I am currently attempting to approach writing and language within my Fine Art visual practice. I am gradually moving away from my comfort zones of book work into the realms of Live Art, and am worrying as i am a […]

After three years of being very involved in establishing and running CPArtists I stepped down as Chair at last week’s AGM. I’ve really enjoyed my time as Chair/Co-ordinator and now I want to focus on developing my own projects with […]

The first ten days of the project have come and gone and I am beginning to get my head around the many aspects and starting to get a plan of how to handle all the details. Have had meetings with […]

Research appeal The local papers have picked up my request to interview people connected with Craig-y-nos. While it has resulted in a few people e-mailing/phoning me these have all- with one exception- been ex-members of staff. The Wellcome Trust are […]

Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Have had a request from someone who wants to buy a copy of my video of the Argyll & Sutherland Highland Regiment marching through Stirling. Have also had a request for a copy of Adelina Patti […]

A return to the DHM, Deutsches Historische Museum for the less anguishing upper floors. Bizarrely, the war shots can make great post cards. It must be that the real documentation is too raw, especially film. Life packs an unbearable punch […]

IPhone Aren't we all longing to get our mitts on one?…y'know what I mean…and we have to wait until the end of the year! I'm talking about the most hyped gadget around: IPhone. Come to think of it I am […]

Moral dilemma in video-making Using your family and friends as raw material in making videos is tricky. You walk a thin line between exploiting them or turning them into an "art video". Bill Viola –http://www.billviola.com – never had any qualms […]

You Tube Phone call 9a.m. yesterday. "Can we send a photographer around?" It's the local newspaper. They want to do a piece on my videos on You Tube –http://www.a-nunedited.co.uk/projects/youtube.com Frantic panic to tidy the place up. The young photographer uses […]

I have done a lot of research on Public Realm Art Projects and believe that Modernist Scuplture by claiming public space as museological space not only disrupted an established sense of place but demanded that the space be handled differently. […]

Manfred, the wonderfully charming Arts Director, arrived bringing light to the situation, literally. "I bring you light," he said, wheeling in a strong halogen light. Slender, freckled, fair-haired under his brown felt hat, unflappable and amusing he quickly dispatched my […]
