I spent a week in the studio at the De La Warr pavilion about 18 months ago. A whole 7 days. It was to be a heavenly chance to explore my return to Bexhill on Sea after a year of […]

The shoot at Wells over, I now have the task of working out how best to use the footage. My embryonic editing skills are being severely tested but with the help of a technician at UoS I’m getting there. The […]

I’ve been in touch with Pells Pool writer in residence, Tanya Shadrick, for over a year now. Since almost the start of her project we’ve been excited by each others work, noticing similarities in process and interests. I didn’t get to meet […]

Drawings made at the end of a series of dives collecting data on biodiversity, counting indicator species in the Bay of Roses, Spain. On the back of my slate I began to experiment with, what I thought, was a better […]

Piddocks making holes in stones and worms casting spirals.

A morning walk. Three men looking for lugworms and me. It’s low tide but turning. On it’s way out stones were dragged across the sand, the sea taking what it could. Springs further up the shingle erupt and run down to meet […]

Drawings of life along a rock face. 20m depth, air getting low, waiting for Max and Sarah to complete their transect lines. Counting urchins, spotting sea squirts, finding new familiarity under water, recognising markers. I’ve been here before. There are […]

A starfish, bryozoa, sea grass. Lines do not connect, graphite traces describe little of what was seen but leaves an impression on the slate. The physical act of holding steady and drawing, mostly without taking my eyes from the subject. […]

‘The art work that goes wrong’ Yesterday I went to see ‘the play that goes wrong’ and it was hilarious. It struck me that there was a resemblance between the work I have made this week for Revolution and Resonance […]

I work in the De La Warr Pavilion galleries as an invigilator and during my shifts I have time to reflect on the work around me and naturally I drift into how it influences my own work. This is valuable […]

Over the last week I’ve been trying to clarify, simplify and break down my practice and refocus the qualities. What is the work? What is its purpose? What’s its clarification? How do I read the work or how the work […]

Having fun one day experimenting with drawing inks by painting water onto paper first then adding drops of ink to the wet patches in order to see how it would react, some beautiful patterns emerged. However, this got me thinking […]

  Day five was mostly spent walking through the landscape and exploring, starting in the woods an venturing round to the sundial and harbour before ending up at the beach in the late afternoon. I tested the waterproof capacity of […]
