Statement is done; Amisha sent me the proof of the invite to look over, which was quite exciting. I couldn’t decide on which image to use so sent a few for her to choose from. She went for the one […]
Jeez…10 days have passed without me blogging. How did that happen? I have been so busy writing away that I'm sure I have been absorbed into a timewarp. In fairness, I've been ill (again) as well – being ill eats […]
Now all the work has been selected for our Australian exhibition we are looking to refocus and possibly regroup. We have some new members, and new potential members as well. Watch this space for developments! AC
It seems like a long time since I last wrote. Since then a whole heap of things have happened, on a very personal level. The thing about art though, it is so very personal, it's impossible, for me anyway, to […]
CONFIDENCE & CONNECTING – Monday I attended the Air Time 09 and A-N Open Dialogue at Castlefield Gallery. I came back buzzing with information, ideas and a something I've never experienced… being around so many artists. If you've gone to […]

suffering from "passive stress" like passive smoking, but you start absorbing other people's stress. I am beginning to think I should have explained the word "contingency" to my fellow students, as the opportunity to factor this into their plans, seems […]
My son has made a fantastic video of my performance, time to get that bootleg video editing software installed. My daughter enthralled the audience by making weird noises into the microphone. Simply having children has a dramatically soothing effect on […]
My research for this project aims to develop new insight on well-being here on earth by looking out to the Universe. In rural areas we can see the stars and the heavens more clearly than in the cities. When we […]
