I have decided to knit covers for the breeze blocks that support the arches in the tunnel. I started of with knitting torn up duvet covers, but after some time I changed my mind and started all over using some […]
Well, i left it an extremely long time again before i posted a blog. Old habits dont die fast. So, the assesment was last wednesday, the external assesment on thursday (and i was chosen to be spoken to) and the […]
I thought I ought to share with you the writer, Lisa McGarry who I have made contact with and have started discussions and ideas for collaboration. I was hooked in when I discovered her way of seeing and articulating place […]
Wow, this has been really helpful. Ok, so I haven’t solved my financial problem, but the discussion and advice has been very valuable and much appreciated, the generosity of other artists and their desire to offer advice and support leaves […]

Thursday's critical framework sessions have ended until next year now so no more trips up to London on Thursdays. It would be so easy to let the time get eaten up by 'life' but Thursdays will be studio days now […]
I write with 20 and a half hours to go. Four O'Clock tomorrow sees the big deadline, the cutoff, the end of being a working student. I'm ready, providing the Blu-Ray disc has burnt overnight, and that I finish the […]
I am so touched by the generosity of fellow students coming to my help. I actually think there may be a chance of finishing now and can't thank them enough. Head banging, elbows throbbing, back aching….spirits lifted :)

I'm starting this in the middle, not the beginning – mainly because I hadn't thought of blogging until I was well into the project. The piece is quite small – 31 stitches and 32 rows (meant to be 31 but […]
A cumulative performance in which I unravel and reknit the same small piece of knitting each day throughout May. I'm interested in how the yarn changes (frays, splits, crinkles) in the process, how that affects the making and the object […]

I have been trying to solve the problem regarding incorporation of the ‘tent’ in my installation for the Degree Show. Because it won’t be possible for me to hang the ‘tent’ like I did in the studio, I had to […]
Dissertation handed in did leave me with a sense of huge relief I have to say, I have taken leave from work, Biennial have been really good about it, 3 weeks off to concentrate on college work. It is my […]
I finally have all the materials I need to begin Japanese-style woodblock printing. Even to make basic prints, I found out I needed a plethora of tools: a selection of specialist gouges, flat chisels, a plane, stones for sharpening, and […]
Well I've been commissioned to make something for next year's Whitstable Biennale. That's it really, the brief that is. Make anything I want. I have a few ideas but as usual nothing firm. I quite like the idea of not […]
