Pondering the themes that introduced via questions as part of my Source Artist process….Freedom was one that led to some interesting explorations. The definition of freedom that resonnates with me is "to be free from external cause". From this perspective […]
Office PPE, week 24
I'm finding myself in a period of uncertainty about the project. The past two days have been totally given over to working on Kalender. Selecting and preparing images and finding text are part of the work, I know, and it's […]
Oh dear, it's been far too long since I updated this blog. It's been falling off the bottom of my list because for the last couple of months I've been busy launching my art website. Putting together a proper website […]

Got to the Forbidden City today – truly amazing to see, as amazing as Angkor in Cambodia; in the same vein, sumptuous design and colour and layout, so lovely to walk around and just be in such an ancient and […]
Just returned from a few days in the jungle/ coffee plantation, set in endless miles of tall hills and mountains. The quiet, rainy monsoon, thinking time has been invaluable.Inspiration is a shy wild animal… Forcing it will never tame it.
I met up with Ann Rapstoff on Friday as part of our research into collaborative work. Started a conversation about issues around working this way. Ann has worked in many combinations. We hope to arrange a meeting between Breaking Ground […]
