Crazy Busy – loving it – I finished the Sheffield artwork, just have to get there tomorrow and set it up, have added a 3D element so it may take a few hours to set up now but I’m sure […]

How are field recordings thought of within a gallery environment as stand alone works? How would field recordings be received when many artist performances that I’ve experienced have been solely synthesized sound works? How would the cultural or historical contexts […]

Are Field Recordings My Friend or My Foe? As the title of this blog suggests, I have a big question on my mind. I have traveled from video to sound, to installation and back to video and now I’m again […]

Thursday, 28 January 2010 Vampyres I am reading Christopher Frayling’s “Vampyres” it has temporarily replaced the biography of Laurel and Hardy as I felt I was becoming sidetracked. Frayling’s book, though far more erudite and reasoned, follows remarkably closely the […]

The week started well. I found some direction with my work and now feel as if I know where I am going. It was good to take a step back and read through my blog and my sketchbooks to find […]

Core Gallery is most definitely go! A surge of momentum from everyone is giddying and delightful! I have been sending out little jobs for people – to research and sort and they are busily finding the answers. The obstacles that […]

Just about to set off on the journey to South End On Sea. I’ve still got books to cut on the way, nearly 50 done now, but I want a few spare just incase there’s a problem.

1st chemo yesterday and I’m feeling fine. I can’t quite believe it but there we are. I’ve been up in the office cum studio and working on some small pieces. I never know what titles to give, if at all, […]

3 days to go before I depart I am half way through my packing and keep looking at all the other stuff that still needs to go into my suitcase. Today I am hoping to borrow an Edi role, which […]

I continue to play with variations of grids, overlapping geometric shapes to create a sense of peering through. Within the constructed layers, lies a highly personal, subtle description of emotion.

We live in a multiple-layer world. The layers interweave each other. We are not living in a horizontal/vertical space. We are living in a meaningful place which we name and signify it. We organize the universe in our cultural and […]

I’m leaving in the morning So, after 3 months of preparation, and the feeling that life has been on hold for a while, I’m leaving tomorrow morning for italy. I still feel like my head is full of admin and […]

Discovering Malawi. This has turned out to be the title for my project with the Primary School Children. We made models of a school in Malawi which was ambitious and a challenge for many of them. The rewards for perseveranceare […]

…a few conversations over the last couple of days have made me consider the place of writing and criticism within my practice… While blogging has spurred me to ‘produce’ things/ images for presentation every day, I’ve been increasingly feeling the […]

Forth Valley Open Studios Here’s a sign of the times reflecting on how work has changed: I was talking on the phone to a printer about quotes for our brochure and she immediateley asked for our web-site . Had to […]

Searching for clues I am looking for the Deeds Office on Plein Street. There’s a huge imposing building that looks official, so I go in through the rotating doors and the security check and ask if I’m in the right […]

Baking in Cape Town Our culture has survived 26 days at sea, two weeks in a fridge in Cape Town, and a power cut. It was definitely high time to let it express itself in some loaves. At the weekend […]

Stellenbosch We visit Stellenbosch to see the University gallery, where we’ll be showing our work in March. It’s an amazing venue, in an old church with a beautiful vaulted ceiling and old chandeliers. There’s great potential in such a big […]
