Life at the moment is a lot of just getting on with it; getting on with the sewing, getting on with the soldering, getting on with the traces, getting on with the decision making. It’s all turned in to the […]

coming along…work in progress… www.artswain.com

The past weeks have been amazing in every sense, two performances in two weeks, both new work, both very challenging, both very new experiences, both very different works. It feels good to be in the middle of this thickness, full, […]

So…as I was saying the performance with Ben was very different. I was not having to remember any script or order, it was not rehearsed, i was not directly communicating with the audience, i was not alone. I was calm. […]

So…after these great chances to perform of late, I return to re-examining my Escalator project. Where am I in it? What have I done? How is it going? How’s my expenditure looking and where am I going to take the […]

continued from last post…. I have managed to cut down hours lecturing during this project and have regular mentoring, something invaluable when you have been making work for 8 years but still need now more than ever to discuss it […]

As I mentioned this blog forms part of my current R&D project and is being used as a way to reflect on the project, share the project with others and log the project for future presentation and evaluation. Blogs are […]

What a DREADFUL day today has been. The space/work for the degree show has to be completed by 5pm on Friday coming and today has been utterly useless. Space inaccessible, work all in the space waiting to be placed/hung/completed in […]

Today I have been thinking of angel dust, albinos, crust, legs, shine, oil. I am beginning to form a bigger picture of how I will make sounds and accompanying film footage for my project. The next layer is to do […]

Kuniyoshi at the RA Went down to London yesterday to see the Kuniyoshi exhibition at the Royal Academy. It is closing in this weekend. It was well worth the trip. I love japanese woodblock prints (as well as japanese ceramics, […]

Today i spent some time reading in order to trigger ideas for the WET exhibition. I read a chapter from "Lines" by Tim Ingold (an old favorite of mine), i think this is taking me in the wrong direction but […]

I have been extremely busy with a whole range of things, all which interrelate like some delicate weave… I am happy to say that finally we will begin working with a group on the final workshop stage of my R+D. […]

I've hit an alltime low. I feel really overwhelmed, and like giving it all up. I've decided to blog about it, because if no-one admits that sometimes it's too hard, it sets impossible standards for everyone else, and we all […]

Being moments away from crashing due to servere exhaustion brought on by the degree show up's and down, I thought i was take a second to relay some thoughts I have been having of late. Degree show private and business […]

Went to college yesterday to collect all my stuff, so I have it all ready for the gallery on Monday. It was really quiet like still before a storm, which I suppose it is! I want to transport my things […]
