Here are the recollections of the day two of the Labverde program in the Amazon, Brazil. Distilling the rich experience of the very first day in the Amazon, on the second day, it felt so very special and dream like […]
Based in Birmingham’s growing cultural quarter Digbeth, Recent Activity seeks to contribute to the area’s artist-led scene without replicating the activity of its more established spaces. Art researchers Doggerland speak to one of the organisation’s founders Andrew Gillespie about working within manageable parameters to offer “something a bit different” to the area.
Ive run a blogspot before; the dusty looking ‘word of hand’ www.nickspowell.blogspot.co.uk and was useful for some while to chart progress and territory for art activity; mostly painting, but drawing and mixed media. Posting on it tailed off because I […]
This is work in progress I think – I’ve been trying to work bigger (approx. 74x140cms) and also want to see how I can use printmaking as a means of mark making and/or keep a sense of repetition but maintain […]
The Artists’ Moving Image Northern Ireland festival in Belfast has been pulled together with minimal funding and plenty of mutual support by two artists based in the city. Jack Hutchinson talks to co-organiser Jacqueline Holt about their efforts to support moving image practice in the six counties.

Descriptions of what happens in studio activity and thought processes that influence the work in progress
I found the above information on my regular news searches online via the Grimsby Telegraph. I wonder who will move into the vacated buildings? How will this effect The Europarc? I’ve noticed that a lot of their staff are frequent […]
This lake painting has been in my archive for a while, I don’t know who the artist is but the brush work is interesting on closer viewing, especially towards the sky. Inter-tidal has been a long project to produce, due […]
I set out with good intentions to write regular posts throughout this project and find I am lacking in this regard. I can make excuses such as juggling 4 school runs a day, then school holidays, 3 […]
When I began this residency, I promised myself I would not overthink. I would not attempt to resolve conceptual concerns. I would remain open to possibility in everything I did. And I would only do what I wanted to do, […]
Well I went to the inaugural Shed meeting of UOS alumni… all a bit serious but am sure it will evolve into something more lively. Have decided not to go up on stage for an expensive handshake to collect my […]
