Just back from New York. Had expected to be able to update my blog on a daily basis through using internet cafes. Not so. In New York everyone is WI-Fi and they carry their own personal gadgets ( cell phone, […]
Most welcome arrival of the Architect again. It was to be the final visit and departure but now there is this period of another month's grace. Hurrah. We visit the Landscape Architect in his spacious apartment, a newly converted attic […]
It was mostly an art free day.Except for Plato who snuck under my duvet, so I read a discussion on knowledge in ‘Theaetetus’.Tomorrow I will assemble loopers, order drive belts and spare lamps for the projectors. Then it is time […]

Postcard from Berlin (1): Last Friday I visited ‘after the butcher’www.after-the-butcher.de This is an artist owned space in a former butchers shop in the district of Lichtenberg, in the east of the City. The family who own it (they also […]
The potters did a great job – the pots really look quite medieval, right down to the amazing pie-crust edges on the bowls. And it's not long now until they're needed for the first time on Festial's launch day, May […]

Regarding Progress: The exhibition is due to open in 9 days and it doesn’t quite feel real yet. There is a mountain of work yet to be conquered.. I am clear now that I won’t again entangle myself in another […]

On returning home: My first week has been largely occupied by language studies and settling in. The downside to residencies in unfamiliar places is the time spent lost, seeking that which would be easily to hand at home. The upside […]
