We have been awarded a NAN New Collaboration bursary to support the development of Breaking Ground, our project in 2 parts. Judith and I raised a glass to this success on Monday night and are planning our next steps. We […]

Reading Rilke's Diaries resonates for me, as a temporary resident in Berlin: "most people … blindly race past a thousand unobtrusive beauties on their way to those official sights that usually only disappoint them anyway." But here even more:" Know […]

It seems odd for a blog that there are no options for user feedback – oh well, it is certainly good to be in an arts context on this blog. I am, however, interested in feedback so do send any […]

TIME. TIME…. TIME………. TIME I am so aware of how little time I have left, and yet it seems to stretch out endlessly in front of me. I am compiling endless lists of things to do. They all go something […]

MYSPACE PAGE I have done it. I have got myself a myspace page. A myspace page for the Touch This Press. http://www.myspace.com/touchthispress I have begun to notice more and more small publications appearing on myspace as a way of marketing […]

worked on kate some more this morning, made her face wider, etc. still to do is her hair, on the left particularly, her eyelashes and the shadows under them, her hairline all along the top, and her nose ring needs […]

Finally the colour is right. What had started out to be a sunshine yellow painting, which proved to be impossible to achieve the exact colour I wanted, it looked constantly too harsh, too artificial in this murkiness, has become after […]

In preparation for the residency, I am collecting as many stories about singing insects as I can, and would appreciate all contributions from you wonderful and avid blog readers. Please access info and a form from the link below and […]

I have finally found a bit of time and space to try and focus on finding a few words. The last few days have been eventful… I have been talking to many, many people about the project and about the […]
