TATE Britain, London On the 3rd June, 2016; I went to visit London, along with friends (artists in their own different ways), to spend the day visiting art galleries and other activities that interest us. We went to visit Tate […]
How far art, if not inspired, has yet been ennobled by religion? I shall not touch upon today; for it both requires technical criticism, and would divert you too long from the main question of all, “How far religion has […]
After looking through my previous works and a suggestion from one of my lecturers, I have decide to recreate famous artists’ works, as part of my influences towards my studio practice and especially for my Dissertation, which I’m looking at […]
I then went on to working from my own resources and started drawing from photographs and this is the first drawing I did. Unfortunately I have lost the photographic evidence for this picture but I am pleased with how it […]
Last year I was given a gopro for my birthday, ostensibly to attach to the dog’s harness but so far I’ve used it in my own video projects. Most recently an ink drawing on Chinese paper filmed with the gopro attached to my […]
Generally speaking I have not been tempted to sit and spy upon people from my vantage point on the rock: there are, quite frankly, more interesting things to look at. (I make an exception for the men spraying marks […]

We have moved house and this has shifted a lot of things. For example, we now have a carpet (circa 1965) which makes for a different kind of floor and I haven’t found a way to create drawings here yet. […]
Some random jottings. The men in the high-viz jackets (from days and days ago) were indeed spraying the road, purely so that I could add to my collection of round things: I also have a collection of poles: and tidelines. […]

AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Oh My! Where to start? Last night’s private view of nine women was fab. It’s one thing to have a great night out, full of friends, music, art, humour, deep conversation and thought provoking […]
