogues presentation 09.10.09 I took part in a panel discussion on the theme ‘Points of Departure’. The other panellists were Dot Howard and Samantha Epps. I was discussing the re-definition of practice after a period of collaboration. Here […]
We had a student text seminar yesterday where we had to bring books that have influenced us and read short texts from them, discuss why and how they were of influence. I found this really difficult, not sure why as […]
So far I am not too happy with March. The one great thing is that I have been commissioned for my first article for a-n. Giving advice for new graduates about ‘ how to become part of something.’ This exhilarates […]
