Found a great product called inkAID which can be used to coat all sorts of surfaces for printing through an ink jet printer. Opens up all sorts of possibilities!!!

I've been delaying posting a blog until a disc of images of 'Chamber Maid' arrives in the post from Julia Gatie, photographer. I'm not patient enough though, so that will have to follow. I do want to try to articulate […]

I've got a terrible dirty secret and I need to confess. I've been paying a woman to clean my house. She's been doing it since November, but it just never seems the right time to mention it. Then a friend […]

A list of good things that have happened to cheer me up. 1. I've been invited to talk at the AIR open dialogues in Sheffield. A great opportunity. For me, words always flow better as written text, than when they […]

oh happy day ! I have scanned all the negs and have only spoilt a couple of the images! One has my shadow in it , dammit, and one is ever so slightly out of focus. Have another shoot planned […]

Have spent the last couple of days trying to get used to the studio- however much I put things on the wall, it still looks too office-like. I managed to find a roll of thin white paper lying around by […]

Started today with a swim before breakfast (my right shoulder is still painful, although better). The staff try to make themselves available between 9.30 and 10am each morning in case of any concerns. I had hoped to catch a technical […]

Yesterday was officially the start of the stressful period. I advised a first year to avoid the studio, being as it was that all the third years were shouting, screaming and generally swearing at each other. Things were thrown and […]

the studio manager compromised with a room full of vocal students. the room was empty on presentation day morning. i filled and painted the cracks and marks. i hung the work from invisible thread. i posted signs and arrows. i […]

It is almost a year since I began this blog whose purpose was to record and reflect on the twelve months after most of the work on my 'Papertrails' project came to an end. It has been an odd year; […]

Last night a get-together of Inside Out artists took place at The Hand Hotel in Llanarmon D.C. We discussed issues relating to "Inside Out-Time and Place" scheduled to begin on May 9th, with an evening opening. Following the experiences of […]

Ottica TV is going to have a screening tomorrow night at The Better Bankside Centre, 18 Great Guildford Street (corner of Zoar Street behind Tate Modern), London, SE1. Ten minute movie shorts by a selection of international artists. From 6.00 […]

In response to Pam's 'St Kevin' and to Seamus Heaney's 'St Kevin and the Blackbird'…..looking at releasing the saint from his cell into the panoptic world. The lower two prints are also related to freedom and surveillance. Sue Buswell

I met Iwan Bala senior lecturer at the School of Creative Arts and Humanities, Trinity College, Carmarthen and went to a lecture he gave. He spoke about the suppression of Wales by Britain especially by the submersion of Llanwddyn by […]

Interesting comments here about Mr Bourriard, his altermodern and the state of the art market of late. Does anyone think that Damien Hirst style production/ value markets will really collapse? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/mar/01/tate-britain-bourriaud-art-market

Over the past two days I haven't been able to stop building the gallery – a strange wave of creativity just took over me and I wasn't satisfied until I had the basic structure built. Just to re-cap, the other […]

'The youth club' is the last session on Mondays in Barton for me. This youth club I have worked in before and one member of staff is still there after 3-4 years. This situation is one of those where you […]

Tommorrow Cosmo is having his hair cut! 10am. Some weeks ago I recieved a letter from a student wanting a work placement position with me. She outlined her graphics/computer and web skills and explained she liked working with groups and […]
