GoodbyesI have nearly a week left in China, but today is Nina’s last day so we spent it saying good bye and thanking the people we have met along the way. Nina completed her activity at the river bank by […]
It has been a while since I posted on this project: the nature of the exchange process means once the image has winged its way across cyberspace to my sister, I forget about it all until her response hits my […]
I’m not doing a good job with keeping this blog updated, this blog might be like the buses, Wait along time for one…’ etc. Probably the most frustrating part at the start of the project was waiting for the CRB […]
I had the nastiest flu like thing last week you wouldn’t believe it and during this nastiness I had the interview for the residency at the children’s centre to attend. I did think about cancelling but then I decided against […]

The next part of our Professional Practice module is site related drawing. It’s time to get all technical. I’m not srue if I’ll be any good at this. So far we’ve had three different assignments/projects, so it’s been pretty full […]

There’s a fine line between art making for its conceptual purpose and for its commercial value. Janet Hollins’ MA seems to offer opportunities to pursue both, but how does her blog tell the story? Richard Taylor investigates.
We have been working on our plans for the development of Core Gallery’s DIY educate programme. As an artist put it ‘ the sh** they dont teach you at art school…’ http://www.coregallery.co.uk/diy-educate/ Busy too with exhibitions I have work in: […]
Week 6 After a weekend in Bath I entered the week feeling properly recharged. It was nice to get out of London for a couple of days, it definately did me good. Tuesday was quite a long day. I went […]
