Following up from my post on 14th June about worthiness… I now have the big roll of paper, and I’ve started working with it. A strange thing happened…. as I was drawing there was a thought that followed a line […]

Isn’t it always the case that after a reflective period of quiet making and drawing, gradually and subtly, everything changes and before you know it, all of a sudden it’s deadline, deadline, deadline! At the moment, I am mostly making […]

The title of this post is a quote from a comment on these monoprints by an artist I admire, which I am of course rather happy about and it makes me realise how hard one has to work to make […]

Artist Rob Gawthrop and I worked together in the Dance4 studio for a day to experiment with bringing Rob’s sound ideas and my drawing activities backward behind into the same space of performance. Rob working with ideas of back, inverted […]

I’m beginning to realise that my collection of material is extremely wide ranging and somewhat chaotic. The film that I’m making, by layering artwork and sound, will need a narrative.  Time to get working on a story board. There are […]

Today 12 July was the only day this month I could get to DBA Editions in Ramsgate to do some more work on the monoprints which will be called “Helen’s Garden” as they are inspired by the garden of artist […]

Thinking about making something else out of my 19th century metal precipitates a question ‘what are my artefacts made of?’ I’m not sure it matters, but I really want to know. I can guess from looking that they are probably […]

Managed these 2 despite being rather sleepy and the nurses being very efficient and getting through the process rather “quickly.” I sold 3 pieces at the Parallax art fair. May or may not do it again – organising things at […]

A day of beginnings and near endings. Most of the volunteers were starting on extensions to Trenches T and X. The spoil heap for T is now mountainous. I recorded detailed sounds of mattocks, shovels and wheelbarrows to go with […]

Gleaned Fragments from A Discarded Copy of Aristotle’s Poetics Let us discuss the art of poetry in general and its species. Some people use the medium of colour and shape to produce imitations Others do this by means of voice. […]

scale relative to body, to paper, to wall, to space documenting details, zooming in, coming close to the surface, bringing you upclose by talking a still-image, but then as photographic image this detail loses its context, the space around it, […]

Damp, not actually raining at the moment, but mild and humid. Flies are a nuisance. Apparently the biting midge season is later on – but I’m not going to take any chances and cover myself in midge repellant. Not much […]
