  I ain’t no blogger it turns out. I do sketch and I scribble thoughts and this is what I wanted to transform into forms which I can not create by hand! I want to create casts within casts, writing […]

I am loving it here in Seoul. Admittedly I was a bit frazzled even before I boarded the plane, having completed the final event for the Landscape : Islands project (that has been going on for 14 months) a mere […]

Equinox 1 Equinox II The paintings are completed for this project, the artwork will be stored for the winter to exhibit next year sometime, hopefully Spring. It’s been an interesting project for me because of the way painting activity coincided […]

End of day three and the topics we covered were varied, exciting, challenging, supported. A conversation of trust linked to a conversation about failure and specifically healthy failure which connects to art practice so clearly. As an artist I make […]

I have had some comments as to whether I, as an atheist anglo saxon, [possibly of viking genes as I have that blood group] should be nailing a muslim veil on a naked female figure. Is this reference to covering […]

I am very lucky to have my sister (Emma) living in Finland and on my most recent trip I was excited to find out that my favourite artist Ernesto Neto was exhibiting in Kiasma, Helsinki and I had to go! […]

At a few minutes before 3:22pm (central European time) yesterday I put my British passport along with the printed and signed copy of my online application for Swedish citizenship in to the post. Yesterday marked five years, to the day, […]
