The day began with a discussion on the Neolithic method of construction. It seems that they started with good intentions but when chaos intervened they made the best of what they had. How many of us artists identify with this […]

Seaweed, trees, rivers, veins. Skeletal structures, views from above, all spread outwards, thinning and succumbing to the foundations that support them. Rivers follow fluctuations in the ground, geological underpinnings and fractures. Mine are stunted, it seems. Something stems the flow, […]

My random sketches and sound recordings are the raw material for at least two outcomes – to date, a film and a book.  The book, which will consider the role of perceptual art in other areas of research, is a […]

Sometimes it’s good to take a step sideways as in the attached drawing which is not connected to anything in particular or any particular project. What I am asking myself though at the moment is whether or how I can […]

This evening we launched the collaborative publication Resilience is Futile which I have been Writer in Residence for YVAN and Corridor 8. I had some fantastic conversations with many people there: Some people I’ve known a while, some I’ve met […]

Oh how I wish I had access to this summary a few months ago! Ah well, I have slowly pieced together the puzzle pieces from conversations and web links, but this summary from the Guardian’s Science editor Ian Sample pulls […]

Landscape drawings cut into the ground expose the bedrock beneath. Here, in East Sussex, it is chalk. As with the sculptural forms of the cliffs just down the road, the brightness of the white and the contrast of the green […]

I continue to walk to the sea and stare. I was reminded last week how many of us are drawn to the edge. The precarious cliff face proved just too tempting for some as they stood at the top of […]

On Sunday morning we went to the most incredible place ever. Even thinking about it now lifts my soul. It’s called Hulme Community Garden Centre. I love every single square inch of that place, seriously. Just go have a look […]

Saturday morning kicked off at the Green Fish Resource Centre with the theme of Working From Within. This weekend would be about using ones own lived experience to inform ways of working. Fellow UNIONITES from the North West gave their […]

I’ve been looking forward to this third residency weekend for ages (I always do) – I’m surrounded by other passionate and HUGELY interesting people doing very insightful and inspiring things. This UNION programme has been absolutely brilliant so far, and […]
