I’ve been working on a series of chemo day drawings which I do when I am actually at the chemo unit on my drip and sometimes can’t actually see very well. The paper is thin so each drawing I make […]

Last week we went to our Penistone venue The White Heart to do line checks in advance of our launch next week. On the way over we saw a double rainbow which reminded us of our late friend, who we’re […]

  It is the final weekend for M. On Monday morning I shall drive a hire van over to Uppsala and with the help of Henny, the Art Cube’s artistic leader, pack it up and bring it back to Enköping. […]

Marl, in the height of its use in agriculture, was commonly described as a treatment for ‘exhausted soil’. It was not therefore recommended as a general accelerant or helpful addition to healthy, fertile land. It was rather, applied in times […]

I cannot express the benefits of sharing practice and space with artists whose main discipline is different from my own. Taking myself out of the context of the UK to consolidate my own methodologies was needed to further enhance my […]
