A classic walk with Cos today it had everything: A short chat with someone I almost knew from somewhere else. Whose youngest sibling had just been knocked over by a dog! A chat 5 minutes later with the owners of […]
I had hoped for Christmas to be refreshing time out and a chance to recharge my batteries, but instead it was mainly consumed by various different illnesses, and much scrabbling around to find the tissues. So that over with, back […]
As my working methods are very much based on research, much of my residency was used for this purpose and it is first now I have returned to London that I have had time to start editing my other result […]
(from previous post…) Still, somehow it has to go on. So, what am I interested in? I just received a book about Bas Jan Ader. That looks good, but I’ll need a few months to read it, otherwise it would […]
I find my research runs away from me, and that the resulting work struggles to keep up. Ideas are often thrown onto the scrapheap as I discover something new, or realise that the research hasn’t gone deep enough. I doubt […]
I'm pleased to be starting a shiny new year. The tail-end of 2008 was pants. It started with the dog incident in September and ended with a series of unfortunate events. My mum is still seriously ill and I spent […]
What is time based art? Is it to do with exposure length. Implies photography, video of a performance piece? Or video of something growing all speeded up like a tulip in 12 seconds? Does it involve computers..say. The languge of […]
(PART 1) So time for a little round up now of 2008, so much seems to have happened since I started this blog in October. Christina Bryant won the Margaret Harvey Open, thoroughly deserved, although I must say that I […]
(PART 2) Regardless of personal motivation, Xmas simply forces me to come off the boil a bit, due to family commitments and the crazyness of the season. However, I'm newly invigorated by a load of illustrators I found on a […]
Hello. I came across theDegrees Unedited blog concept whilst in the library today, flipping through AN to secure some research and possibly steal it to avoid heinous costs of photocopying. Starting this means I can shove my opinions in others' […]
a link sent to me by a friend for a video of Hirschhorn talking about making art politically: http://www.artreview.com/video/video/show?id=1474022%3AVideo%3A595858
Today I read that props from the Monty Python musical Spamalot were auctioned on Ebay. Including a "lovingly recreated" model of Damien Hirst's Mother And Child Divided, so off I went to have a look- just check Ebay La Vache […]

12 September – 18 October 2008
I've decided to continue with my blogging activities on a-n. I want to continue building on the progress made last year and keep the momentum up. Blogging it seems to help me question and evaluate each new experience.
Will you draw a little bird for me? You are invited to take part in a collaborative artwork to gather together drawings of birds from around the globe. Please send me your drawing via e-mail stating whether you are left […]
Survived Christmas and the New Year, so must get back to it now. I'm still exploring the idea of Design within Fine Art and think that it depends on the definition of design and the context in which it is […]
A woods walk I think is Cosmo's favouite. Every single minute of these walks are packed with intensity for Cos. Total immersion into a world of doggy instincts and behaviour. These have been latent and dormont since the last walk. […]
I've been researching ideas to construct a Mini Doll Art Gallery, and I realised that I know nothing of designing and making doll's houses, art galleries, architecture, modelmaking or anything which might remotely be included in designing, building and making […]
