I have decided to enter only the two larger works into the degree show, i think this in effect is enough to show my concept, the two works are large and demand attention and adding anything more would only dwarf […]
I painted the floor yesterday, left it overnight to dry and popped back in today to set out the black metal box that I want to stand on the floor. After several moves I have settled on this and took […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Here I sit, procrastinating. These guitar strings are still threatening to take my eyes out. I have made about six cups of tea, and drunk three and a half. I’ve been up to the […]
