AUDIOBLOG – Please click here This has been a long break without posting… Much has happened! Another two performances came and went… The first one was on Sunday afternoon on local radio. I’ve done a couple of spots on local […]

It was an absolute pleasure to meet with Klas and Lovisa this morning. Lovisa actually invited me to meet with them after I briefly mentioned an idea that I had when we bumped in to each other outside of the […]
After being at the launch / vernissage on Thursday I am both inspired and envious! Why? Because he gets on and does what he does, he makes it happen – if there is one thing that I never quite seem […]
Monday 17th October I am finally on my way to Montreal to meet artists and visit galleries for Cicatrix. I should arrive at the flat I am staying in Mile End, Montreal this evening. The area is reputed to be […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I don’t often post twice in one day, but I’ve been having technical issues with Soundcloud, which have just been resolved, so before it all goes pear-shaped again, thought I would post this, that […]

A beach hut show-and-tell Red, blue and yellow beach huts – Dawlish Warren Promenade 11am – 5.00pm Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October Work in progress arising from a new collaboration between Megan Calver, Susie David and Gabrielle Hoad with […]
Written by Susie David Here we are at high tide, high summer on Dawlish Warren. One side of the spit is opaque jade sea, boisterous with high waves and high winds looking mischievous …dangerous even. A few people standing on the […]
Susie David writes. The Warren today is floriferous. Floriferous, meaning many-flowered says Megan. None of us can say it. How to spell it? Floriferrous? — A suffix slightly prone (prone) to rust? On this spit of land jutting out to sea (see) with its […]
Write up on Collaborative Practice from a 20 minute seminar.
The final days of the collaborative print residency at Kala art institute in Berkeley, California were full of productivity and decision making. We decided on a title for the series of prints, while also editing the selection from 20 to […]
With the final week of our residency in front of us, we both individually and methodically responded to the final prints in the collaboration. Each of us left our most challenging contributions to the last few days in the studio, […]
Am stuck at the computer with a painful shoulder and painful leg so thought a brief update on activity might be a good distraction and more fun than tidying my office… I organised my first open studio with studio colleagues and three invited […]
Megan Calver and Gabrielle Hoad write: Posted by Susie David As we start to think about how to develop work arising from Dawlish Warren, we’re asking the question: “what do non-artists get out of collaborating?” So we were delighted to have the opportunity […]
As the collaboration progressed, we both conferred about the development of our responses. On several occasions we felt stuck, or frustrated that the idea we had wasn’t working in print. At these times we talked it through, eager to glean […]
As soon as we exchanged our prints I felt comfortable about responding to Guillaume’s work. The prints were open and left space enough for me to have a dialogue within them. There were a few prints that I initially found […]
Arranging a meeting to talk about future projects, little did I think that June 24th would be a problem. I don’t think we expected to be in such a disappointed, sad and uncomprehending mood – it can be hard not […]
In creating prints, I often have the finished image in mind before setting out creating it. I don’t naturally work in this way, but many printmaking methods require this kind of planning and preparation, especially woodblock printmaking. With this collaboration […]
