What has led to your taking on the identity of a socially-engaged interdisciplinary visual artist? It’s quite a loaded identity to have, isn’t it? I’ll do my best to break that down a bit! I’m your typical idealist; a dreamy […]
end of march, i’ve eaten and it’s still light, time to write a post i thought as i walked into the kitchen with my dinner plate. with the lighter nights comes a happier andrew. for the rememberable past i have […]
there’s a lovely feeling about getting to the point on a friday afternoon when i realise i have the head space and photos to put together a post about my week. after the weekend of discomfort – my week has […]
in my inexperience with social media i’ve arrived at an etiquette stanch to do with following up posts in which i have expressed something in such a way that might make the reader uncomfortable. i think i’m talking about restoring […]
in this post i aim to reflect as well as off load. i need to off load the feelings generated while working within a project. the details of this project are irrelevent as it’s not about the project – it’s […]
i’m awash with excitement – a top feeling – energising – almost bursting. how can this be followed i think? like a surfer standing up i am in that moment and i feel invincible. it’s friday 10:15am. i pause […]

there’s a hub bub of activity in the kitchen as pizza friday is in full swing – i’m waiting for the crowd to ebb before venturing in. i feel in a very reflective mood tonight as earlier we all were […]
something from earlier i forgot to include, formal qualities. i think i missed the lecture or the memo that told me or taught me about the formal qualities. i think i need some help understanding the formal qualities. maybe just […]
i begin writing while dinner preparation is happening in the kitchen. i’ve been treated to an eclectic selection all with the low drone of the cooker hob extraction fan. as i write i hear the inspirational voice of freddie mercury […]
i have to admit to you i’m really uncomfortable about something i wrote about myself in my previous post. i did consider sitting with it all day and writing later. this was going to be too long before trying to […]

we’ve delivered daughter #1 back to college today and now we’re home its all a bit flat and sad. i covered my sad thoughts with mindfulness and concentrating on the driving. thoughts did wander back to a conversation this morning […]
