I'm off to Shanghai for a 3-week photographic project funded by the Arts Council England. I’ll be exploring a series of western-style ‘satellite’ towns that have been emerging over the past decade in this rapidly expanding city.
PACKING Madly gathering stuff to take – it will never fit in the car – ideas bubbling up – they all need loads of materials to try out – but I cannot take it all. Will put everything downstairs and […]
There has been a lot to follow up on in the wake of my Origin /Crafting space project. There is now a photo gallery online and the Crafts Council are editing a short film about it, these will both help […]
when an action makes you think. when i became a student, i naively wanted discussion and passion and interesting things to happen to me, as part of my student experience. i didn't expect to become a hinderance to a business. […]
I've been working on a new application; 'the last one' I tell myself. This one is an opportunity with money attached (how rare is that?!) and it's not as if there's a 20-page application form to complete or even a […]
The exhibition Argraffiad/Printed opens tomorrow night in Galeri Caernarfon http://www.galericaernarfon.com/eng/arts.aspx I've been over there putting things in place and it's starting to look ok, even though I was feeling really rotten with a cough and chest infection, aching etc etc. […]

I am just back from Macedonia, where I when for a week to see my family and also to find out how things are developing with the Venice Biennale. I am not sure If I said this already in my […]
Recently I’ve been working on the rushes I made at the sites of the camps – particularly Argeles. Being totally absorbed by editing on the computer and the creative process seems so far removed from walking and recording at the […]
There seems to be a bit of a go-slow on the Creative Communities project at Caterham. There is due to be a rescheduled meeting with interested parties before Christmas but I haven't heard anything yet. Thank goodness I have some […]
Yesterday I received my assessment result for the ritual module and am happy with my grade! Now for the real work for the penultimate module before the BA! I have re-read my proposal and after a couple of good days […]
i woke with a handful of beans and hoped they would last for most of the day. it didnt start too well tho 30mins spent on the train going nowhere, made me 5mins late for a tutorial. it turned out […]
An evening with Hirschhorn With this, one of the worst photos I have ever taken on my mobile phone, I am announcing the end of my residency at Fabrica engaging with the work of Thomas Hirschhorn, specifically with 'The Incommensurable […]
An evening with Hirschhorn continued: Afterwards we went for dinner: Liz, Matthew, John, Helen, Thomas and I. It was relaxed and enjoyable. We talked about football, running, England, philosophy, a bit about art. I wanted to spend the whole evening […]
