Issue 2 out now, particularly enjoyed Rachel Marsden's piece… http://www.newartcriticism.co.uk/ Josie Faure Walker's piece 'Skip to the End' also made me chuckle, especially the advert in the bottom right: 'HELP. we're a sucessful commercial gallery that needs an intern to […]

Today I have shuffled around my studio trying to decide where to place each piece of spliced, reconfigured and manipulated image together with the usual materials I have to create new work. I am undecided at the moment, wrestling with […]
Having committed my idea into words and placed them in the public domain I have started to wonder if I am doing the right thing. This seems a daunting challenge, one that I have all sorts of hopes and ideas […]
Still writing – seems never ending but 1 more week is all I have before it has to be handed in – Thank Goodness for deadlines. This report could go on & on……………………. Just watched the Big Art Project on […]
