German graves, French soil. Above a precipice, staring at germany through the haze, a border collie befirends me wildly while her owner does an impression of a cow, illustrating her question. Descend through Orbey and alpine flowers, kill the heart […]

In this heat the Rhine flows the wrong way. I burn precious clothes in a tumble dryer and run out at noon, crossing little streams and out through the suburbs. I watch a Crane sweep the sky from the deep […]

Flat heat here, dead breeze. A frenchman asks me where Im going “Germany” I say in french. He grunts a bit and smiles, just points east. I follow his finger to Neuf Brisach. A conceptual military fortification built by Louis […]

Across the Rhine, the border, no borders anymore, just McDonalds and Coca Cola. I climb through Vineyards in the heights above Oppfingen and lose myself in its veins. Wine runs everywhere down the hils and Germany is not pushed to […]

For the first time in ten years I swam in a swimming pool. A strange urge I confess. I saw a fork of ligtening and immediately remembered every fork of lightening I have ever seen, for they are very few. […]

I am tired of living with the insect kingdom. They are too efficient at eating blood, too omnipresent. One very nice shortbread jam cake thing, and a dutchman called Jacob who span a good line in anecdotes and spent several […]

When people visit your studio, and make comments such as “Oh, it must be so nice to be an artist”,I just wish that they could inhabit my shoes, on a week such as this one has been!I have succumbed to […]

So, the dissertation has begun! I have chosen a subject that I am very passionate about, fire. Today I have been reading about the wily Prometheus and it got me thinking… As artists, there is an undeniable force in our […]

I am still researching my ideas for three-dimensional forms using wax and paper at present, but have started to let the shapes grow in my hand more organically. I like aspects of these forms in wax, but they are too […]

“The Strength of Art” Seminar I woke up early, but not as stressed as i was expecting to be. Today was the “Strength of Art” seminar for the Ars Hame at the Art Museum where i was presenting a paper. […]

worked out eventually that if I am thinking about making a 3D artwrok it kind of needs to be thought of that way from the beginning.. not try too hard to turn a 2D idea into 3D. That’s why, I […]
