In essay mode now. We’ve been told we need the 1st draft in by the 23rd March. I have only just started it! The essay helps make sense of the work in words, but its hard to do the art […]
A little plus. Some time ago I entered a self portrait in an Ovendenarts online competition!! A book has been published of some of the entries, (compiled by Craig Kerrecoe), including this. You can see a preview of the first […]
Nail-biting final arrangements with our artist in residence for the 2010 residency at St George’s are taking place and we hope to soon be able to announce who will be with us this year. Meanwhile some thoughts and images from […]
Thursday, 25 February 2010 “Dear AlexDo I deduce from your blog that you are planning an imminent visit to Whitstable? It would be good to meet up, and to think more about possible venues for your work (venues are not […]

I’ve been having one of those weeks / most of the month when my brain just feels like cotton wool. Trying to pin down a cohesive thought has been nigh on impossible. So instead of rushing off to the studio […]
Didn’t go in yesterday, I had a terrible headache so I spent most of the day lying on the couch. Today has been much more productive though. I’ve continued working on the lung tissue prints, painting into them, waxing and […]
I’ve changed the images that where white layered card to cream. They look much better now against the mounts. I’ve been working on some prints but I don’t know if I’ll get them finished in time.
Just when I thought my brain was going to explode with frustration a lovely lady has helped me out with getting the equipment I need to produce my video! A day spent with an awful (stress) migraine in bed has […]

I had a little bit of an afternoon off – or at least out of the Foundry… Pietrasanta feels a bit like being a student again, where you can just cycle over and pop in to visit people! After lunch […]
I keep looking at the Arts Council consultation and trying to do it… but there’s so much reading to it and I have too much report writing to do for YSP at the moment. http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/consultation/taking-… You can have your say […]
Paint, pigment, canvas, aluminum, resin. I’m presently consumed with having to think about the technicalities of how to actually make what I paint and paint on. I have just started to paint with oils following comments in my recent assessment […]
