Projects and Preoccupations is an updated title. I started this blog as an experiment: an alternative to a studio, a gathering space for ideas and images to help with consistency and fluidity in my work. Three years on..I’m still finding […]
My fortnight old sos yielded no responses at all. So I now know that there are no philanthropists reading my blog. Well, I suppose it is good who one's audience is not. You clearly have no financial means or if […]
I have an interview on tuesday afternoon, with the "Royal Standard", who have located new premises. (They are a dynamic artist/studio group who I think have a fair amount of potential. It would be great to join the team.) After […]
… oh I do have some drawings for you, sketches of new ideas and project strands, some may find together with previous work, some may stay more on their own feet.. As I say, sketches for new projects, proposals ….
We are now in Kathmandu. Sorry that there has been a lack of BLOG, but we have not seen an internet cafe on the whole of our pilgrimage route. What I will do is fill in the gap with installments […]
I'm finding it hard to settle in to my new life in West Yorkshire. It felt like a holiday for ages, now the reality has hit and I feel a bit lonely. I think it's a delayed reaction, after keeping […]
MAKING, BUILDING, SHAPING (1) Willow has been working away at the structural design of the central piece, making steel mesh models and trying out the roof. It looks certain to work and am doing a ribbon weave with a piece […]
Better late than never, I thought I should write a final entry… The residency is now officially finished and I am back in the UK. My cross country moving house was a success but there are still things in France […]
This evening I will be heading back to nottingham for a couple of days to do some filming and photo shoots up there. It started off as a trip home with one potential shoot. Now it's looking more like two […]
It's been some time since I wrote a post, for which I apologise. Last week was an unpleasantly busy week. Unpleasant because most of my busy-ness has not been due to making work but due to things like moving house […]
Sometimes meetings can take an age and meander, but this wasn't the case yesterday when we discussed Standing Room. This was partly due to a tight agenda drawn up by Kat who unfortunately couldn't make the meeting. Tasks and deadlines […]

Saatchi has put my blog on it's front page…mmmnice… http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/blogon/drupal/?q=node/29814
This last week has been a very busy one. After being away from my artwork for a week I had four days to get my piece for the Jerwood drawing prize entry finished. I bought it home so I could […]
The work I am doing on this artist residency is complex. I have no job description and as this is a Utopian community I am free to do what I want. But hold on – the kind of work that […]
5ive images…
The research begins with something like being an anthroplogist and being in this Utopian community in a way that helps me to work out what the rules and codes of behaviour are. I don't know if I'm dressed properly to […]
Going through my photographs of the last weeks I am interested in the stories which they tell. I must begin to organise, order and edit. Perhaps one of my summer jobs will be to make a workbook.
