The New Writing is done…and is finished with for the moment…which is fantastic… I think it was ok in the end…it said what I wanted about storytelling and creating lives. It included many quotes from people who have inspired me…and […]

did lots today, very pleased with myself! photoshopped the photos that i chose, upping the contrast a bit so i get some good shadows, then printed them. i took loads of photos today, of the actual process, so you’ll be […]

here are the ones of olivia, and of my degree show layout, and a photo of my studio space.

I like to get out before breakfast with my camera at this time of the year and work with objects I have collected and kept in my studio, like this bone from a sheep.

Ok I’ve got three initial ideas to pitch to the steering group, actually i’ve got lots of ideas but many are terrible and others will probably be chucked because of bad taste. I’m about to start a residency/exhibition in Bury […]

Contemplating the week ahead I am aiming to redress the balance of the project which until now has been fairly heavily weighted towards working with other people either in workshops at the studio and schools or out in the landscape. […]

Well finally here and online! Arrived in Delhi very early Monday morning! Flight was good and the transition to the Sanskriti Kendra relatively smooth from Delhi airport, only a 30 min journey. Slowly getting to grips with the workings of […]

I went to Agra today , a five hour journey, but well worth it and must do for first time visitors to Delhi. I went to visit some of the famous Moghul monuments, saw the Taj Mahal for the first […]

Have been to visit some exhibitions in Delhi, went to see work by a painter called Semma Kohli at the Habitat centre here in Delhi as well as an exhibition at the British Council, the exhibition was created by artists […]

Today I started to explore the museums here at Sanskriti, I am particularly interested in the Museum of Everyday Art and Museum of Indian Terracotta. The South Indian (Tamil Nadu) terracotta horses make for an impressive spectacle lining the walkways […]

This morning I visited Bosiljka, whose contact I got from Duga (women’s organisation). Bosiljka and her husband came to Banja Luka in 1995 from Sanski Most as refugees, and lived with their son until they saved enough money to purchase […]

aaaah, back at uni.  just over three weeks until my degree show has to be put up, and i have a lot to do in that time. i have to finish another two portraits (i’m printing out the photos tommorow), […]

You Tube have introduced a couple of new projects. One is a special section for mobile videos. Have only had a look at two and they were surprisingly good. Had expected the technical quality to be poor. They have also […]

Sometimes it's good to go out into the woods and make site-specific work, especially after hours in front of a computer writing.

A friend from London arrives today. She's coming by overnight train and will arrive at 8:30 am. My plan is to take her on a bicycle tour of Berlin too, but this time with a regular city tour that Tom […]

I’ve just recieved the Artists Brief from Commissions East which is quite useful. it lays out the aims of the commission as giving me the opportunity to create new work develop my profile out of the region attract attention from […]

Apparently during the Han Dynasty of China [206BC-AD220] both jade and cicadas were seen as protection for the deceased during the afterlife. Amongst other things, cicadas made of jade were placed on the tongue of the body. I wonder if […]

My month of being in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia is nearing its end…I am due to come back to the UK on Tuesday and now I wonder if I am ready to come back…or rather would I be back […]

This afternoon I decided to visit the artist in the former army barracks and find out more about his project (wrote a bit about him in the previous post). After a bit of searching through the former military base which […]

This is a bit of an odd one. Usually, like most artists, we choose where we want to work and deal with ideas that we are specifically interested in. Here, as a group, we've all been asked to respond to […]

I decided to wait until next week for the vigil. This feels like a real luxury: to choose a day myself rather than being tied to a medieval feast date! When first thinking about Festial, I planned to spend a […]
