I am gutted. Southwell Artspace is closing. 6 artists will be 'homeless' and Southwell will lose a jewel of a gallery. The usual story – not enough funding. I will miss the exciting exhibitions, the lovely people who run it […]
Wow, that week between blogs turned into a month. There is nothing like ill children and my own flu to slow down the train of life. I began to enjoy the headspace being unwell created and in the meantime a […]

Dot and I performed our piece "Species of Spaces" at the Late Shift (SCVA) last night. We both thought it went really well, and discussed how neither of us had ever had a repeatable 'performance' before. It seems we still […]
I’ve been thinking about how my moods are associated with my work, and how they go in waves quite a bit. I’ll feel like I’m on to something, I’ll have a rush of ideas which need to be written down […]
My last few days of freedom for the time being to work on 'Organisation X' have drawn to a close until after Christmas, as tommorow brings back the 9 to 5 monotony in the gallery of doom I would prefer […]
