Swings and roundabouts…. I’m now getting very adept at finding money saving offers. From saving a £1 here and there by getting a certain bus to work for example, to cutting out coupons – something I thought I’d never do! […]
some random photographs taken on my mobile, I’m not sure why but they have a strange ethereal quality.
Cooler air. The right hand side of the building now muffled by a large black plastic sheet. The building has a cupped hand over one ear.. Thinking about the order of remembering and sound loops.. A circle, a metal bowl. […]
I heard back from Creekside Discovery Centre. They ARE interested in giving my structure a new home! As a bug hotel for the kids to clamber upon and observe from all sides. I love that idea! Why not? More and […]
As I become increasingly immersed within my ‘Every photo we took at the beach’ series, I can not help but recall the photographs of Martin Parr. Whilst his images of a seaside resort past its prime are quite different to […]
Outer Pointesian new art Topography. You needn’t mourn the lower Pointeso art scene, all but gentrified out of existence. Today’s Left Vale artists are just a subway line away from the major downtown galleries, in areas where business park start […]

Val Bolsover and Jo Brown Contemplating the lines previously interpreted as music we have now embarked on north- south explorations of landscape and nature which abound with lines of contour and grain. We are exploring processes which one partner uses […]
As if on cue, my washing machine began spewing water from its base at the weekend. I caught it all with towels and newspapers (thankful of my hoard) before any damage was caused. I’m trying to stay positive – it […]
2 YEARS IN 68 PAGES Inevitably projects run their course and you start thinking of other work. That is certainly the case for me. That doesn’t mean though I have totally put down this project. My Rink Ballroom book is […]
No images today, just tweaking bits of tape into final positions. It is interesting that even a small amount of change alters the whole dynamics of the installation. Working on gathering all the words, sound pieces and images that I […]
ANOTHER PROJECT… ANOTHER PROPOSAL, AND A SATURDAY SALON Alongside my Improbable Experiments With Growing Stones, my curatorial project for Phoenix Brighton continues to slowly take shape. Based around the question, “What difference would it make if we never died?”, the […]
Week 67: 23rd – 29th DecemberAfter last week’s exploration into artistic forms of research mixed with concepts of quantum physics and philosophy, I thought it might be time to consider again the nature of interdisciplinary practice, particularly in relation to […]

Recently I launched a new artists’ book ‘A Parlay’ at Leeds Art Gallery. The book is the outcome of a rather longer than expected project that I began just under a year ago. I’ve written about it before on my […]
So as stated in the description I am trying to start the first Arts Trail in my local town. I have already come to the conclusion I may be more than a little mad. My reasons for attempting this are […]
As mentioned in the last blog post I had my final meeting with curator Judy Adam funded by the re:view bursary. Plenty had happened since our last meeting and I had been continually updating the sticky note on my computer […]
I must say life is getting more hectic by the day!!! I had a meeting today and have arranged an exhibition at Aspex Gallery Portsmouth from May 5th to mid June. This exhibition goes up the day after I have […]
