We're hoping to run two or more events in the run up to the Eastbourne Cultural Festival ( due to take place in March 2008) which will help artists to prepare for Open Houses and for events which they may […]
Today we publicized the show on myspace. Myspace is a really good way to inform friends of what is going on. Hopefully this will inform more people about the show.

A last bowl of borsht with Tom at Gorky Park as he's off to England for a few weeks break from being a Berliner artist. Clement Greenberg writes: ‘I think a poor life is lived by anyone who doesn't regularly […]
..still folding boats and drawing them..But the main focus now is on finding at least a little bit of funding for the installations / projects that I will do in India in August.There will be 3 installation pieces and one […]
..sudden change of plan. I will go to India as soon as I can get the Visa.It occured to me that I seem to be somewhat slow at making drawing based works right now and I could use the time […]

there's so much going on that's not directly connected to my artwork but that impacts on it. Just over three years ago my partner was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. For last 18 months I've spent at least five nights […]
Elevation From Terror is underway! Workshops began last weekend. Members of the public were asked to make origami cranes to be used in the installation at St Pancras Church. The response was fantastic, many birds were made and a group […]
We went both to BRYN CELLI DDU very early in the morning today to experience the sunrise at 4:43 am. The ancient monument is astronomically and geographically 'adjusted' in a way that the sun around the time of the summer […]
Corpus Christi was yesterday, by the Julian calendar. I spent a gloriously warm and sunny day at St Andrew's: I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be the only visit where I feel warm enough just in shorts […]
The challenge so far. Anyone who goes to uni faces a challenge. It is probably bigger if you are juggling a family and a partner and possibly employment too. An arts degree becomes an obsessive compulsive thing – that has […]
Blue Monkey Studio held a Networking Event in Autumn 2006 supported by an Arts Council grant. This took place over 2 days and many artists and art managers came to the Studio. Lots of people asked for more events and […]
We built a mailing list and sent out questionnaires to ask what artists would like a Professional Development programme to include. After months of talking to interested people, consulting and discussing possibilities, we put together an introductory evening of speakers […]

Friedrich Nietzsche, ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra': Let us at least talk of us, you who are visual, grim though it may be. Remaining silent is grimmer, all truths that are kept silent become toxic.' His troubled mind seems to float on […]
Yesterday's drive to Clifden was spectacular; sweeping hills give way to mountains and lakes. The circuitous route followed the Inagh valley along a twisty winding road, often perilously close to the water's edge. Rosie met me at Clifden. She is […]
Just tried to upload images but unfortunatly the PC's here need the Canon software, which I didn't bring with me. So written descriptions will have to suffice until I reach home again, sorry!

Coming home to the studio last night the road was blocked off by the police and fire engines. Trams were piled up, about half a dozen both ways waiting in a jam. Apparently a large tree had just fallen right […]
I am amazed to write that I am three quarters through the book already. It’s quite a light read interspersed with illustrations in the form of paintings and drawings and the odd photograph. The author recounts a simple life, yet […]
The flight into Shannon was spectacular. The decent is over water with the green 'fingers' of the two peninsulars either side. There are distant views of hills and mountains and the flight takes you over several islands. An early arrival […]
