I couldn’t sleep last night, didn’t go to bed until 2 and I’ve been lying awake in bed for at least an hour this morning. I’ve been thinking about what to do next. My solo show in Mersey Bio went […]

The feedback I’ve had been good from the show but I guess people aren’t going to say they didn’t like it. Alison said that she’s good feeback too though which is good. I’ve got this feeling that i need to […]

I was pleased to hear that 700is Reindeerland is showing one of my video stills as part of their experimental video-art festival. I plan to go to Iceland in the future to make some work, it looks a really inspirational […]

19th March 2010 Finally, we are allowed into the building. The police still don’t know whether they will find out who set the fire and seem resigned to never knowing. The building has been handed over to the builders to […]

I have been mostly taken up with reading for, and planning, essays… I’m particularly excited about my current work on Cornelia Parker’s ‘Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View’. It’s been interesting to think about it in terms of the modernist […]

Have droppped Toys off at the Herbert in Coventry for the Open , to test the waters. We’ll see, there was a huge queue of people dropping pieces off. Always feels a bit odd carrying a single piece of work […]

We visited Barcelona for a school art trip last weekend, which enabled me to explore my observational creativity and to see Picasso’s and Dali’s work in the flesh. The adventure which one experiences when roaming around the Picasso museum is […]

The larger canvases are prepped and I have started to paint, such a relief, emotionally and physically. An interesting thing occurred this week and reminded me that this has happened before. I was looking at a sequential sketch book I […]

Today I’m determined to finish the article I started for Nottingham Visual Arts on Sunday’s 3 Events to Test Opinions in Lincoln but I’m struggling! I want my article to be witty and informed, but instead its sounding rambly and […]

WEDNESDAY 17TH MARCH Today I worked with the older class (primaries 4-7) on a slightly more challenging activity. I set them the task of creating life size mock-ups out of cardboard of simplified representational shapes for the structures, which will […]

I sit here typing while I project the blog in front of me, it feels like a dual action. I also sit with my back to the projected artwork; both pieces can’t be viewed at once. This could potentially be […]

Just packed up a stack of issues of The Flaneur to mail to overseas readers. The postage is eye-watering. You would think a boffin would invent some sort of computerised system that would let you send information in a tap […]

Wednesday, 17 March 2010 Tonight we are watching “Gypsy”. I am impatiently for the lead to grow up and get into a sparkly dress. At the moment she is the front end of cow. Recent search engine misses are listed […]

Helsing’s preparations to take on the vampire involve detailed delegation and the sharing of tokens. Garlic flowers for the ladies, crucifixes for the men, and for himself a wafer in an envelope. I have also been preparing, preparing for my […]

I had a chance conversation with Mary, from Manchester University. I told her I had a studio at Cow Lane and her eyes lit up. She said she always looks out for Cow Lane when she drives past, as it […]

I think I must be the biggest put-er off-er alive and the best vehicle for putting off work is this damn blog. So here I am with an update, when what I should be doing is working out a fiercely […]

The Pantograph I am absolutely loving doing my enlargment using the pantograph. The first day and a half was a bit frustrating as it takes a while to set everything up and get the armature sorted, but I started putting […]

Still no success in finding a model for life classes in the Medical School….. in fact, I’ve had no success in contacting people who might be able to tell me where to find said life model. If any of those […]
