Have you been watching the You tube video’s by Mark McGowan? I think you should. http://www.youtube.com/user/chunkymark?feature=wat… Despite all the terrible things going on i believe there is enough goodness to change things for the better. We’ve all been living lives […]

Stumbled across a great article in the latest issue of Garageland, got me thinking again about my last post and familiarity of the self in a painting (and other mediums). The L’eye of the amateur painter by Eleanor Moreton discusses […]

Transferring money internationally…… why is that so difficult? I’ve collected money from the artists exhibiting with us and now I need to transfer it Sweden so that our publicity in the catalogue etc can go ahead. Tried doing it on […]

Christmas post! I haven’t talked much about my work yet, so i’m gonna do a bit of that. So my practice looks at the relationships between poetry and painting; poetics and aesthetics. For me, its to better understand the two […]

I am embarrassed to tell myself that since returning from Burma I have managed to do next to nothing towards any of the show commitments I have for next year.. My elderly mother has been in hospital and that plus […]

Fifty years ago I painted this (an oil painting on hardboard) …… I am not a painter, it was something I did at school – now I work with found objects and in a sense this is a found object […]

A while back (post 7, 4th July, actually earlier on than I had thought) I asked the question “What’s wrong with obviousness?” Because at that time my work did seem obvious, I defended the position, saying that obviousness made my […]

I feel as if I had a day off yesterday, if one can have a day off. I mean, if one subscribes to the view that art and life are the same thing then is there such a thing as […]

New approaches to drawing. I haven’t drawn for ages and ages. Drawing has become defunct in my practice, I rely on photography and writing. I’ve been looking for a new way of approaching drawing, something to make it relevant again. […]

We have a raft of professionals who have written witness statements of truth for our case. They include people qualified in buildings and planning as well as experienced professionals involved in the arts. Our ducks have been lined up since […]

Time is too elastic, and chores are taking ages, the list getting ever longer. Will I get into the studio this weekend? Only if I can squeeze and pinch time in the right places and leave an open pocket of […]

Uni broke up yesterday for Christmas, which whilst I find it frustrating that the studio is closed for two weeks, it has meant that this last week I managed ot get myself into gear and do some more practical work. […]

Scotney Castle: 500 Lies (jigsaw puzzle pieces) Jigsaw puzzles are useful to me: I have a healthy interest in boredom. And c. shops are full of jigsaws. There’s nothing more to this at the moment, just playing around. No concept, […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about community and the sense of belonging that goes hand in hand with it since last writing this blog. Globally of course community is at the forefront of many people’s consciousness – whether it’s in […]

Term ended yesterday for Christmas, and after walking to the seafront this morning I discovered that the studio space was closed (which was a bit gutting really considering all my work is inside and it is the reason why i […]

Some old work done for my (unfinished)* MA at UEL 2009 is included in a new book published this month by Canary Wharf Group plc entitled ‘Sculpture at Canary Wharf: A Decade of Exhibitions’ featuring all the public art shown […]

This work by Enver Gursev, sold last night at a Christmas party in his studio in Nolias Gallery. It was painted 2 or 3 weeks ago. The paint has probably only just dried in the past couple of days. It’s […]
