When embarking on a PhD, there are undoubtedly lots of admin procedures and working methodologies to get your head round. Luckily, the university has specialist training and professionalisation courses for people working in academia. As I noted earlier, the course […]
I forgot to say I recently took part in the Pecha Kucha Night Wakefield Vol. 7:Drawing Lines at The Hepworth I was drawn to it because I really enjoyed seeing Eva Rothschilds ‘Hot Touch’ there last year and the Pecha […]
Discussion with LS (Part 6/6) I just wanted to bring the discussion back to your course and your experiences after graduation? Did you initially find it difficult to find work that was related to art therapy? Not really, I was […]
Discussion with LS (Part 2/6) I’d previously been deliberating a lot about whether or not I could be an art therapist. I generally find that when I talk about it to others they’re never quite sure what it is and […]

Back to my tutorial with Freddie Robins at ZAP, which I found very productive, albeit in unexpected ways. I’m so glad that I’ve got an audio-recording to review, thanks to Rosalind Davis (whose name I’ve never mentioned before … bazinga!). […]
What’s in an artist statement? I think this question is essential to answer – how can one talk effectively about one’s practice without this as a basis from which to work? Artquest says: An artist statement is a short piece […]
A simple case of re-interpretation? (1/2) I’ve never redone before a piece of work that has already been showed. I had restaged an existing production months after its debut and even if some changes were made, some new ideas explored […]

At this year’s Frieze Art Fair in London, Grizedale Arts present an alternative site of consumption.
