New Visibility I’ve become newly visible in the university, wearing bright t-shirts that label me ‘artist-in-residence’. I chose this uniform for a couple of reasons: partly because the t-shirt is a good conversation starter with students and staff who […]

Coaching Homework = PLAY ‘I don’t want you to do anything or make any work next time you go. I want you to play.’ This sounded like a strange and forced thing to do – but after thinking about it […]
An Artist investigates the Critical Moment of the Degree Show
A week of intensive work on “Angel’s Nightie” in the studio: both making and thinking. Following on from thinking about the quote from “the Tempest” (Shakespeare) in previous blog, I took my daughters to see the Alexander McQueen show (my […]
In Glasgow, wandering around Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery and the Burrell Collection, “Angel’s Nightie” was never far from my mind. In fact it was pressing down on me with many urgent questions requiring answers. Back in Eastbourne, before leaving […]
It’s been the Easter school holidays. That’s one of my excuses for not blogging lately, but that doesn’t mean that work on my projects hasn’t been almost constant. On the 25th March I travelled up to Glasgow by coach with […]
Following on from the previous blog entry I wanted to write about why I am resurrecting an idea for a piece from 1994. Christmas 2014: I went to Germany to what was meant to be a family reunion and that […]
One of the first pieces I saw when I walked into the Alexander McQueen show on Friday was a white sleeveless top made from polyurethane. “So that’s what that material looks like,” I thought and remembered back to a tutorial […]
On Friday I took the train up to London to go to Soho and buy fabric for the vintage 1917-ish knitting bag that I plan to make for my performance/installation piece “small comfort”. I was looking for fabrics in black, […]
During the Residency my plan is to develop and work on two different projects. One is a piece called “Angel’s Nightie”, a human sized Chrysalis-Body-bag. I’ve already written about this piece a bit on my website: www.walkintomyparlour.com The other piece, […]
It’s already two weeks into my three month residency at the Curious Projects Space in Eastbourne, and if I am to write a blog about my experiences I’d better start sooner rather than later. I wanted to begin by introducing […]
Curious Projects opened affordable studios for artists in Eastbourne in January 2015. More than just working spaces, we aim to create a platform for fostering collaboration, encouraging mutual support, and the cross-pollination of ideas across artistic disciplines. As part of this aspiration, […]

ISIS Arts in Newcastle has just launched Corners, a major European-wide collaborative residency and exhibition programme that will see 30 artists and producers arrive in the North East of England during March.
So its coming up to the end of my residency at Airspace. Very kindly the gallery let me stay on for two months longer, which has been invaluable in terms of really seeing the impact of living in the city […]
As my residency draws to an end, I feel slightly sad to realise that this will the last time I spend so much time in Hestercombe house. The smell and layout of the building has become a familiar dwelling and […]
As we all try and combat the January blues (again), I find it a useful pick-me-up to reflect on the previous year hoping that it will serve up some interesting revelation. 2014 was a productive year for me; I entered […]
