We had a great time at Vicki Weitz's event last night (Live Art Platform: Picnic in the Church). It was a mixture of performances and installations ranging from a headphone piece recorded in surround sound by Mike Challis, to energetic […]
The fourth week of my residency was quite a different experience from the first 3. It was arts week at the school and I agreed to set up 3 canvases in the studio and do a week long collaborative project. […]
The meeting on Thursday went well. I am very interested in working with what is now being called 'St George's Art Space'. The building itself is atmospheric and wonderful and there is a huge amount of good will driving the […]
Last week, aside from the disappointing events surrounding the Arts Council meeting, have been focussed on finding part time work to support my practice, hence I went for a job interview. Upon the realisation that I need new reliable childcare, […]
Originally a military base, this camp in Rivesaltes (near Perpignan) has a really dark history. It has been used to hide people away, those whom society has rejected. The Spanish fleeing Franco’s regime were put there. Then Jews, along with […]
Our third artist is Stefan Rohner, a Swiss sculptor and installation artist. He will probably be bringing a friend, Bruno Steiger, who is also a sculptor. Stefan's idea is to work with shadows, recreating the shadow on the ground from […]

First day back at college! We were given our brief for the next module. This module is divided up in to three parts. Part 1. is called "An Intimate Ceremony" and we have been asked to research into ritual and […]
On Friday night was Derby's 'Feste' event to celebrate the opening of the new Derby Quad. It was a really good, entertaining night. The highlight for me was Sarruga who are a Spanish street art company. I missed them when […]
I've been thinking about the variable meaning of the word 'political' so that 'making art politically' could mean something very different to you from what it means to me. This situation is of course desirable and it is in the […]
Examining those things we usually overlook.
A selection of a dozen photographs showing boarded up cash machines. Large, close up, heavily cropped and completely out of context; they could almost be abstract paintings. The exhibition is part of the Photo Fringe 2008, which runs alongside the […]
We have also been contacted by a documentary film maker, Tamara Erde, who is interested in filming a sculptor, which is an exciting idea. Her showreel is great. She is going to come and work with one of the artists […]
