Rain stopped play today. We were holed up in the Chateau most of the day, listening to the rain and the thunder. So we decided to record some audio. We were of course still hearing the bells. After a few […]

We went up into the attic of the Chateau today and, once Hermine had managed to change the light bulb, we were treated to a treasure trove of delights: old political posters, huge ornate frames, endless vases and jars, and […]

Today we went to Paris to check out a taxidermy emporium called Deyrolle. Taxidermy is de-rigueur in these parts and we wanted to investigate it. When we eventually managed to exit Les Halles station (no lie, we were walking round […]

In order to further ingratiate ourselves with the locals, we signed up for a short forestry course today. If anyone can tell us what our guide Alain was on about, do let us know, cheers. It might have been prudent […]

The beginning of July heralded the start of the second part of the MSB residency exchange between Castlefield Gallery, Bloc and Stryx. This time we were with Bloc Projects in Sheffield. A great venue and a great bunch of fellow artists. […]

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve been selected as one of two artists for the AirSpace Graduate Residency Scheme! I’ve been excited all week since I found out, but I did not want to mention it anywhere online until […]

I very pleased to be involved in an upcoming micro residency / group show Residual Projects at South Square in Bradford this December/January. There are 7 artists doing 6 week-long residencies looking at the residual layers of creative spaces and […]

Arriving at the Cylinders Estate; the location of Kurt Schwitters Merz Barn in Cumbria, last Monday was like entering a little bubble. A bubble where life is simple and pure. Fellow artist Alana Tyson and I were to be artists-in-residence […]
