Today I visited the camp with my friend Deev, a sculptor. I’ve been invited to put on an exhibition in our local town on the theme of Rivesaltes. Instead of a solo show, or something purely information-giving, I’ve decided to […]
The snow and ice have brought chaos to the roads, trains and cross-channel services. However, a general thaw today meant that I was able to go to the launch of Katie Paterson’s Streetlight Storm on Deal pier. It was a […]
I began making new, small, pieces from cardboard, having decided to simplify the forms and continue working with multiples. It also seemed to me that cardboard objects would be relatively easy to scale up and recreate in, perhaps, mild steel […]
A greater understanding of why people join lobbying groups, and how they operate has been gained from an online survey of AIR members. Thanks to everyone who made time to contribute. When asked about the organisations that they felt represented […]

As this is my first, experimental, attempt at blogging I will be briefly summarising another experimental undertaking. The transition from using cardboard to MDF for construction of a finalised work. The piece is formally based on theoretical physics expounded by […]
The Rain BBC iplayer briefly streamed via 3G to my iPhone. This magical gateway only opened for a couple of hours this morning and I spent the time catching up with that Saatchi spectacular about six lost artists trying to […]

Journey to boat and arrival on board We travelled by train to Antwerp, via Brussels. Katy read Maus on the train and was transported between times, other trains and travels across Europe, people fleeing for their lives or already captured […]
Life on board ship Early on Thursday morning, we finally embarked from Antwerp docks. It was snowing, and no horizon was visible as we stood on the bridge listening to the captain shouting readings – “20 starboard… 10 port” We […]
Remembering Billy Connelly: We did actually see a St. Bernard the other night, before the snow came. In comparison with its owner it came up inbetween waist and chest height. Looked more like a pony from a distance. We saw […]

‘It is with very deep regret that the Trustees announce that KUBE will close from 31st January 2010 and Abi Kremer’s exhibition, ‘Colour & Inspiration: Paintings 1979 – 2009′, will be the last in this building’ This is the email, […]
Some good news about the project, even though the SSCs haven’t actually started yet (so we don’t know if anyone will choose them): we have been asked to attend a conference in Truro. “CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN SURGERY, PATHOLOGY, THE HUMANITIES & […]
