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 […]

I've had a bit of a pause for a week or two. Tidied the studio and stared at everything I've made recently in a blank, out of focus, starey sort of way. Got some books to read for research, but […]
