AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I don’t know if it just me, but it might be worth saying to other people embarking upon a big project, publicly or self funded: you will need extraordinary personal resources. There isn’t a box […]

Spent the afternoon in the studio, got plenty done. Currently working towards two London shows in July and August. I will give out more details soon

Today in the studio, a bit on the cold side…no central heating. I’ve also been given some sand from a middle-eastern dessert. Not decided what I’m going to use it for yet. Presumably something rich in meaning and conceptual etc.

Last Wednesday I showed my studio to about eight artists who are interested in taking it.  The one who has been on the waiting list longest will be offered it.  It has been a great studio and I hope that […]

Meeting Elena was like catching up with an old friend!  And we have carried on chatting away via email this week too.  She is as every bit passionate, humorous, insightful, and intelligent in person as she is on-line.  Over a […]

  Perhaps because I do not have my own home my studio has had a very significant role in my life since moving to Sweden.  It is not only where I come to work, but also a sanctuary when I […]

This week, I have got to that stage where I am in dire need of a brew. My trusty callus protector is doing a fine job but I have been denying myself breaks from drawing, which has lead to a […]

Reflecting on my visit to Polly Cruse’s studio, my own work space is about as far from the domestic as i can get it. I don’t  have a kettle – I can’t begin the entertain the idea of making tea […]

I had a few hours in the studio today… more time in there than I’ve had for a while. The wind was howling round the building and I could see the protective roof sheets rising and falling as the wind […]

It appeared that I have chance to get and use a studio in University. I am here for two weeks, and I have at least opportunity to have a studio. I feel I am lucky one! :) This will be […]

I was told I would probably be able to drive about four weeks after the op. Well it is four weeks today and I’m not. Well… a nearly-lie… I drove about two miles yesterday. It wasn’t good. Felt decidedly wobbly, […]

I got back in the studio last week after a busy period including my Merz Barn residency and a number of exciting commissions. I started the week by dismantling an old piece of work in order to retrieve some custom-made […]

Fifteen days since the knee op. Can’t drive yet… another couple of weeks probably before I can get back behind the wheel. I am climbing the stairs, one at a time, good leg first, like a toddler. I can walk […]
