I am disappointed today. I always thought Critical Network was quite a critical sort of network, given their views on the olympics and all… This was in their bulletin today or yesterday – thanks to Tracey Eastham for reminding me […]

The beginnings of a conversation…. For the last six months, the “medium” of the blogosphere has opened up a space for a critical and analytical dialogue between me and my work. A harmonious cycle is created where, while the blog […]
The weeks are passing so quickly. It feels very late to mention the snow sculpture workshop again but I just want to say that the two days out on the field were great. The weather was perfect – cold and […]
After much deliberation and almost combining challenges I have selected the following challenge for March: “To list and act appropriately towards all the people to whom you owe apologies. I am not challenging you to write letters to every single […]
The fact that we artist-bloggers don’t just moan on and on endlessly about time and money is pretty incredible really. I know most of us (me included) have an ongoing battle with allowing ourselves any decent time in the studio […]

I have received a message, there is a full moon over Whitstable tonight and an unusually high tide. Here the wind blows stronger by the hour forcing the trees to an uncomfortable crouch. Forecasts are such that we may soon […]
CAGED! Disappointingly there have been no news reports of strange weather nor shipwrecks at Whitstable. All seems strangely calm in Ipswich too. In truth strangely is perhaps the wrong word to use in a Town whose newspaper headline this morning […]
The Easter holidays have begun, which means 3 weeks to our first assessment and still very little actual work to speak of. Essay was handed in yesterday, so that one’s behind me at least until my feedback session and so […]
I thought I’d be drawing madly after my essay was handed in but no I’m trying to organise my research folio that has to handed in end of April. However i’ve been side tracked by thinking about the use of […]
This is from a very over-exposed photo of ‘Meditation’ at the Musee Rodin in Paris. I think it’s one of the nicest places in Paris. Other cool places to go are The Catacombs, the Pere Lachaise Cemetry, and the Pompidou. […]
