Just back from New York. Had expected to be able to update my blog on a daily basis through using internet cafes. Not so. In New York everyone is WI-Fi and they carry their own personal gadgets ( cell phone, […]
Most welcome arrival of the Architect again. It was to be the final visit and departure but now there is this period of another month's grace. Hurrah. We visit the Landscape Architect in his spacious apartment, a newly converted attic […]
It was mostly an art free day.Except for Plato who snuck under my duvet, so I read a discussion on knowledge in ‘Theaetetus’.Tomorrow I will assemble loopers, order drive belts and spare lamps for the projectors. Then it is time […]
Postcards from Berlin (introduction): Compared to Newcastle, the art scene in Berlin is big, no, it is HUGE. Part of my purpose here over the next 6 months is to get to know it, and in doing so to reorient, […]
Postcard from Berlin (1): Last Friday I visited ‘after the butcher’www.after-the-butcher.de This is an artist owned space in a former butchers shop in the district of Lichtenberg, in the east of the City. The family who own it (they also […]
The potters did a great job – the pots really look quite medieval, right down to the amazing pie-crust edges on the bowls. And it's not long now until they're needed for the first time on Festial's launch day, May […]
Visited TATE Modern last week to see, among other things, the Gilbert & George exhibition and to see G & G themselves in conversation with Michael Bracewell in the Starr Auditorium. I was keen to see the show and to […]

just did a bit more work on olivais right hand side eye, its definately finished now..
I’m just back from the opening of Joking Aside. Had a lovely time. The curator Craig Ashley got a comic in for the opening. I cracked up as his jokes about paedophilia and intimate shaving fell flat on the genteel […]
Regarding Progress: The exhibition is due to open in 9 days and it doesn’t quite feel real yet. There is a mountain of work yet to be conquered.. I am clear now that I won’t again entangle myself in another […]

These colours won't come right. It doesn't help of course that the studio lights are so dim that I have to blast the two halogen lights onto the painting just to see at night. Now I am resorting to glazing. […]
(ORIGIN of Choreography: from Greek khoreia ‘dancing in unison’ (from khoros ‘chorus’ ) + -graphy ) The catalyst for this installation is the divisive force with which I observe a great number of people responding to cultural identities that differ […]
On returning home: My first week has been largely occupied by language studies and settling in. The downside to residencies in unfamiliar places is the time spent lost, seeking that which would be easily to hand at home. The upside […]

"I can't tell you on the phone, I'll come over." That sounds like a leftover from our parents' generation, either from the war when telephones might be tapped, or from country towns when the local switchboard might have been eavesdropping. […]
I read Jane Ponsford's last blog entry with recognition, as I too am enjoying keeping up with the progress of other projects – especially, as it happens, Jane's! I think our residencies have similar and dissimilar aspects that I'm finding […]
did some more work on me and olivia today, olivia’s right hand eye is driving me mad, i cant work out which way it should be looking, and its looking the wrong way on the photo, so i cant copy […]
Its so interesting to watch everyones projects developing and evolving on this site. You can't help but get involved with the stresses and elations and worries that emerge from the blogs.I felt a huge sense of relief that the video […]
