Well, i’ve been shown up by a 12 year old. A very mature and intellegent one its true, but nonetheless… she managed to fold a totally different variation of Froebels form and it looks great. But in my defense its […]
Thinking today about the games the children were playing on the soundscape i took from the nursery i realised how it once again demonstrates the power of play. Role playing in situations like this must guide the children and help […]
Time, it seems, really does wait for no-one. We have still not received the paper work that needs to be signed and sealed before we access the unit (on Monday). Still we carry on regardless … there really is nothing […]
i decided to stop and start going forward again so answered the call to review ….. www.a-n.co.uk/interface/reviews/single/555796 enjoyed the thinking involved in writing again, until the kids came home and i had to cut it short. went to tate britain […]
Documenting the activities of the Lincoln Art Programme. commissioning live art events and projects in the city.
The window space had my mothers desk in it. I could look out and get a glimpse of the pavement often with a chicken on it trying to get grit from the road. My mothers diary laid out and her […]
Paidblog: Alas, still no money through. I guess when a bigger amount is transferred the bank like to hold onto it for a bit longer to make themselves some money. Linzblog: An incredible weekend.. to the house of a local […]
Paidblog: Very good news: Intute have found me 10 hours work a month until December :) So glad. This will be mainly reviewing/ updating the mass of old and out of date records, but if you have a good art […]
I had a blog last year too, on Degrees Unedited, then I was approached last month to write a review of my experience blogging, that was an experience itself. I went back through not only my blog but the other […]
Back home from a week in Cornwall, our first real proper, grown up holiday, – not the usual house sitting that we do for friends while they jet off somewhere nicer that they’ve actually paid for. All that time to […]
Rantblog: Just saw this posted by Art in Liverpool’s Ian Jackson on Facebook http://www.artinliverpool.com/blog/2009/08/topshop… Liverpool’s new topshop are looking for an artist to design and paint the walls in both Topshop and Topman. The store is going to be huge […]
Spent some time experimenting – gluing the paper folds down to reduce them springing open just seems to deaden them – i’ve found a great press inthe studio and it seems to be doing the trick – the paper tiles […]
breakfast today was porridge with raspberries, strawberries and golden syrup. washed down by tea and a ride over to the gallery. i’d gone to document my piece. lovely to see others installing, the gallery had much more atmosphere, although i […]
Sarah Rowles’ choice of Emily Speed’s and Jennifer Brooks’ blog got me thinking … For the last few months I’ve been trying to allow my practice to find me.It’s been a rewarding if somewhat frightening time. I know that I […]
Its been a week or more since I wrote last. Either I have been so involved in making that I haven’t had the time, or I suddenly lost my tongue and got reticent. Tonight I embark on ‘having a go’ […]
I was pleased Andrew Bryant chose one of my comments as quote of the month; I emailed him with the request for a forum on Artists Talking and as it turns out is something they’ve been discussing at chez A-N […]
I managed to drag myself away from framing and video-editing to start a new series of paintings. I locked the studio door to avoid any distractions from little Emilie and Louis and started to ‘drip’ over textures I made earlier […]
