This year has been wonderful for personal development, business progress with BloomInArt, funding applications, collaborations and involvement within the local community. I struggle to blog but I have attached a few images to visually tell the story of my development […]

21st October On reflection, I did like how the image became more distorted as it transferred from between one sheet to the other and as they moved slightly in the breeze. This movement had occurred because I had not secured […]

as 16 comes closer to slipping to 17, i think back to a piece of graffiti photographed by a friend.  it stated that no man was an island and he wanted to be that man. why have i recalled this […]

As outlined in previous posts, the direction that ‘Think, Question, Print’ has taken in the latter stages has been disappointing and frustrating. When I received the funding and began planning the project I aimed to devote a significant amount of […]

In earlier posts I’ve described The Shop and it’s place in both the Nelson community and Think, Question, Print. As a resource it’s been fantastic offering a base during my research trips and a pool of local contacts. In September […]

At the beginning of October I met with artist Helen Oxley in Nelson at The Shop. As Helen lives and works locally I was keen to speak with her about Think, Question, Print to hear her opinion on the work […]

I had hoped to have posted about each of the pieces in the project individually but Christmas socialising, collecting work and struggles with photographic images saw my time just disappear this last week. So I have just put a gallery […]

I’ve been working on the first plate of the new series of engravings since Annina sent me a new microscopy file with more detail. I’m pleased that I’ve found a press large enough to print it on, at Spike Island, […]

AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I find myself in a small and rare bubble of time, between the shopping and the preparing for Christmas, and the time when I have to start doing things with food and people and presents… […]

AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I’ve disconnected a little… From the world… This is a self preservation mode I enter occasionally. The fact that this has coincided with Christmas makes it simultaneously sharper, because of the contrast and unfairness, and […]

I am finally emerging from 7 weeks with my head inside the computer! Or that is what it feels like. Mainly writing a funding application for the Arts Council to fund this project. I submitted it last night! Two days […]

I finally got back in the studio today after about 6 weeks! It looked very neat and tidy in there but luckily not so tidy that it was intimidating … … and I’d left a piece to finish off, which a […]

  Semiotics is the study of meaning-making, the study of sign processes and meaningful communication. This includes the study of signs and sign processes, indication, designation, likeness, analogy, allegory, metonymy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication.   Dan Funderburgh, Vigilant Floral.

Recently I have been thinking about how I can physically show the idea of a Vicious Circle. Maybe I cannot, I could physically display the idea of a Vicious Circle as a piece of art work however, I do not […]

Just one more day to go in the crypt. Probably just as well as it’s a strain on the health. I’ve had a lovely stream of visitors, conversations and a meeting. We had a group crit today – most enlightening. […]
