Such a gloomy dark day, no light at all, overcast with a slight rain. Waking up I already felt down in the dumps. I can't understand people who say, "The weather is irrelevant to me." For myself, the weather is […]

I wrote the last post with a heavy heart. Yesterday, as I was walking to the part of town where I grew up, to visit my father, I felt a sense of ease come upon me at the thought of […]

It's a while off yet, but there seems to be a lot of preparation to sort already – passports, visas, vaccination, flights etc. I have started learning Mandarin which is as difficult as I thought – Zai jiang [good bye]. […]

Here are three of the polaroids I found on the allotment – three different tables.

Church bells ring several times a day in Berlin so it always makes me think it's Sunday when it is say, a Tuesday, or a Friday like now. However the difference is that on Sundays itself, the Chapel of Reconciliation […]

Again this week has been full of, as Gabrielle put in her blog, (Exeter Studios) 'stuff' rather than work. Today I decided that deadlines were just going to have to slip. I needed to make something and not post rationalise […]

I am still formulating so many thoughts and digesting events of this week. So much happened and I am forever amazed at the resourcefulness and generosity of people here. The first couple of days were spent contacting various people, mostly […]

This is now my 6th attempt at updating this blog! I dont get what I am doing wrong! Anyway…we built Tunnel, it was amazing to see it all finished, very stressful and I'm in no rush to do it all […]

Arrived home from the studio to a lovely surprise: a parcel from my friend Val Murrary – a copy of Low Tide – Writings on Artists’ Collaborations written by Jeni Walwin. Last week Val and I met in London to […]

Performance piece using a typewriter, memories, poetry and the audience. The viewers could read the writing over my shoulder, or on the pages once I had removed them from the typewriter and placed them on the table.  It was seen […]

Performance Piece from the Mid Point Review. Laptop, projector; table, chair; me, the viewer…and my writing. The writing appears as i think it, as it flows through to my fingers and then down into the keys and onto the screen […]

I have just found out that my proposal has been accepted for one of the "Rules of Game" exhibitions at Surface Gallery, Mansfield Road, Nottingham. It is titled "Double Take" and will be on 15th-19th May 2007. I feel pretty […]

I have recently just seen the initial draft of the advertising poster for our show…and I think it is terrible. It looks as if someone has just found computers and photoshop and used every tacky function in the book..i mean..on […]

advert for our show

I was asked to write a piece for our degree show catalogue…and this is the final piece I have written. I decided I wanted it to be like a stream of consciousness …kind of note like. Writing. Writing…the quest to […]
