Thinking in words or language and thinking through making? Have you noticed how Andrew Bryant drops these little incedurary devices into peoples blogs? (Not a critisism Andrew, an observation) made me think hard. But can I just say: I thought […]

I stopped blogging for a while to concentrate on preparations for the show. Now there’s a little over 2 weeks to go and things are really busy. Here’s a brief update. All attempts at public funding have failed due to […]

I sometimes try to write using things that aren’t words, especially utensils. I think it’s because like words, utensils already have a purpose – they always already point at some function beyond their physical edges. This questionably photoshopped arrangement of […]

Long day yesterday in Saint-Omer. Afternoon meeting, a bit of shopping, then the opening of Resider/Reside (http://www.dadonline.eu/resider_reside.php) with work by Pierre-Yves Brest and Sharon Haward. Afterwards, there was a meal to which everyone involved contributed a dish. We rounded off […]

CARRIE – Visual and historical collage has never been more prevalent within all realms of contemporary existence. A fairly obvious observation, but one that has caught the attention of many in our merry band of artists in the GSA Mutual. […]

Yesterday i performed my line drawing for the first time. I was anxious about this because it is usually quite a private activity in the studio, that only those who have a deep understanding of my practice have witnessed. At […]

Saw a really interesting exhibition yesterday in Nordico (the museum for Linz’s stuff). Actually the exhibition wasn’t great, but there were some good facts and figures around the place ranging from the city’s Nazi past to how they got capital […]

In the interest of balance and truth I feel obliged to report that today I did ‘one of my routines’ as they are fondly known in our house. ‘I can’t cope, I do everything in this house, I never get […]

This will be a full on making experience. Finally the installation of this mosaic arrives, my car is a mobile tool box and packed to the gunnels. The contractors have built me a scafolded canopy 6x6m to work under if […]

Fresh starts…I’m working on a new Crow! A few weeks ago I got my Arts Council England short and skinny envelope, not the big fat number I had been waiting for. For one fraction of a second it was a […]

These are some images from a project I am currently working on: culminating in a visual exhibition, the work has taken on elements of research and exploration into architectural space and function. The subject is a church, in which the […]

Here I wanted to play around with the notion of how something can be displayed, using visual language and concept in order to re-visualise something, work something out. Each of these nine drawings is taken either from a documentary photograph […]

Phew! Busy playing catch-up which has meant a few late evenings and meetings. October looks like being a mega busy month with a Big Draw and the Open Studios. I’ve never been involved in the Big Draw but this one, […]

I’ve finished a piece, I finished a piece, I’ve actually finished it! And now I can’t stop making, and thinking and wanting to make stuff. ‘Bedtime Stories’ is a collection of stains, some very faint and really quite beautiful, some […]

Max de Winter sent you a message of Facebook “Where do I know you from?” Dear Max, Sorry you don’t know me. I just liked your name and it is the same as the character in Daphne du Maurier’s book […]

Tons of stuff going on. The curator of Mother/Mother, jennifer wroblewski, has put me in touch with two fascinating women – Sharon Thomas is an artist based in Scotland and also taking part in the show. myrel chernick is a […]

My companion has become obsessed with blood sucking creatures, sending me many interesting and disturbing emails. Here is the first. “Most common is the European flea (Pulex irritans), which prefers a human host. Dr. Hubbard recommends lumber camps, flophouses and […]

It’s been awhile since wrote in this blog, Been busy working and family things… Now my son back in school and my daughter started college Friday I can get back to doing work. Met up with a good friend yesterday […]

Well, i attended my first northern carboot this morning, and certainly didnt allow myself enough time. The sellers filled the race course fields and i couldnt believe what was on offer – i could have spent the day there. I […]
