Delta made a remarkable comeback against a stunned Colne side. They’ve now recorded a fourth straight victory after an uncertain start to the season…Bayerns had to hold on against a typically stubborn Bombaya after having two players sent off for […]
Firstly, thanks to everyone who replied. Like I said below I didn’t think about the personal nature of replies being incompatible with comments. Heard from some mums, dads, and some also worrieds. The majority says yes, you can have it […]
TOWARDS TOMORROW After 6 years working from a shared workspace at Blue Monkey Studio in Eastbourne, I’m going back to school. Everything is changing. I’m giving up my workspace, stepping down from local commitments, and focusing on my personal practice […]
Erik at wip:sthlm has been wonderful in getting everything sorted out so that I have the studio from 1 August. I can’t quite believe how well it is all working out. After meeting Erik and seeing the studio on Wednesday […]
Saulius and I are relatively happy with the work – though it’s a hard thing to document – the light is very fine.It looked absolutely beautiful at times; each time the light reflected off a mirror, it refracted very slightly […]
was at Lighthouse till 10 pm last night – two shoots – one with a man who is 86 and another – a third shoot for a woman who was 61. It was an interesting night. The man, who initially […]
Just spoken to Jim, my laser man back at home. Why on earth didn’t I call him before? My lasers are almost certainly ruined, he says, thanks to using 9V batteries – they’re only able to tolerate 3V. Another couple […]
31/07/09 Yerevan is full of painters and cafes – seems like there’s one of each on every street corner. The first thing that strikes us is the heat – up to 40 degrees celsius. It is not too bad though […]
So far about half of the handful of people I invited to join the Colin of Alaska Facebook group have done so. Not bad, now I have to wait and see. I was particularly excited this weekend to see a […]
02/08/09 We found a nicer place to stay – close to the opera, with paintings by our landlady and her father. Plus tea and cake:). Met up with Tsomak, a music curator from Utopiana, a non-profit arts organization based in […]
Trying to think of a focus for my visual art efforts this year. I think I’d like to fulfil my childhood/art student/current ambition to learn to draw – to be visually aware and literate… so I may use this blog […]
the hammers have started. lots of banging, lots of people. lots of noise. we have been told to quieten down. I have a feeling the screen will be hanging tomorrow. I am starting to digitize last nights shoot. I have […]
Salon Show This is it! The finale, the show to end all shows. We intend to fill every single surface with art! How many artists can you exhibit in one fifty-three foot room? Wall to wall creativity, the biggest independent […]
A very interesting energy, buzzing, chatting and the odd “bang bang” … infact as I type the bang bang has become BANG BANG.. Tina Gonsalves – The screen is starting to take shape now – hayley and connor have left […]
I didn’t mean to post anything else again today, but I was just checking the deadline for something and came across a residency at the Bridge School; a special needs school in Islington. This is a residency with studio, materials […]
Today I’ve been exploring… {The tick of the old pendulum clock in the portrait room competing with the buzz of the sound system} {The almost static-like noise of the rain on the plastic roofed corridor} {A long lost leather belt […]
I found this written in a book about musical instruments, related to the Froebel technique. It seems so relevant to our modern worlds – my recent investigations into ASDD support it perfectly… “In a world where the ears of the […]
It seems that Froebel and his teaching techniques received alot of opposition in his Victorian era… The proverb “Children should be seen and not heard” keeps popping into my head. I think this is what Froebel was working against… Here, […]
Jane McGrath – MA DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS Arrived today feeling a little unsure of what to expect, came down the stairs turned the corner and arrived…. a room full of activity, a large green tarpaulin laid out on the floor, […]
24 July – blustery, dark sepia skies and the threat of rain -sat in Intermarche car park and filmed very dramatic skies wafting past Napoleon’s column – it is so tall that it was a good navigational landmark. Drove up […]

Tina Gonsalves – I digitized all of last nights footage. I edited helen’s in and out points – making them longer. I feel I am going to have ot deal with it another way – meaning – less talking – […]
‘Constructive criticism’ from the man eating his pie sat in the chair outside the shop. He liked it better when I was in the shop, moving. I asked if art had to have movement. He wanted to know what it […]
