I have worked this weekend mostly on re-viewing, re-working, re-painting, and re- gilding. This is a tricky time for me, will the panel look as I have it in my head after all the processes have gone through, and sometimes […]
Getting quite excited now about the Exeter show. It will be interesting to see how that huge warehouse is transformed.
I haven’t seen an English newspaper for two months, since the 7th of June in fact. I don’t expect to see another until mid-September. I get the gist of what’s going on in the world through the BBC news page […]

In the afternoon we had a session discussion about the next screen. Its all running behind schedule – but now we get to see what does and doesn’t work with the screen. I like the volumetric part of the screen […]
Oops – ‘Exeter show’ is rather cryptic I realise. In response to Susan’s comment the show is called Polytek and I’ve posted it on Interface. It is at Water Lane, Exeter EX2 8BZ and the opening is on 29 August […]
I talked to Jeff Mann today in regards to the screens we are building with Gordon Brand. Jeff is based in Berlin. He is an artist who developed a lot of work around machines, society, technology – more sculptural machines. […]
