Once again, I’d like to be able to talk about the work – and once again, other stuff’s getting in the way. Until five minutes ago, it looked like everything was going fine. In the last five minutes I’ve had […]
Our project is on task, we’re really pleased with the idea, with both its form and how we intend to execute it. I’ll talk about it more after tomorrow night. I hadn’t mentioned till now, but we’d been talking about […]
Teresa and Dominique here today. We didn’t blog yesterday as we were victims of our own success. We left the shop, after another hectic day, at 5.30 just before they locked us in and we were both shattered when we […]
It’s been quiet on this blog, but there as been a lot going on in the world outside, so much that time has been short to catch up on it all. I have been busy with my new commission for […]
It’s one of those parralell walks, Cosmo’s in his world and I’m in mine. Just following an unknown path in the woods. Paths in the woods are a bit like paths in real life. Feeling overwelmed, small, grumpy and anyoyed […]
Went down to Exeter last weekend with my intern , who is great, to help clear and prepare the space for the group show with fellow St Martins students. Mental space as someone said. Take that any way one wants […]
Can. Barely. Speak. So. Tired. And in a rush a I’m up later than usual and have to be at the studio – ie our studio, not the TV studio – for 11 which is in an hour. Very briefly. […]
I’ve borrowed some of my kids building blocks, to create a ‘moving’ woodcut print. The idea being to cut it and animate the blocks moving themselves into different images. On each side is a close up of a dove (ring-necked/ […]
A young girl asked “Is that where you live?”. My immediate thought was ‘In the shop’ then thought she means in the tent tunnel wigwam ‘thing’. Old school technology givin’ me a hard time. Trying to put a one hour […]
Louise Nason Artist in residence. Well I have been weaving my new warp for a while now. It is slow going as its a double cloth. I want to persevere with it as its good to have a decent sized […]
I have decided on a new sign- Tokyo: 5988 miles> − Ideas- update: •Video footage of Hertford/London/Sandon with a focus on Roads. − Commentary: Some things take a longer time to make than you expect. When I think of an […]
The degree show was a blur. I was worried I wouldn’t get to the college in time for my scheduled performance– an hour before the start, I was still south of Brixton, trying to get a taxi driver who knew […]
…cont’d from 11 I was running on pure adrenaline and anger at this point, which will have had an effect on the performance overall, but as there were violent elements involved, it didn’t really matter much. I asked for help […]
Still writing from memory at the moment… and trying to put together a course essay for next week. Am looking forward (with great terror – is that possible?) to my final PgDip project due in late September. I’m going to […]
The full timers on my course are preparing to work over the summer all over the college now that the BA’s and Doctorates have finished for the year; every studio in the college is empty and up for grabs. The […]
“You look like you’re havin’ pure fun.” A fella says he’s been meaning to ask what I’m doing, people have been doing. I tell him there’s only been me doing and he say’s nah there was a half caste guy […]
The return to my Ipswich lodgings was largely uneventful. My companion felt unwell probably due to too much excitement. As she slept for most of the journey back I was left with my own thoughts as I mulled over our […]
This project is gathering momentum. We had a Shape.. meeting with everyone in London the other week to discuss PR/audience development. It was at Oxford House in Betnnal green, just by Weavers Field , appropriately enough…Just being with everyone, talking […]
