It was just such a lovely civilised Saturday evening…with a close school friend, since the age of seven, his family and others…greeted warmly with champagne, quail eggs, canapes…and a string quartet in the drawing room. As we left in the […]
Last Sunday the Bargehouse exhibition ended. I spent the day around the show and had some really interesting discussions with visitors on that last day. Specifically memorable was a blind group that Rita had invited to the show. I was […]
I have received over 1,000 images for my internet based community project "Children of Craig-y-nos", photos taken mainly by children using Brownie box cameras as they recorded their experiences of life inside a TB sanatorium some 50 years ago. This […]

I'd started to drop behind in my self imposed schedule so I ventured into Uni today (Saturday). I half expected to see other fine art students working seeing as we only have about 6 weeks left. No, the studios were […]
Feeling fine with the mosaic. I will cut off the lower section tommorrow. So I am almost half way through. The 'madness' has not yet arrived. The work has been interupted by other things and broken up the mind numbing […]
Just returned…from an early morning walk on the beach with Smartie. It cleared my head and got me thinking. It's too easy to be negative and I'm not a negative person. Striking a balance in this blog between discourse and […]
After finishing the images I sat with them, watched them, and realised they where not fully communicating what I wanted them to communicate. I worked further into the two portrates of my father, they now communicate -i feel- the image […]
So as I come to the end of this project what am I communicating with you in these last images, what is it that I want you all to know after being so open when normally I am so very […]

I've been working from home yesterday and today, a combination of a lot of paperwork to do and childcare problems. I'm probably going have to work over the weekend painting as I am starting to get behind schedule. I finished […]
Just realised that haven't actually explained at all what I am doing. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. Have hit that momnet where you question everything you're doing- does it make sense? Is it any good? What the […]
This year the "Month of Photography" is curated by artist Manit Sriwanichpoom under the loose theme "Portraits"- so I've chosen my favourite action heroes Bruce Lee, Sylvester Stallone, Jaa Panom (Tony Jaa) and Jean-Claude Van Damme. They are paired off […]
