My week consists of three days at my part-time job, which helps pay the bills and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday working in the art studio at the Digswell Arts Trust. Last week the value of the trust really highlighted itself […]
We're behind with marketing, so Kat and I were a bit concerned on Saturday that no one would turn up for a talk by Professor David Crouch on 'The Art of Allotments'. However, the first visitors arrived promptly at midday […]
It's been a bit of a struggle this time, getting Kalender together. I think this is partly because I know in the back of my mind that the next festival – Candlemas – isn't until 15 February so there's been […]
28/01/08 I have been ill. No doubt weakened by drink I succumbed to Catherine’s cold. Things are still not totally clear about the events of the night of the 25th. However I did find the map drawn for me by […]
December 25th Spend some of the day on Coverack beach in Cornwall, taking photos and recording sound. Watched the 'Xmas' dip… mad.

26/01/08Morning – cold & clear I have woken with a heavy cold and a painful hangover. I had planned to write a serious account of my work so far and hopes for the future. Maybe later. I crept out of […]
… coincidences and planned occurrences…/ shape-shifting and soul-changing …trains through snowy landscapes, passing friendships that last as long as the time to the next destination, many night-time border-crossings, feeling timeless, feeling at the mercy of fate, feeling the wild bandits […]
!!! continued from post 54 !!!: … walking in knee-deep snow with heavy luggage, putting a wild dog in his place, making decisions, making not enough decisions, looking for answers, finding more questions, chance meeting with mystical figures from the […]
Since the private view I have been at the exhibition space at St George's Church six days a week. Partly to make the most of the last couple of weeks 'in residence' and partly because there isn't anyone else to […]
25/01/68 It is my birthday, a fact I might gladly have forgotten, but Tess didn’t, she emailed Katie. At lunch a chocolate birthday cake appeared, Eva had found a penguin and placed it on top and Katie had fashioned a […]
Friday 25th January Today is my last day on the residency. Of course there will be the editing and compiling of audio and video clips to hand in, but generally that's it. It's a pity, because today was brilliant. Two […]
The project discussed is a joint collaboration between two artists, Neil Galligan a watercolour painter, and Kim Walker, a digital artist. Both artists travelled together for three weeks around the Western Isles, collecting material in 2009. When The Stone Falls […]
I have been back in Glasgow from the Outer Hebrides for 3 months now and the work is making progress. It can be quite slow though as I'm balancing part-time work and my art practice, usually I have around 2-3 […]
Thursday 24th January The performance went very well I think. I haven't listened back to the recording yet, but I know there were some very subtle bits, particularly the section where we used field recordings. I had four students who […]
