I am an artist / curator who works with places and people. A few years ago (2003-4) I was lucky enough to be instigating, organising, fundraising and then helping select and develop the vision for an exhibition from a national […]

I think veneer can make you think about trees in a different way, the patterns, deformaties, bug holes and knots. These qualities aren’t just potential things of beauty but say alot more about the lives of the trees they came […]

2/9 – Charging through the early morning countryside on the Shatabdi express towards Agra, a rare example in Delhi of something that works without a lot of shoving and hooting. I’m feeling particularly misanthropic at the end of a week […]

Dense inscriptions. An impromptu lecture from Anu Venugopalan on photon entanglement, and the equally tortuous labyrinth of Chawri bazar.

Laid out the polaroids that I found on the allotment a few months ago. There are 23 – tables, chairs, chests, whatnot table and paintings. The bluish green faded colours are beautiful. I hope by handling them, placing them, scanning […]

Self-seeding plants Have been doing some rough graphite rubbings of self-seeded plants in and around Beijing. It would be good to get some of these identified – some are offspring of huge ancient trees, while some are seeds on the […]

Tourist Art Have been having a few discussions about tourist art. As an artist visiting another country/culture it is very easy to fall into the trap of producing tourist art. The overwhelming experience can tempt you in this direction, but […]

The live/durational part of Bed was completed at 4.55pm on Saturday (started at 12.00 noon). The day was really good and I’m really pleased with way the piece turned out. The completed drawing surprised me with it’s beauty. The process […]
