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 […]
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.

Now that the Crafts Council commission is under way and living in my other blog,( Origin Interactive; Crafting Space), I can think about the threads of my R+D which need some focus. Realistically, most of my child free time is […]

Nothing much, I ground to a halt wondered about carrying on then had a good experimental printing session. The studio is full of unfinished work and prints all over the place and funnily enough its starting to look like it […]
