We are excitedly planning our 2010 activity and getting the funding applications sorted. We received funding from NAN towards our activities and are planning a trip to the Southern counties, hopfully the research trip will inform the development of our […]

I’m exhausted, the good news is that’s it’s fitting together well and Alison and I got most of the work up today. We’ve got more work to do tommorrow but it’s looking good. Alison has been taking photos along the […]

Discovering Malawi. I don’t really feel like making art. I really don’t feel like making art with other people either. But as a professional with obligations and agreements in place you can’t just have ‘an off day’ or two, you […]

Well, my exhibition is down and there is a feeling of sadness. What to do with the work now? only a little sold but that I attribute to the fact that people are relunctant to buy something that has the […]

Well, the bed sheets have apparently elicited much comment and no one has asked us to take the exhibition down on the grounds that they are unframed. Nor has the Tallit been deemed unsuitable or offensive. I seem instinctively to […]

To say that I was saddened to hear of the death of Actor Corey Haim would be a slight exaggeration. To be brutally honest I cannot recall which one of the “Lost Boys” he played. Discovering however that he died […]

The process of making images of the diminishing spaceman has thrown up an interesting distraction. Before I blow and brush the surplus gold dust away, the disapointing man is hidden behind a sort of cosmic cloud, a precious spillage far […]

Poison! “St George’s Day is on the 24th April (‘our May 6th’), and the night before is, by tradition, a Witches’ Sabbat.” (Quoted from Bram Stoker’s working papers for ‘Dracula’) Contentment is a fugacious state in Saint George’s street. New […]

Did Alexander the Great find it a difficult combination, discussing philosophy with Aristotle and charging at the head of the Hetairoi into a phalanx of spearmen? I certainly have found it problematic trying to edit a phd while watching the […]

I am injured! I have had a bicycle accident! I fell in a pot hole about 1 foot wide and 2 foot deep on Peckham high street. I fell on my chin and gashed it open, same goes with my […]

Monday – and started by waiting in for the postman to deliver materials that didn’t come, rubbish. Was planning to work with those this afternoon in A Foundation, but maybe tomorrow. Just wanted to flag up this: http://www.longhouse.uk.com/artist-projects/in-con… This is […]

We are pleased to announce that Helen Scalway has been selected as our artist in residence for 2010. She will be based at the studio at St George’s Church in Esher working on her project until the autumn. More information […]

As may be guessed by the long interval between posts, I have had other things on my mind lately, but suddenly the long-anticipated but not really expected deadlines are unnervingly very close at hand. Next week we have the “workshop” […]

The final presentation of the work will hopefully be seen as incredibly simple, but the complexity will be contained within the text- typed on the blog, pierced on the paper and projected onto the wall. Another day of playing with […]

Rather than one long projection, or one shorter piece put on a loop, would it be better to make a series of still projections…10 or 15 minutes in length? This way, different viewpoints can be achieved; some shots could be […]

On with the research paper then. Lacan and the gaze. In the meantime have been busy in between periods of grogginess. DAD has set up a temporary ‘story shop’ in an empty venue in Dover where we will be collecting […]

Lately I’ve been re-reading ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’, because it’s sometimes labelled ‘the first great Surrealist novel’ … and I’m curious (and curiouser) to see what might happen if I were to keep a theme at the back of my […]

Eight weeks and counting until the end of my time at Wolverhampton. At the moment I am making some glass handles with internal textures inside them, like hands holding the handles. They seem to be going well but not too […]

Metal, Tea and Blogs This evening Helaine invited me to tea along with Maria Gamundi and Shelley Robzen at her studio. It was so lovely and really interesting. I felt privileged being allowed into an inner sanctum with these 3 […]

I’ve been in work today so haven’t had much time to get anything done, but this evening I’m still writing the statements as well as having the odd treat of framing some work! Tommorrow Alison is picking me up with […]
