During last week (17th – 23rd) there were a couple of art events. An opening at the Palette Gallery featured shallowly decorative paintings, with quotes from philosophers and statesmen printed on the gallery walls, inviting us to see the work […]

Well, it’s the final instalment, though I may break it into 2 or 3 posts to allow adding more pictures. I’m on the plane heading home, just as the Delhi climate starts to become pleasant. I’ve got a trip to […]

How the world has speeded up!Decide this Monday morning I would have to "bite the bullet" and approach the Welsh Heritage Lottery Fund for money. So I "googled" the site looking for a phone number to ring up. Instead I […]

I’ve had a stressful couple of weeks – getting used to the new routines with John’s NG tube. There have been numerous meeting with various specialists. Although it saved him from immediate danger I was left in no doubt that […]

Two Artists in Residence on an Allotment – Day 1 – Rain, rain, rain. London and Southeast England: Cloudy, with a little more rain or drizzle for most. This Evening and Tonight: Cloudy skies generally, with outbreaks of drizzle and […]

LAST THINGS FIRST Despite my lucky 3 leaf clover it teamed with rain. Rain I wished for over the summer to swell the vegetables arrived today. Plans turned back to front – we worked inside on the kitchen table, printed […]

Continuing thoughts So, the research now has a number of strands. The audio recordings are my direct, empirical experience ‘in the field’ [or rather in the parks of Beijing…] where the crickets and cicadas are singing in public spaces. These […]

Well, the installation is duly installed and I think it’s OK. I’ll get a better idea tomorrow evening which will in effect be the private view for the Dragon Hall exhibiting artists. It’s a ‘sponsor’s party’ and performance evening in […]

October 1st   Catch train to Oxford to perform with Signdance Collective.

Crash bang wallop: in the process of moving pictures from studio to gallery there was a slight mishap.  We shifted the pictures using a taxi, the taxi guy helped to unload the pictures at the entrance to the art centre, […]

I’ve just eaten the allotment. It is inside me. For supper I had mash made from the last of the potatoes, greens: spinach, curly jack, sorrel and oriental greens, and a yellow courgette. As well as providing food for the […]

Folk Art I've been thinking about this a bit as I came across this link http://www.tramp-art.com/folk_marquetry.htm . I'm not really sure whether there is a difference between Outsider art, folk art, tramp art or other definitions. I do think marquetry […]

September 29th and 30th Attend the ‘openspace’ event at the National Youth Theatre in London. Leave the word FILL

I am currently collaborating with an architectural practice in relation to an educational building in Clapton Road, Hackney. There is a small percentage for art. I was therefore approached to think about how we could utilise two large long rectangular […]

I arrived at L’H du Siega on Saturday the 15th of September 2007, by car. It seemed easier at the time, I was packing and bringing most of my belongings and preparing for three month being away from home. It […]

CHECKING MY BOUNDARIES My recent work has been concerned with location and locating oneself; finding one’s place. A little while ago I worked on a project in which I was looking at strategies which blind and visually impaired people use […]

Golden Week – Full Moon Festival and National Day Here are images of the unidentified cicada found near Vault 1 of the Terracotta Army in Xi’an. I have managed to photograph and scan this cicada [thanks to Brian and Hong […]

Tuanjiehu Park Cricket Interviews Day 2 This morning I conducted some more interviews. Again, pretty successful, but I miss out on a lot of chat and discussion. Rather than asking Kelly to translate during the interviews, I have decided that […]

798 Dashanzi In an hour or so we are off to 798 Dashanzi to check out the Dashanzi International Art Festival. We will catch up with Cathy [Busby] and Garry [Kennedy] there, who are both finalising their publications with Ren […]
