Very late walk tonight because of the weather. But we went and missed most of the rain. I look at cosmo and he chills out most of the day. Laying around. He does often lay across internal door ways. One […]

I delivered some prints to be exhibited at the Little House Restaurant in Settle. Which led me to reflect on the role of the viewer. The finished work requires a viewer. In fact the image demands to be seen as […]

Looking at Alison's latest print it's interesting to see how our work is coming together. Looking forward to seeing where we can take this. So far we have been working by sharing ideas and images, as we are both working […]

Partner was upset that I criticised him in a recent post. My immediate response is simple – humf – it's easily avoided – just tidy up more… chunter, rumble etc. But in the interests of balance I must also recognise […]

Thinking of the degree show and what pieces or piece i want to represent my work is buzzing around my head constantly. There is one piece that i was sure i wanted to be at the degree show and now […]

what lights me up? getting back from being in a playing field with a video camera and a bottle of water and a teaspoon, feeling out of breath and knackered knowing there’s a cup of tea and re-fried mash and […]

My Partners print has arrived with some additional information. I discover that by coincidence we are both using maps. It is a first stage etching – the beginning.

Saying Farewell We spoke to Jacob last night and asked if he could take us back to Abuja, we explained how everyone at home was very concerned as well as both of us feeling concerned and didn’t want to disrupt […]

I dont have a letter for todays walk, we just went to the woods. I read a sign on a tree explaining that exstensive work was being carried out to fell the many fir/pine type trees and replace them with […]

I asked my girlfriend advice on how to keep a blog interesting (as she is a very successful gobshite and had best read blog on chortle comedy website) – she said to be honest- and to tell people everything. So […]

There always seems so much to do. I finalised some info about DAD for a-n today so that can be ticked off. Next I have to fill in an application form for some funding from the town council. Then I […]

Keys, An Exploration Of Loss I've been working on this piece for the last 6 months, and I seem to be thinking about it constantly. I love the keys and their secret lost lives, in creating their narratives I feel […]

Well, what an odd week. The snow was pretty bad in this neck of the woods and the school was obviously closed for some of the week, so I didn't get a chance to do much work. I did get […]
