This is my third week at Gloucester now and I am slowly settling in. I’ve managed to gather few bits of furniture for the house and have set up my studio. Feels more comfortable now and I can start working.
Every day I have been popping into the Cathedral, to look around and get the feel for the place. They have many volunteers that work and help around the Cathedral, so I have been meeting new people daily, feels like I go around and keep introducing myself but hopefully I’ll soon meet and get to know all.
I had my first meeting with Andrew Stonyer, who is my contact at the University of Gloucestershire, yesterday and when very well. We when out for lunch but this was tricky as there are not many places in Gloucester where you can get a snack, so we end it up in Café Nero.
I have, also started to work on a new project, which will be exhibited at Unit 2 Gallery in Whitechapel, London, in October 2008.

Tomorrow, for the first time I am going to the University of Gloucestershire, at the Pittville Campus in Cheltenham, to loot at they studios and see if there is a possibility I can use one of they spaces for the production and making of the work for the exhibition in London.
