I’ve been re reading my initial blogs on a-n. Trying to discover some progress, development in my thoughts and achievements in art and life. Some aspects remain constant – lack of self-belief both in life and my art but there […]
Super Cup Biennial qualifying draw matches to be played on Wednesday… Pointeso boss getting angry already…
Exhibiting at Platforms Project involved invigilating in our exhibition space 8 hours a day for 4 days. As such, it afforded me a lot of time, and I sought to utilise that time effectively to contemplate and theorise on new […]
I am working on the theme of motherhood. Looking at the emotion and bonds that connects a woman and a child. At the beginning of the year, I made a few pieces of work on the subject. I started looking […]
On the 21st of June, I’m showing some work at the Width of Circle, a new, artist-led, gallery, studio and teaching space in Stourbridge on the furthest western edge of the Birmingham conurbation. Solstice is a collection of drawings made by […]
Studio-Intensive Day 9 Well, last day of my plan. It has been a headlong, packed week that is intended to project my development forward. Forwards and upwards. Would have liked more feedback and input but, the nature of things is […]
In Brief: News briefing featuring national and international stories including: Frieze New York exhibitors offered 10% refund after extreme heat, and Switzerland and Luxembourg Venice Biennale representatives announced.
For his exhibition, ‘CAPSID’, John Walter draws on his time as resident artist of infection at UCL where he collaborated with structural virologist Professor Greg Towers.

A digital archive of my residency at Ritherdon & Co – a manufacturer in Darwen- to produce a commission for The National Festival of Making that took place in Blackburn on the 12th and 13th May 2018.
Skulpture Project Munster gets it right. 10 years preparation well spent in between each of its iterations. Many of the public works commissioned by the project continue their life in the public realm after the official 100 days of the […]
The draw has taken place and we’re all set for the qualifying knock-out on Wednesday evening. Pundit A: ‘I can see all the big guns goin’ through to the group stages. I was hangin’ out with the Tranquilayers executives earlier […]
Hello Fans, so what’s new? Well with me, a shiny revamped website. I decided to go with images from the Spode works in an attempt to ‘build’ the atmosphere of my working environment. You may recognize some of the images […]
My ambition for Scents of our Time in 2018 was simply to get it exhibited somewhere. A reasonable enough goal for a project in its infancy, and I’m happy to announce that it will be showing in 2 places in […]
Scents of Our Time aims to reveal the capacity contemporary candle making has for social comment and responsive creative action.
This week’s selection of must-see shows includes the 250th Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the latest edition of Whitechapel Gallery’s London Open triennial, Lubaina Himid’s banner-like paintings in Gateshead, an exploration of ‘universal collective memory’ in Bristol, and a new exhibition at Tate Britain marking 100 years since the end of the first world war.
The Oceans Apart exhibition at MMU Special Collections Library was curated by Dr John Gibbons from his personal collection of items and manuscripts relating to transatlantic crossings between 1870 and 1940. John kindly met with me last week to talk […]
