I’ve been working on an application for the British Antarctic Survey’s Artists & Writers programme. Of course I am proposing not to go and I’m not quite sure how they are going to take it. At the moment it’s a […]

A fine downy layer of frost collected on me as I travelled to the studio this morning.My Dad had been in yesterday, working his magic, adapting the old drawing table to accommodate one of the canvases. Last week he made […]
PRINTMAKING – DAY 4 Back in the print workshop today I've been printing a plan of the allotment showing its "boundaries" and the layout of the beds and paths. Of course, anyone who knows allotments will realise that this is […]
09/02/08 Frosty and clear this morning. It looks unlikely that I will see any snow, flocculent or otherwise. Also I still don’t know what sastrugi are though I’m imagining some sort of corn snack. I woke this morning with a […]

I'm really flattered that Michael Petry has asked me to be one of the artists contributing to a forth coming project of his. The proposal sounds quite beautiful – an installation in a lighthouse on the Norwegian coast. We've been […]

There was such a lot going on in Paris. First the FIAC the counter part to The FREEZE ART FAIR and at the same time LES ELYSEÉS DE L’ART and ShowOff situated at Espace Pierre Cardin, which I guess is […]
I found the art scene in Paris more relaxed and friendly than in London and gallery owners are interested in talking to artists and to seeing their work.There are many areas with galleries in central Paris the most well know […]

I'm dog sitting for a friend and thought it's about time I googled myself – just to see what I've been up to. I found this text work called i_you. It's a performance text – each word is read prefaced […]
A bit of a mixed week… lots of ideas earlier in the week which are all scribbled down so they don't get lost. I've pushed ahead with the background research… I've been trawling through 19th century census results and apportionments […]
I've just been trawling through my iPhoto library uploading pictures and realised there was something I had missed writing about – 'Grace's House'. I came across Grace's house when out walking with my partner some months ago half a mile […]
