My studio is such a mess I've had to move into the big shared area to work. I'd get really wound up if the house was that chaotic, yet I'm very comfortable in my own personal disorder. Anyway – here's […]

So very tired this morning. Workshop in a youth centre in Everton for Tate last night. A very challenging workshop in Everton last night.. a few glimpses of making progress, but mostly it fell flat.. partly down to me overestimating […]

What a thin and brittle thing this balance between practice and living is. I feel like last night made a big crack that will take some time to be repaired. I'm not talking about a plastering over, I mean properly […]

The research continues….. I suffered a medium-sized panic last week while surfing "medical humanities" – its' proponents seem to have carved out a real niche for themselves, and while it's great that there's a journal and a proper discipline to […]

My daughter is made for school. After 2 weeks at school, she made herself a workspace in the living room with table, chair and lamp, sitting there after school making school books for her teddies, marking their work. She already […]

Something funny happened yesterday when I was speaking to my mum on the phone, she was asking questions about my work and I was trying to explain my ideas to her. She became very offensive and argumentative she very clearly […]

Thursday 8 May Setting up the exhibition Michelle Rowley Organising the exhibition was relatively straight forward, even though we did not have all the books ready for the 12 pm deadline. The gallery technicians had everything under control with plinths […]

Faga and I have had a slight hiccup in our plans to meet, in that we are both suffering from mysterious 'flu-like' symptons (shivers, vacumm-heads and kidney pains). And seeing as we both work in the highly contagious environment of […]
