Hi this is my first go at 'blogging', but I will try to put on pics. Well I seem to have managed to put some pics on, had a couple of hiccups though, thought at one point i had put […]

I've been so busy in work that I haven't had much time to concentrate on college work (BAD GIRL). Thing is; as I work for an arts organiation I figure that everthing I do is great experience for life after […]

contemporary art in a community setting Simon brought the Grennan and Sperandio paintings to hang at the Angels. The paintings show significant sites around the geographic areas of the city. They had been identified by CN4M workers as “hot-spots” of […]

placing work in a church… At St Lukes, where I work anyway, I could print out and mount some interpretation for the venues. The reality of placing one piece of work in each venue is here! With a set of […]

Art – where's it bin? ‘All dun ere, u still cmin down” said the text from William – I reply “can you hang on be there in 20 mins” Hastily finishing up with Jil at the church, I hot foot […]

Duct Tape or Gaffa Tape – you decide.. I’m in Hurpurhey district centre – B+M stores, Wilkinsons, Mac Donalds, Asda, Subway. A freezing cold day, bitter wind. I rush about from shop to shop and the Primark scandals come back […]

Risky…. Looking at these works requires a shift of perceptions. Like when you look at an optical illusion.. I keep thinking how they will be in the gallery – certainly Joe and William have been considering this. Both have experience […]

Arriving at the Town Hall I cant believe the amount of equipment and furtniture that Hafsah has single handedly moved from the top floor studio to the sculpture Hall. We set to work creating blackout for the windows. By the […]

It's been a slow start to the New Year, I have been into the studio a few times and I am managing to work on a few canvases at the moment. I am currrently having to be inventive with my […]

Animated, the show at Wysing arts centre, is up. Well at least my bit is. I just have to hope the tvs don't go bang and my hastily constructed shelf doesn't fall off the wall. I left the gallery last […]
