Rather bizarre experience today – I received an email directly addressed to me from a-n about these blogs, only to find I was quoted in the first couple of lines. It’s mildly peculiar to read something addressed to you, that […]
Last Saturday we successfully hosted an informal platform event at Norwich Arts Centre. It was an opportunity for some of our collective to try out performances to a small audience, and then discuss the outcomes afterwards. Rebecca Wigmore opened, with […]

Here beings my second ever post This week started quite slowly with little motivation to do any work, with things like Christmas and doing the laundry getting in the way! However the end of the week has reared its ugly […]
feeling a bit like that bloke armstrong. today i'm preparing all the paperwork and disc for a submission tomorrow. it's exciting and rewarding to realise that it'll be a selected/not selected outcome. i do have thoughts towards the impending assesment […]

Day 13 I awake to a light smattering of snow across my installation and a much thicker coating covering the surrounding hills. I am relieved to have braved the rain and completed the installation yesterday. I enjoy trudging about with […]
