I would like to nominate myself for the most rediculously overstretched ACE funded R&D project embarked on as far as time goes. My original and neatly formed plan of nine months work has again been extended to now become a […]
Trying to get work ready for the Interim show at the Bargehouse. The space is one of those spaces which has so much character of its own that it will be hard for my work to acquire an independent presence.
Police in Poland have recovered a sign stolen from Auschwitz and arrested five men. The metal sign which reads “Arbeit macht frei” (“Work makes you free”), was stolen from the entrance to the former Nazi death camp last week, sparking […]

I began making new, small, pieces from cardboard, having decided to simplify the forms and continue working with multiples. It also seemed to me that cardboard objects would be relatively easy to scale up and recreate in, perhaps, mild steel […]
