Last week I felt compelled to do something I do about once every 10 years or so I made a self portrait. There is an idea rumbling on in my sketch book to do with fragmentation and self image and […]

Something unusual has happened to me. I don’t want to do anything, and more significantly I DON’T CARE that I don’t want to do anything. Partner says it’s like I’ve returned from New York a different person. Even more strange, […]

ps. in complete contradiction to what I’ve just written (of course – everything is always uncertain, even when I feel quite definite).. if you want a copy of the artist book send me your address – I’ll send one free […]

With 36 days until the preview of my forthcoming exhibition, this provides a useful period of reflection to get my teeth into exactly where my latest body of work originates from and perhaps, where it is likely to head next… […]

So it’s deadline day. Things have been running quite smoothly so far (although I don’t think having to move house this week has helped with my already high stress levels) and we have 3 hours left. I have my work […]

What is becoming more and more apparent as I write this blog is how difficult it is to talk about my work, my practice – whatever that might be. It is difficult to convey to others what I’m trying to […]

Tomorrow we have the first meeting of the Forth Valley Open Studios in Stirling. This will test the water to see how much demand there is for artists in this area to form a collective/group to open studios to the […]

I started on the Creative Business Development course in September at MMU and it has helped me realise what goals I have for the future. I have been searching for artist residencies over the last few months as I feel […]

Reflections and Thoughts… Be aware of the sonic limitations of spaces. Consider audio from two pieces competing with one another and one becoming the dominant sound within a space. Regard how one section of speech can come to dominate and […]

The school Trip. My big school project, finds me on a school trip to visit one of my previous school garden projects, and then onto another location to see how public space is layed out, how the landscape designers have […]

since standing in the mall not performing i have been scanning the photos i took for the skulpturen park project. both films came back from processing in the USofA, and i was v.happy with the results-the colour of the old […]
