Dear Reader, I have been toying with an idea for some time now. Hoping to use this for my upcoming exhibition in February, I have been thinking of doing a self portrait. This self portrait will be a little bit […]
It is silent and I am sitting in front of the window watching a light, almost imperceivable, snow fall. There is a bank of old cinema chairs and a projector here in my room – traces of last night’s presentation […]
I miss my morning runs. Running indoors is not at all the same, it does not do the same things as running outdoors does. Running indoors feels static even though I am moving – the air is still. I am […]

When I set up Magical Women in 2019/2020 (funded by ACE in 2020) there were no organisations or groups running that was autistic led by autistic women. There were no relaxed spaces for so called (and wrongly called) “high functioning” […]

I got distracted this morning and now write this after my run rather than before. While running – up and down the five flights of stairs and lengths of the basement – I found myself wondering if porridge could be […]
I had not counted on it snowing during the residency – an oversight as I did not bring either studs for my running shoes nor sufficient warm layers of running wear. Compounded by increasingly late sunrises I realise that I […]
Writing and working with text … presenting text … presenting words has caught my imagination. It is something that we have done at various times over the past two weeks. And it is something that I have reflected back upon […]
Sorcha, Aina, Kristjan, Mattias and I ended up at an intimate concert in an apartment on Thursday evening. An intense man played guitar and sang in Latvian to a crowd of twenty or so students(?) who were sitting on the […]
Yesterday I made some flags from materials found around the building. As works, or perhaps pieces of what might become an installation, they are (un)familiar to me. The flag form is something that has evolved in my thinking over the […]
Well, my guilt at the thought of other people reading this has subsided- I am quite happy in the knowledge that there is a web wide indifference to my ‘blog about prevaricating about doing something creative’ . A real weight […]
My project to go In Search of Silicon Valley has come to a close. The final outcomes included ‘A Cybernetic Meadow’ – a new installation at The Auxiliary Project Space, Middlesbrough, plus a zine and a talk. The project has […]
