Experimenting with movement (2015)

As a conclusion and dissemination of my covert residency at the V&A, I am making a downloadable PDF print, cut, fold and make museum box, which can be filled with cut-out printed objects. It’s a museum in a box, curated […]
I successfully applied new tactics yesterday to my train journey project, surveying the left hand side of the journey from Marden to London. Filming the other half of the trip was impossible as one journey pretty much exhausted the camera […]
I’m back! It has been a long time. I’m panicking. I spoke last time about the work with the ballot box; it is something that absorbed me completely during the days I had free to work on it. I completely […]
It has been an extremely busy few weeks for me. I have been getting thoughts and reflections down on paper, but the words haven’t made it to the blog much. Currently choosing work to take to Print Shed to fill […]

The Design and Artists Copyright Society backs calls for an international review of royalty rights for artists.
We, Wallinger’s companions, can also now witness this event. We witness how Petit carefully traverses a point in space that events have since effaced. I am travelling back to my memory of the BBC news footage of 9/11. Wallinger is […]
This is a collection of unprecedented amount… The hoard of contemporary works amassed by the Swiss collector Uli Sligg, is on show for the first time ever, and here, in England.. at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK. Among the […]
Beginning of Residency in MART Gallery, Dublin
And so it’s back to work! What a Summer it’s been. I’ve written about my Summer of love for neurodiversity on my blog, The Other Side, and I’m hopeful that many more people will read the rather extraordinary article co-written […]
Presumably the first of many automatic drawings. Based on a magazine image the body lines appear to correspond with body chakras. My first book to read on the subject will be : Man and his Symbols by Carl Jung
Analyzing myself through my own sexual attraction to others. Attempting to ascertain the difference between human, social and animal attraction…hopefully identified the absurdity of ‘hardwired’ but no longer relevant attractions.
Finally after part self-funding a research trip to Finland, developing the idea over the past 18 months and a second attempt of applying to Arts Council England my project has been funded. I have to start by giving my thanks […]
