Now I feel much more at home in Berlin. It is actually brilliant fun to be immersed in another culture; a pleasure to learn the history, to read Thomas Mann, Nietzsche, Rilke, think about thinks differently. All those small details […]

With my day creeping towards noon with the energy of a deydrated slug. I am tempted so very tempted. And in fact I could quite severely justify this temptation. I've already committed to nearly a 1/5 of a century in […]

I forgot to mention the open evening – laid out, was the very finest of all simple snacking spreads — whole pears, glossy apples, cheese slices, carrot sticks and of course, Whoppers (as in the malted balls covered in choco, […]

Here is a photo of the allotment we plan to use for our residency. It is covered in patches of carpet (now banned) to hold back the winter growth of weeds. This gives an idea of the space available for […]

Egypt Off to Duhab tomorrow. The next week is going to be a real test for me of using the technology. Will I find internet access in the middle of the desert? will I be able to upload my daily […]

28/02/2007 From before ten am today I started drawing various directions and tryouts for the new canvases. From time to time a thought would impinge that I should stop for lunch soon, but when I finally did stop it turned […]

Yesterday I visited my allotment which we will use for our residency. I found polaroid photographs scattered over the overgrown flowerbed. They show antique furniture: a desk, table, chests of drawers. How did they get there? Who took the photos […]

There is a lot taking place behind the scenes to maximise the Residency when it kicks off after Easter. It will most probably start now at the beginning of May. I can't wait. An etching press will be installed so […]

Today I am preparing for next week's work at a school. I am wishing I had asked for funding for another artist to help with this aspect of the project. I suppose I had never thought that it would be […]

I'm starting with the time in the space first, the previous efforts collecting information and organizing was scattered and frequently interrupted. I entered a freshly painted space, very quaint and delightful (if not smelling slightly nauseating) on Monday morning, fresh […]

Rargh. There is little more annoying than forgetting to write your online document offline and then C/Ping it before posting. Beautiful things disappear into the abyss.

Morning came and while the cookies were far to sweet to bring down for the open evening, I had one for breakfast anyway, feeling groggy too (perhaps because I had two for dinner as well…) and because it’s non coffee […]

and then an amazing thing happened. I started to get tired. I turned the heaters off and made myself a cup of weak black coffee and let myself an nearly two hours to finish the cup. And somewhere between reading […]

Roz Cran and I met as students on the BA Hons Fine Art (Printmaking) course at the University of Brighton, both graduating in 2003. After graduating, we each followed separate paths, with Roz eventually taking up a place at the […]

Visited the Tate Modern while in London, always a stiumulating experience- and there's a good cafe too. And yes I did see the Gilbert and George exhibition though now I wonder why I spent £9 to see one whole floor […]

Well Miss Uppity, I was revelling in how I've assimilated my environment and thinking how nervous I had been on the U-Bahn at first, sitting on the edge of the seat, (and by the way one can mostly always get […]

Today, being Monday is admin day. My project website has developed an interesting problem which is that I can't upload images to it. The main reason for having a webite being of course to show how the project is going. […]
