The day after the birthday party. Every year I forget, and then on April 6th I remember. 2 days before my son's birthday I start getting flashbacks. My son spent his first 3 days unconscious, with my partner (barely able […]
I am struggling to work out how to do something… how do I give myself a breather, feel happy with the progress I am making as an artist, and stop feeling intimidated by my lists (short/medium /long term ambitions v […]
And So….. I have been working incessantly on a large scale coloured pencil drawing using the discarded piece of basket collected from Nigeria as a template. In my head I am re-imagining and trying to re-create what might have been. […]

Following the stairs, Jil Moore’s glimmering vessels, containing the floating child, the swirl of light, traffic and the reflections of yourself, the streets, bridges and tower outside the goldfish bowl of the gallery. Drawn into this shimmering world within a […]
On 30th April 6-8, there is to be a panel discussion with some of the artists to look at the approach they each took. We could range these from “investigation” to “observer’ to “active engagement” methods in terms of the […]
It seems that I'm the only person interested in sculpture, but I suppose thats nothing new and I should be used to it by now. I think doing a part time MA is a very lonely process; I put in […]
