Untitled blog post from "Getting Somewhere"
Hurrah – I’ve just burned the dinner again. This is a very good thing, because it means I was totally absorbed in thinking about art, and totally forgot that there was something in the oven. Totally burned to a cinder, […]
Untitled blog post from "A Walk With Cosmo."
On this question of artists explaining/conceptualising/justifing what they do by intelectual juggelery to others. I am able to see it from a slightly different position because I can use time, looking back 20 years or more at this issue. I […]

Some more images that I’m quite happy with… I did quite a lot of this type of thing back in college and hopefully it will resurface now in what I’m making… more on that soon… Also… my new portfolio is […]
Untitled blog post from "Stating/Showing"
A recent exhibition at Wakefield’s Westgate Studios puts some of my work in context with the interior and exterior environment. The exhibition falls under the name Artomata and consults the notion of artists in multiple disciplines working under the process […]
Untitled blog post from "Moving Out, of “the shed”"
I have been working on this panel off and on since March, and it is causing me such problems. Someone asked me, “how do you know when youre finished?”, and the answer is, when its as you internally visualise, sometimes […]
Untitled blog post from "Not down in the South of France"
I have been staying at the home of our friends who have been in France for a little over a year. Moving from the Isle of Man to the South of France has been an adventure which they have embraced […]
Untitled blog post from "‘Red’ – Teresa and Dominique Hodgson-Holt, ‘In Certain Places’"
Teresa here after another horrendous day, weather wise that is. We left home, Dominique without her purse (did she do that on purpose?) and the photographs; me without the tablecloth and with no money whatsoever, so at that point we […]
Untitled blog post from "Dead and dying flowers"
My exhibition comes down tomorrow. It has been an interesting experience. I have even sold a photograph! I spent the last two days clearing out my new shed to receive the returns. It had got to the state where nearly […]
Untitled blog post from "Beginning with"
Its been an intense week trying to get in a loads of proposals…organising all those forms and editing what I’ve written over and over to make sure its really good at times drove me insane! Its good to do I’m […]

Not down in the South of France
I have been staying at the home of friends who live in France where I have been inspired to create silkscreen and monoprints prints using Lichen found on the oak trees.
Employment status
Last month, as part of gathering evidence to support future art and design courses and government job creation programmes, we asked AIR members to respond to a survey about their employment status. As a result, we now have firm statistics to take back to HE and Government.
AIRTIME survey results
A survey highlighting the differences in type of professional development needs amongst artists in different locations such as London, Plymouth, Sheffield and Manchester.
Artists in Ireland
Artists’ employment status and livelihoods were the hot topics at a meeting that took place in August between Visual Arts Ireland’s Chief Executive, Noel Kelly and AIR advisers Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva, Sally Sheinman and Caroline Wright.

Alfred University
The course is a 2 year Masters degree in Fine art sculpture. The university itself is based in New York State and is about 5 hours from the city itself. It is actually only an hour or two from both […]

Untitled blog post from "Gifts and Occupations – August 2009 Residency"
Walked through ‘Lime Walk’ to the adjacent campus earlier this morning. I love being up really early, before others are around… I noticed things i hadnt before: the beautiful tree overhanging the lake had its branches held with wires… like […]
Untitled blog post from "Diary of an Art Historian"
Some images from when I still made art regularly… Thought I’d upload some older images while I’m working on some new things… I still will definitely post some new stuff this weekend.
