I am struggling to understand the idea of beauty and "rightness" of a piece of ceramics. Sometimes I make things that I am happy with and when I look at them after a while I start to see how wrong […]
Just a quickie to say my latest piece lives and breathes! Installation of the tower has taken place and the monitors are in there and working. Slight snag with one side – which means it's not gonna be fully completed […]
It’s all a bit hazy! My rebellion against conservative, ‘post-ironic’, conceptualism and my attempt at using a handheld video camera for still photos. My advanced apologies for any offence either will inevitably cause. Where’s the humanity? After delving into installation […]
It only took a few hours to hang Sarah's exhibition yesterday but the space has been transformed. The optical illusion of some of the pieces tested our judgement at times – but we were both v happy with the end […]

Dan Proops, ''Google' oil on canvas 40" by 48"', 2008. Courtesy: Dan Proops. Proops feels that the Google home page is one of, if not the most iconic images of our time.

Pippa, my cousin in Portugal, has just reminded me of the family friendship with the Regos…all in the past now, but her grandmother often had tea with Paula's mother and also visited their summer house at Ericeira near Cascais and […]
Just to headline the feedback and leads I got at the Goldsmiths kick-off meet at the CHRRCT: I will be looking at different uses of the metaphor of the textile, beyond those I already explored in my pilot piece. Also, […]
This is the last week before the Bargehouse exhibition. I set up my piece in my studio last Friday so that I could set back and contemplate it, consider what might not work and really to help me answer a […]
