14th January ( http://schediosunrehearsed.blogspot.com/2010/01/14th-january.html ) Late night wavering…. I have a great job, which i adore, and keeps me afloat in more ways than purely financially… but the need to work and earn money/ be amongst lovely people… is increasingly […]

The Study Room I managed to get my train down to London with no cancellations or delays, which I was pleased about. I used the study room at the Live Art Development Agency to research video documentation of artists who […]

Hello friends This week we have a review of Amelia’s Anthology of Illustration on the myspace and blog so please read it, it’s a fantastic book and we also have an interview with Amelia Gregory herself to accompany it. Next […]

I have today recieved Louises book! Immediately I was taken back to Croft Castle and started to think of the different things we did and saw there. I particularly remember the small shed full of used books, in which we […]

Have just got back from a rather hairy photography session. Late last night, when pondering alternative sites to photograph work I had a flash of inspiration. Helga, a patent lawyer, unstoppable socialite and, whenever we do meet up, good friend […]

I’ve been adjusting to a new place. A place with new light and a horizon. Moving from a northern city to a place by the seaside is a significant shift in inself, and daily I reminded of the different light […]

Week 2 of blogging and just realising the importance of reading and commenting on others posts. Enjoyed getting feedback on my work, so will read and comment after this. The week has been tinged with doubt and despondency, as an […]

After leaving the State of the Arts conference tweets alone yesterday, I came back and had a read through them all in the evening. It was interesting stuff, but although full of good soundbites and kindly distilled by the tweeting […]

In other news: I am sick of the TV picture. Here are some images from the Collaborate and Make exhibition I have on at the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool,. It opened last week and was made with school groups […]

January the 15th (again)? I spent a day doodling at work (and doing ‘real’ work..of course)… …i haven’t published all of todays biro activity as some are being sent to friends as post cards… the second (very ropey) doodle follows […]

I’ve started this blog part way through the experience of producing a group show. But it means i can recap – which is always good…. a nice simple run down. We decided we wanted to create a book, as there […]

I’ve joined the C4RD drawing community and used the statement I wrote the other day. http://www.c4rd.org.uk/Site/Clare_Smith.html I’m quite pleased with myself because it’s taken me a long time to get to this point with my work and I’ve written so […]

I didn’t think that the RSA’s State of the Arts Conference would be streamed online as there was no mention of it on their website.. but the tweets (follow #sa10 on Twitter) are just a bit confusing so far. I […]

The one where: I realised I was part of a community where I did’nt actually know anyone. I have just updated my CV with a new line says: AN ‘Artists Talking’ blogger of the year 2009. A Walk with Cosmo. […]

As always the new year is a time for reflection. Thinking about how the project was progressing made me remember a research trip Mette and I took to Croft Castle in November to see the ‘tell it to the trees’ […]

I’m thinking about the presentation of the collagraph…should it be mounted as a triptych or should each piece be pinned to the wall individually and viewed as objects? ; Perhaps they would become lost.

JOHN BALDESSARI Serendipity took me to see John Baldessari at the weekend at Tate Modern. It began on Friday afternoon when I was 20 minutes early to collect my children from the child minder, due to the traffic being lighter […]

In response to Abbi Torrance (thanks for your comment): Is it true that Visual Art specifically, and cultural activity in general, signify group membership or exclusion? Could one argue that art is only valid if it refers to a group […]

cont. JOHN BALDESSARI My sons favourite piece was The backs of all the trucks passed while driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, California, Sunday, 20 January 1963 (1963). I like it too and remember seeing a video remake of […]

These are some shots of Contraction 1 from various angles. Comments are appreciated.
