A space for exchange I want to set-up a show and tell style workshop at the 501 studio space as a way of sharing work and ideas. Newworknetwork recently held a workshop at the Wunderbar Festival in Newcastle called Tit […]
This drawing is a symbol, made up by combining several quite separate images/fragments, with little regard for actual appearances but with much regard for the concept. Working with pastel and charcoal…these soft materials give richness of tone and atmosphere, at […]
Bread and Salt Reading the accounts of Jewish migrants who made this journey over 100 years ago, we are struck with their apparent obsession with food. They describe the barrels of pickled herring and potatoes that sustain them through the […]
Arrival On Sunday 10th January 2010, twenty-five days after leaving Antwerp, the Green Cape docked in Cape Town. Our arrival faithfully imitated the journey: nothing was going to happen in a hurry. On Saturday, Table Mountain appeared, distant and hazy […]
Homecoming From the immigration office, we were picked up by Robyn, a friendly tour guide who drove us to our new home in Observatory, a quirky suburb west of the city centre. We arrived at the house in Alfred Street […]
Oh! Darling.. Visiting the State archives on Roeland St, we find our way through the many keys and locks to a bare room with empty desks and piles of brown cardboard boxes. Eventually we suss the form filling system and […]
November 2009 Have stored up two or three entries! So…… going back to the end of November 2009 I received an email from George Gardiner, the Partnership Development Manager for Harlow School Sports Partnership. He was contacting the Head of […]
I have decided to change the title of this blog, because I am struggling with ways to present the content for it. Shifting it around a little untill I find a way that I’m happy with. In the mean time […]

January 2010 Have two pieces which I think will work although nothing like I envisaged creating! My original idea was to work with the idea of ‘objects of sport’, the possibility of the baton being an artwork, the swimming cap, […]

The presentation went well. I decided on both after all. I gave a short power point presentation on a few artists that have inspired me, my art practice and how it relates to the newly tried book alterting. I was […]
I resisted showing this piece for a considerable time, because it is represents such a departure from the direction I had started to lay out for my practice. This is a very personal work: these are miniature facsimiles of some […]
…I started questioning my work.I haven’t been happy for a while with my work, and I think its due to being on a course that is about business. I was seeing things as products: Are they too expensive? What can […]
Well I think the last 5 days have been the worst I’ve ever had. Every second was dominated by worry and doubt. This is due to me getting to a point where there are a lot of decisions to make […]
Sideburn Update I am finding that women are increasingly interested in my sideburns. As I have previously passed through life largely unremarked by the fairer sex I am unused to this new somewhat specific attention.
Cosmic Mysteries III Upon our return, sweating and shaking we discovered Monika in an excited state. She had sold one of my drawings and another customer seemed very interested. I was pushed into her path by my enthusiastic companion (who […]
Well, well, well…. crazy times. Got back from 30deg heat in NZ to nearly 30cm of snow in Reading, nice! Been hiding ever since to get dissertation finished, which was finally handed in on friday, hurrah and hussar, been letting […]
