Remembering Billy Connelly: We did actually see a St. Bernard the other night, before the snow came. In comparison with its owner it came up inbetween waist and chest height. Looked more like a pony from a distance. We saw […]

What do you do when the viewer doesn’t respond to your work as you want them to? I’ve been spending time in the cafe this week, instead of in my studio, talking to the customers and trying to get them […]
As the chill blows in today, I am concious of the reflections and camera images we have been experimenting with, somehow, sitting here, I am also concious of them reflecting the cold winters of the past upon the house. It […]
Really nice time at the Royal Standard (my studio) Christmas Party last night.. mostly I loved decorating the gallery as a log cabin and making cardboard mountains and of course, the dancing at the end of the night. But it’s […]
Good news! Mediation is set for early January. Apparently, binding contracts can be drawn up on the day if both parties agree. We have been living with this for so long now that the idea of settlement seems like a […]
Snow in Dover – just a tiny bit but enough to make the cars in the road sound different.
I saw this earlier this evening, posted by Susan Jones on twitter: http://www.skillset.org/uploads/pdf/asset_14315.pd… A guide to Internships. Lots of really good rules about pay/minimum wage – worker issues and time limits. So I applied this to the two internships advertised […]

The crit went well, and I got some thoughtful feedback on the work. It feels like a real privilege to have a group of people spend focused time with your work. They seemed to understand it. In our crit format […]
