Little Johny’s Spud Head. I had forgotton all about little Johny’s Spud Head untill it came up the other day. This is a little storey from the mid 90’s explaning exactly what Johny’s Spud Head represents. It happened to my […]
Ok, so much has happened that I do not know where to start! It is easier to start from the beginning, that way I hopefully won’t miss anything out! Firstly I have had a meeting with the Chief Executive of […]

my plan this morning was to get up early and collect more sequence images. didn’t expect what i saw when looking out the window…
I am delving into my personal space, exploring memory and the past, transforming them into my work; the nature of interpretation, subjective versus objective truth. I am re-imagining something, possibly transforming it somewhat, but it remains strongly connected to its […]
We do not need to be educational in any way… I feel more convinced as time passes that we are right in our thinking that the ‘artifacts’ themselves are treated as the patients and that we might resist giving too […]
Growing up in Newcastle, most journeys began with the Tyne and conversely, the river represented coming home. For 12 years in Manchester, a city of railways and canals, the culverted and brick-bound Medlock, has been the only river I’ve seen. […]

21 January – 11 April 2010
Its been another busy week and after a few days where i felt like i was banging my head against a brick wall I finally felt like i could see what I wanted. That doesnt really make working out how […]
I really am the world’s worst time manager; I had been hoping to do a weblog of the poetry collaboration but time keeps slipping away. I have however managed to find out how to upload an MP3 track for it, […]
Happy New Year As it has been Chinese New Year I have been away for the past five days visiting Yan Yans family and friends whom have been very hospitable. It has been strange though arriving and working for a […]
The gallery space is essentially a long corridor and viewers will enter from either end giving two starting points to the exhibition. We met yesterday and quickly looked through all the work seeking possible formats or order for the presentation. […]
I’ve just signed the agreement for the exhibition, so there’s no turning back now. It’s a brilliant opportunity to have a solo show, but it’s very nerve racking, I’m rubbish at talking to people and I’m worried that people won’t […]
It’s 3½ years since I last went to London – It seems absurd, living in Oxford, but there we are, that’s how things have panned out. This week had 2 trips planned, one to see an avant-garde poetry performance, the […]
Ancestor Rituals We visit the Jewish cemetery in Malmesbury, and wander among the headstones, finding our great-grandparents Woolf and Gittel’s graves covered in dust and fallen bark from the bluegums which tower overhead. We collect bark, twigs, earth and weeds […]
Artists Statements Bruce Davies Bruce’s work looks at the sociological aspects of the gallery space, how people react to and engage with the work and the environment in which it is displayed. His work has ranged from fairly large scale […]
words like rocks pound into the ground. the sharp prick of imagined slights beneath the thunder. Yet silence leaves me empty.
Cupid’s clues and the salt army At Malmesbury Museum we interview Trevor Ringqvist whilst the museum’s curator translates between English and Afrikaans. Trevor remembers the Beinart shop but he doesn’t recall the salt pans in detail. He tells us about […]
Well done everyone
my favourite quote at the moment goes like this. making the simple complicated is commonplace making the complicated simple-awesomely simple-that’s creativity. said by charles mingus. my intention with this future focus commission is to offer a space to consider possible […]
So it’s the degree show soon, working on that now. Trying to think about the degree show/ Q-Art’s final show and graduating this June. Trying to look at MA options – have seen a couple, may do an Mres. Something […]
