got this in my email – hurrah! Hello Rachel Your work has been selected by Katy Deepwell (feminist art critic and Reader in Contemporary Art, Theory and Criticism at University of the Arts, London and editor of n.paradoxa: international feminist […]
Sometimes, the things that can really tire you out are the ones you least expect. Hence the recent silence – sorry ’bout that. And I don’t have long… once Saulius has finished his freelance work, we’re off to some forest […]
Continued from last post… Tom’s team did a performance that articulated the US outsider artist Henry Darger. One of the jurors suggested it had been done before (what hasn’t?) but Rafal had never performed anything before and he did the […]
30/07/09 We arrived in Tbilisi in the early hours and stayed in an amazing homestay called Irine’s Place – a friendly place run by a woman who never seems to sleep and has connections everywhere… Spent the day sightseeing around […]
Hello again, for my second post of the day! Not a long one though, as we have lots of dying/painting things red and washing and ironing to do in preparation for the grand finale tomorrow! Today, three lovely ladies kindly […]
14th July 09 Seathwaite Tarn Arrived at the reservoir after a walk up the sodden tracks from the road below gaining a first sight of the reservoir’s dam from down the valley. As we approached, the sound of overflow water […]
23rd July 09 Stony Tarn A long drive into Eskdale across changing landscapes of mixed woodland, open fell side, and near and distant crags brought us to the walk up to Stony Tarn. We walked past Eel Tarn, feeling relieved […]

Today I’ve sorted a table top and trestles for the incubator and also a dustbin (piles of wood shavings, scrunched up masking tape. and paper cuttings). The Incubator space in the basement of Exeter Phoenix. The desk faces a window […]
Finished putting up yesterday at about 6pm. The whole experience of hanging and organising the work was rather a rollercoaster of emotions. The 3 days seemed like one long blur of frantic drawing, climbing up and down ladders, a bit […]
Had some fun playing around with some images in monoprint. Remembered that my maternal grandmother was born and spent the first thiteen years of her life in China. Her home had a number of Chinese silk scrols hanging on the […]
The Live East closing event was a great success: all the artists had around 20 minutes each to present documentation and discuss their pieces, with questions and comments thrown in by the audience. Everyone said that they’d found the project […]
Always seem to post when I’m busy at work… good to have licquorice tea breaks to type I guess. Have been working on some line drawings that I’ll post up here at the weekend. Got my essay in – that’s […]
JULIET- It’s the night before the first opening. I stayed up until half five last night finishing off a couple of drawings to go in the show but am still miraculously wide-awake. Its quite a nice feeling, I think, when […]
