A record of my first post-graduation residency at the Nexus Art Cafe in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Nexus is in the basement of the Methodist Central Hall, and I plan to work with the whole building and the […]
Day six A thinking day, I spent the morning following different leads, the Second Life attempt failed after several attempts to download the new version. One of my ‘avatars’ waits patiently in Help Island, her hair and skirt blowing in […]
I went to the zoo on Friday andmy favourite creatures were the sealions. They had a ‘training session’ where Clare their keeper delivered a speach with the monotony of an air stewardess explaining that the sealions could hold up each […]
This week surfers in Cornwall found a dead Thresher shark. In 2007 a trawler fisherman caught a 16ft thresher shark off the coast off Land’s End, Cornwall.
A bit of quick news about the project and my practice; first of all, I feel that I have been, in the past month , working harder than ever on getting out there. I have attended one to one surgeries […]
I start my residency tomorrow. I’m going to be working there two days a week, with two and a half in my paid job and half a day running an art workshop. I’ve been so excited about the residency and […]
Tuesday – My last day in Finland We turned a different way out of the road this time, and Edwina took me to the side of Riihimaki that i had not been to yet; i am amazed how far this […]
Cosmo goes to Town. The town…..Whitstable. A town where the high street is so narrow a bus going one way and a car going the other can sometimes cause a bit of a cufufle. The vast majority of the shops […]
I have been thinking about this blog. Truly thinking. As in most things in my life I fall into them almost by default; this blog being no exception. I begun it stung into irritation by the gloss [as I perceived […]
Day 5 Tired, worked too long yesterday. Interviewed a few more gallery visitors over cups of tea and coffee (must get some decent china and possibly a few biscuits wouldn’t go amiss) and scripted the dialogue using assigned voices. The […]
I know it’s a sewing thing, but today I bought a tape measure for my pencil case. My tool of choice for the next few knitting weeks. Whilst I was in the Fabric shop, I couldn’t help drifting off into […]
All the knitting groups that I have dropped in on in the last few weeks have been wonderful. Spangly and warm. Supportive energy, full of wit and humourous goading. But in, clack clack, clack clack, an anecdote, clack clack, thrust, […]
Had a great day yesterday, went up to Southport to have a meeting Ranger of the coastline, to see if I create an Installation on one of there beaches. they said YES which is great as I will not be […]
Well time for an update. Some very interesting and encouraging news since my last posting. The group met with the mayor of Hornell on Thursday and it appears as though the town, and certainly the mayor himself, are all for […]
With so many shows on this month, I have barely had time to breather let alone evaluate what has been going on around me. My show at g39, Cardiff has had many visitors and next weekend it sadly comes down. […]

Hi Annabel, I have searched everywhere for details of the “Grotto” that you describe. The only one I can fin is mentioned on an “enjoyengland” page and that grotto is in Margate. The page also has a text link to […]
The grumpy bull has been divided up into sections, rather like those charts of best meats you get in the butchers! Waste moulds have been made and taken to the workshops of Richard Clarke – where upon a fibreglass replica […]
MA started last Thursday, I got the train instead of driving which was soooo much easier. Think the M62/M6 in rush hour would have been a nightmare. Instead I had an hour an a half of relaxing – bought a […]
Have trawled the Internet, yet again, and ordered some different kinds of wax to experiment mixing to try to get a wax which melts enough to be moulded by hand but is a little less inclined to wilt at room […]
