I'm questioning what my practice is and what I want it to be. I think I might be putting the cart before the horse. The studio has become a refuge from all the anxiety about John. Since spending more (regular) […]
Radio silence doen't mean that my project has ended, rather that it has moved on to a period of concentrated work. I am aiming to complete some pieces before December although my working space at St George's has been partly […]
The first image is thankfully now complete. I’m really pleased with the way it works in its given space. The chippys have built a long, shallow series of cupboards underneath to hide the building’s electrics. This will be painted very […]
Stop. Take stock. I’ve thought about what I’m doing with the work here, obviously I have- and sort of where I’m going with it. This week I wrote it down, to reflect. My practice, working process, audiences, workshops. I wasn’t a fan of […]

BaseNorth have been looking around the Sunniside area for alternative sites for our exhibition. There are many empty offices and shops up for sale, which we are going to contact to find out whether we can rent one of these […]
Minnis-bay is cold
I am now back from Galway; I visited the opening of TULCA. The visit was interesting not least because I met so many fascinating people, writers, artists, makers, curators and people working within the arts field. There were about 150 […]
Projects unedited blog by Nans Gallery
the friday peer review session went really well. nearly 100% (15 people) attendance and new faces who have been writing for the blog but whom we have not yet met. it was all a bit chaotic, since we decided to […]

Stress levels are rising, as is the pile of lights, wiring and projectors, in what was once the living room. I have reached that familiar point where I now know what I should have done and how I should have […]
