Yet another coat of pale cadmium yellow on image one. [That must make six], and it’s still not quite flat. I think I’m going to have to accept it. If I apply more paint I run the risk of losing luminosity. […]
Exploring the roles and reasons of selected organisations dedicated to widening access to the visual arts through commissioning temporary and permanent interventions in non-gallery spaces in the first of a two-part feature.
I think that a-n has been extremely unfair in the matter of Andrew Bryant. First you print his unbearably smug blog, allowing us to marvel at his crass and derivative musings. Then, of all the letters of protest you must […]
hi this postcard started with Linda Davies and I have added to the bottom corner ( a little tentative I know but I wanted to leave plenty of room for everyone else) caroline x
The Robin’s flown the nest…..managed to escape! I’m sorry I had him for such a long time…….not going to show you what has happened to him…….you’ll have to wait and see when he arrives on your doorstep. He has taken […]
Installation day 5 and work is strating to take some shape now. I am hoping to have most of the pieces hang by tusday and then adjust and join all the work by the end of next week. The work […]
I have been very bogged down in sorting out the printing of invitations for the concluding exhibitions for the residency. As always I wish that just when one needs to get on with finishing off work (ie artwork) one didn’t […]
oo i had forgotton what my print looked like, thanks for posting that heather, i wonder if there will be anything left of the leaves when i see it next? i find it interesting that everyone seems less concerned with letting go […]
I’m here. I mean, I have been here for 3 months, and I feel settled now. It still feels quite bizarre, I can barely get my head around it. It’s been an ambition to come here for a long time, […]
Well into the installation week now and things are moving very slow. I have made some decisions on how to install the work and instead of a tunnel there will be a walk-in – walkway structure, almost the shape of […]
I was going to let this blog die a natural death, but it seems HMS has generated a lot of interest. It’s not long since I returned from the studio providers conference at Spike Island, Bristol where I realised HMS […]

Not much to report on the ‘audience development’ front. I have to admit to feeling a bit jaded about the whole thing. However, the new Kalender is with the printer now, and I’m hoping to pick up the completed job […]
WHAT STAYS, WHAT GOES, WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND? Private View: Dan Davies, Jack Lavender, Hannah Lees, Marco Palmieri, Siobhan McGhee, Polly Read.
Thursday 6th December This morning I took full advantage of the rain: I attached a contact mic to the old metal lamp I found in the photography studio and put it outside to collect the sound of the raindrops. It […]
Thursday 6th December I’ve just got back from my little resonance experiment. As I suspected the stairwell supports a lot of harmonics, and with my basic equipment I didn’t get the root frequency as such. I did however note down […]
From the drawings canvases where produced keeping clear communication with the viewer by: • Exploring size of canvas to compound feelings, mood and emotion • Using colour to enhance understanding and clarity • Bold minimal lines outline the seriousness of […]
I got two prints through yesterday and i’ve just sent one off to jan. I found the image so beautiful as it was that it was hard to know what to do with it. I decided to scan and photocopy […]
