I had a good day in the studio space today. I worked on my drawings and also went for a walk. The idea for this project is drawn from an early teenage idea of wanting to be a bird. I […]

The last week was not very productive at all. I got a few paintings done early week but that was all. The postcard show took more time than I expected it to do. 2 full days in total setting up. […]

I'm very glad I did try out the installation, because it turned out completely different to how I imagined it, and it also gave me a much clearer idea of what, logistically, is going to be involved in doing it […]

Activities Today the National Marquetry Exhibition opens in Stoke on Trent. This is the show of the membership organisation ‘The Marquetry society’ so not something I am exhibiting in. I will however be at the venue tomorrow, hosting an activity […]

Three Weeks To Go No answers in Rhyl I'm afraid! Nevermind though because the installation is well on it's way, and thank God for the Bank Holiday because it gives me a whole day to get on with the tea […]

I've finally started to set up my space now, although this was hindered slightly by the fact that Channel Four were filming an advert for the University in the gallery for a while, and the place was awash with media […]

Amelia has organised 'Natter over the garden fence' ( a series of talks) which has crept up rather quickly. I'm impressed by her energy and drive to sort out such an ambitious programmme at short notice. Amelia generously offered lunch […]

The initial video work, "Phlebitis", featured me in a suit floating round Newcastle, using the dead spaces between buildings, areas used almost exclusively for getting from one point to another. This 'disengagement' (incorporating tunnel vision, completely ignoring one's surroundings, and […]

As well as moving round Newcastle centre I used the project space in the sculpture studios, a long room for communal use. By jumping in this space, I was then able to manipulate my movement using different editing techniques. By […]

one week on…

All footage for Phlebitis has essentially been scrapped, in favour of a completely new film, as yet untitled. I have used the same method and some of the same techniques I developed in filming and editing the first set of […]

We are making a sculpture that has books as a plinth. It is made of clay and has a brass-look plastic plaque. It was blessed this morning by the big boys and so now we're ready to rumble. This picture […]

The tables are coming along okay – I had loads of ideas at the start and then settled on a very simple design that said more than a lot of the complicated ones. It's a similar idea to the video, […]

This morning I collected one of my billboard posters. I am very excited about how it has turned out, it looks great and it has the pixelated quality that I wanted. I cant wait to see the other billboards and […]

I have been included in my university's exhibitions departments press release, take a look….

Long day in the studio again… my print has been printed and collected. my glass … is still glass. wood for frame has been cut. the frame itself looks cheap ikea-esq my crit is still on tues. ohhh on another […]

It seems an incredibly short time since I was collecting the Palm Sunday Kalender last Friday, but I found myself at the printers again after work today, collecting the Easter edition. I like its egg yolk yellow cover, and the […]

Currently the brainwaves are a little blocked due to unforseeable circumstances. But here is a basic drawing of the "Giants".

yadda yadda yadda. not such a good day… But at least I met Dave Gorman!
