after my clearing post yesterday we headed out into the bright warm day and south to alnwick. now famous for the home of hogwarts, our destination was another famous place – barter books. having written up how i […]
Despite being on holiday I find myself needing to come to this place and reflect upon my attempts to play this week. We’re in northumberland staying in a remote location where the wifi is intermittent. I’ve brought the 360 camera […]
in the life of this commission there are going to be some days where a special one off event takes place. this week saw the first of these – a crane on site to lift steelwork into the second floor. […]
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 […]
as a boy the film oliver had a huge impact upon me – especially fagin played by ron moody. i would spend hours doing the actions with my hands – i was told this when i was older. as we […]
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 […]
is a biscuit better dunked ? i only ask as i had a biscuit and now i don’t. surprisingly this opening line resonates with my ongoing enquiry into the energy of feeling, so much of what i do is in […]
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 […]
i spend alot of time looking out the window while i sit and compose my posts. for the most part the posts are reflective about the last few days or maybe the week. this morning as i prepare to go […]
funny how writing a title triggers a memory of dragons den – not the start of the post i anticipated so i’ll work to bring it back on track. amazing day today – from hoovering to going through the contents […]
bish bosh bash – work, housework and a reprogamme for the snee snaw ( fore fingers ). yes i’m not one to sit around too much ! with the snee snaw i did try to adapt the isadora sketch as […]
feeling incredibly optimistic and positive i start this blog. there’s been quite a turnaround from a week ago, it took some heartfelt conversations and bravery from me. i’m bolstered by getting a wireless sensor working last night before settling into […]
there was a time when charlie brooker presented a review of the year through all the bits of broadcast tv he’d found most weird/annoying/out there somewhere. liking brooker’s writing style meant watching this review was always entertaining and a chance […]
Are you ready? Are you ready for the obligatory ‘let’s-have-a-recap-of-the-past-year’ blog post? Why not start this new a-n blog with a recap of the last year? In terms of Art, without a shadow of a doubt this has been […]
