This project is now well under way, I have got the canvas stretched and the first coat of primer is on. I am also now exhausted from two hard days graft. The images continue to come in although now I […]
I hope to chart the development of this project here, posting my thoughts on what I am doing and some of the work I will hopefully produce. Questioning the relationship between Marquetry and Art may also create a space for […]
I've just joined OUTPOST, an artist committee run gallery in Norwich. Instead of paying an annual subscription, you get the option of doing a day's invigilation at the gallery, and that was what I chose to do. I'd heard nothing […]
The Foundling Opera I’ve stripped the film bare, I’ve even pared down the rather thin soundtrack I had made earlier. Now occasional and distant snatches of tune fade in an out of a largely silent film. I feel like […]

After the talk – the tortuous post-mortem. I keep thinking – I forgot to say this… I hope it didn’t sound like that… and I really meant something else. I do yhis every time. The trouble is you can’t edit […]
