Snow, snow and more snow. I am tidying up my office which now has to double up as a studio since I have given up my external studio for the time being.

Well the Christmas break over, which was nice and relaxing and ready to ease back into uni next week. Beyond some writing assignments, reading, old vhs I finally edited a video that has been taking months and given me wrist […]

This year has started quite intensely, with a project at the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool, which apart from a day there on Wednesday, is done. http://www.grundyartgallery.com/programme/forthcom… I spent last week being snowed in at home for a day, then […]

New to blogging. Will anyone read this? please click and let me know if you do, just write ‘yes, i hear you, sister’, or something. Thinking this week about how my recent installation was recieved at St Thomas’ Church, Sheffield, […]

The final stretch of the course is upon us and I have a sneaky feeling time is going to speed up from now until August and the final show. I am still wrapped up in experimental mode and resisting the […]

There was a brilliant turn-out to the private view of Fabricate. Loads of people made their way through the snow to Louise’s exhibition opening and joined us for mulled drinks. (In fact so many came along that we had to […]

I took an impromptu trip to London at the start of the week (when I should have been writing my dissertation). While I was there I went on one of my “intense gallery tours” and saw the following: I shake […]
