OUTSIDE BATHROOM Judith’s thoughts about bringing the inside outside made me realise we have 3 baths on the allotment, only one with taps. I went up to take a closer look at them. They are used as water butts now. […]

Rosie has received my proposal for the February show. She is happy so I send it off to the gallery curator. The proposal contains a couple of ideas, well, three to be more precise so I am hoping the gallery […]

Having completely over-loaded myself with heavyweight research / reading and with a week to go before enrollment on the MA, I have finally got round to instigating some new work! As an antidote to my current pre-occupation with serious philisophical […]

Here’s a sampling from recent images of t-shirts: Passion Island/Dreamland; Rugby Hard D&G Real Stuff Rough Tough: Let the Gardens Heal Your Soul. I learned today that in the early 1990s it was fashionable here to wear t-shirts that said […]

I have recently visited the MA show at Wimbledon where I am going to start (in the sculpture area) in a few weeks. Their end of year show incorporates all specialisms (sculpture, drawing, VLP etc..) and so I was looking […]

Bicycles and tricylces haul all kinds of things: furniture, collected material for recycling, loads of market produce, as well as getting people from a to b. There are bike lanes on many streets and mobile bike repair stops to repair […]

I used my new card for the first time today. The first woman I requested flatly said no and seemed mildly annoyed that I had approached her. I realized that I may be bothering people, both as a foreigner unable […]

Here’s Kelly working on the translation with the layout person at the printers. That evening Cath Clover and other Red Gate Residency folks were at an opening at the Pickled Art Centre, run by Li Gang. That's where I took […]

Drama Queen   The portrait turned up today (see picture). I was also at the Air event in Colchester tonight talking about my key issues with David Kefford and Caroline Wright. I overcame my nervousness by transforming into a complete […]
