PART ONE: This is a report on Fly Eric #2 at Storey Gallery, Lancaster, which I attended with a travel bursary courtesy of LAN (Lancashire Artists Network). http://www.lanarts.com/ Fly Eric is a developmental network of artist focused organisations in the […]

PART TWO: .. Anyway, after a quick flit round the newly-refurbished building we had some spiel from Neil, who is the creative industries coordinator (not sure if that title is spot on) at the Storey Institute. I hope the mix […]

'Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.Where have you been? its alright we know where youve been.Youve been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys andscouting for boys.You bought a guitar to punish your ma,And you didnt like […]

Ps. Keep forgetting to mention – I decided not to rush ahead with a NAN application for APT = Artists Parents Talking. I've had tons of ideas about what we might do, but I'd like to develop the conversation through […]

Hi Andrew Thanks for your distinction between cyclicity and transformation – it's helpful because I am interested in both here. In terms of cyclicity, rather than a 'vicious circle', trapping kind of cycle, I'm thinking more of the 'cyclicity' of […]

Walking along the cliffs we wander into a natural chine type feature. In this place we find a small cave! It was enough to shelter in and dark. Did it go further back than I could see? I was just […]

We've got all the studios on the first floor of 2 Elthorne Road, and people are working hard to get the space cleared of old work and collected junk that was going to get turned into work, but didn't, or […]

I think I was trying too hard with my work, and overcomplicating things, but that was probably an important phase to go through. I kept adding things to the canvases, extra frames, bits of hardboard etc. Since my last post, […]

Today has been so busy. Drove all the way back from Devon, got in at 7pm only to clean, unpack and add more onto my Eisteddfod portfolio. and then suddenly, ive become stuck. Do i put in more, or have […]

Been a busy week, and I thought invigilating the exhibition would mean I could get work done. The place was a lot busier than I had originally thought it would be, and people were talking and had a real buzz […]

Bleurgh. Still feeling the effects of a kidney infection from last week and being very fidgety. Very uncomfortable/ verging on pain and can't sit still long enough to write up notes from the seminar yet. Had three evaluations to do […]

I have not posted for a while. In the time I have been quite on here I have been very active out there! The last few months have flown by. The main reason being I have been trying to work […]

I’m at home recovering from a small operation. Yesterday I dropped off my application for the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award. Going over to the east end was a bit much so I’m going to take it very easy today. I’m […]

Blea Tarn 1st June, Blea Tarn in the centre of the swim-circle; this is the ‘fixed point’ around which we aim to swim on a circle of radius 12 miles (approximately). Being quite high, we scanned the horizon and realised […]

I’ve managed to get some good time in the studio over the last week or so and this week hopefully is going to be a good one too for getting things done. On one hand there is the fear that […]

Publicity (six weeks to go until project Eigg begins) With precious little time now to do much more than prepare myself for the residency, I am still interested in having some form of publicity for it, so that art audiences […]

I thought the most difficult days to make a painting in my odessey would be family holidays. The christmas day and boxing day paintings were hard to fit in but eventually nephews who are under four years old do sleep […]
