Sent the catalogue to print today, quite a sense of relief and a different sense of anxiety as it is now out of our hands. Hopefully we will have proofs on Monday, an exciting prospect. I was talking to a […]
The bird heads became an issue, they have been refused and I was told that I couldn’t exhibit them inside the Cathedral.I was given the option to show them in the Cloisters but I decide that this was not an […]
We might be ignoring the fact that we live in the existence of war and peace. The reality is our civilisations exist and evolve by the continuous chemistry between the elements in it. When these elements are the ones that […]
The installation of the work was planned to take place on the 18th and the 19th of April but this extended it into the forthcoming week. My partner and me managed to position the speakers on all four walls but […]

Just a couple of pictures really – I'm thoroughly enjoying looking at the work posted on here in the blogs of others so thought I'd join in. I wish I'd signed up and joined in at the beginning of this […]
