i talk to much (and also I’m really hungry) so today I’m going to resist the temptation to talk about what I’m doing and I’m just going to share some images.

A number of photographs have come into my possession recently. They seem pertinent to the unfolding of this narrative so I have published them here with brief explanatory texts.

We’re off to London tomorrow. Not to see the queen this time, but to attend an annual conference of art-studio providers. I’m expecting to glean huge amounts of useful, practical and inspirational material form this day, and although I’m still […]

I have recently started painting outside and why did I not before? Painting Plein Air (in the open air in French) has been and is still a revelation. It has made me think more aboiut what I am doing, made […]

The exhibition opened last Thursday and it was a great party, loads of people and loads of chat. But do people ever actually look at the work at openings?? Also, this exhibition was about getting the work seen in order […]

I watched ‘The Art on your wall’ on BBC2 last night and it raised some interesting points. Sue Perkins approached the subject as a typical home-owner who wants to decorate her house with pictures. She made a distinction between artists […]

After our residency at Nant Gwtheyrn I asked Alison if I could do some work with one of her lino cut plates that I really liked and felt inspired by. If Alison agrees I think we could work towards making […]

as i prepare for the open dialogue in Nottingham tomorrow, i recover from a period of deep frustration. the frustration comes from my disability. an invisible disability. one that i am increasingly having to admit to myself just how it […]

Back in London … Today I sent the landlords my notice on the studio. I’ve also started to sort out what I want to keep and what I can throw out or re-cycle. This afternoon I recycled two big Ikea […]

Sarah Lucas told Tracey Emin she had better be an artist because there was nothing else she could do – so says Emin in an interview re The Shop she and Lucas opened. I have usually found a sense of […]

I mentioned in one of my posts the other day about a piece of writing which I read when in India. Well, I thought a good starting point would be to share this. The book I was reading at the […]

Did Damien Hirst start it all? Our fascination with animals, stuffed and frozen in time, like a three dimensional movie still, has been running through our blood for hundreds of years. No Damien Hirst didn’t start it all, he just […]

17th Nov. Now on last leg of the RESIDER/RESIDE project and am feeling more than ready to get the last lot of work installed and firing on all cylinders. Almost everything is ready but am a little nervous about how […]

At last. This morning my copy of ‘Searching for Sebald’ arrived on an inter-library loan. A beautifully produced collection of essays and photographs edited by Lise Patt. It costs thirty quid, but is 650 pages of luxury. I have only […]

I have been consorting with the idea of how labels for a work can also be works in themselves: and how such works get to forward and re-locate an idea past its presented state – a visual definition is aided […]

It’s here! The wait is over! The studios have a bright red settee, and it’s a thing of comfort and beauty!

My anxiety is at its most heightened right now, with two confusing tutorials under my belt, I am now on week 3 of doing no work. I’ve tried to look at this positively by focusing on my research and writing […]
