I’ve been designing a few different gallery spaces based around our studios which will become our gallery in the degree show. I’ve been struggling to decide what I want to achieve from a space and so have created a few […]
This is the third and final of my proposals for the three wishes project. It is also closest to the work that I am planning at the moment. The first two paragraphs come from one of my previous blogs, so […]
This is something I wrote for a project we have been set at university in preparation for our degree show. The project was to create three proposals based on our current practice but without considering money, time or space constraints. […]
That people are willing to become participants to installations such as Blind Room, that are disorientating and create feelings of panic or fear, shows the power of the gallery space on the actions of the spectator. Would you, for example, […]
Berlin Art Scene Berlin is the epicenter of art in Europe. The art scene is so rich and dense, but what really strikes you is how art plays a central role not only in Berlin’s psyche, but how the city […]
I’m getting all my stuff together for my PG Dip assessment tomorrow. I need to make sure I load up the car with everything I need but I’m spending the evening fannying about (as Jo Farnell would say) painting steel […]

Spring Time for Hitler and Germany It is grey, so grey. It is the morning of the Artists Talking talk, I have a sore throat. It may be an artist croaking. Also as part a long tradition of public appearance […]

It really is remarkable when things converge. ‘Image-breaking retained the sense that each element retained its own vivid specificity but took a step a back from the final lightning strike of illumination which would hold them all together in understanding. […]
Myself and Peter the sound engineer for the project have met and discussed what is going to be possible to create inside the vacant shop unit that we have secured, paying close attention to the budget that we have available. […]

I have been struggling with the lack of unity in my work recently – the fact that this blog and the things I believe in for artists, do not fit neatly with the work I make. In titling the show […]
I am inside myself. I am inside the world. I am above and around everything my senses allow me to understand. I am waking-walk-waking-walking. Vibration of a conscious mind. Of my own creating. Of my own forming of this physical […]
Yesterday was our move-in day to studio A6. Bob is making us some DIY tables from some rescued boards (pictured). I’m considering removing all the chips from the woodchip wallpaper. Or as wikipedia prefers, ingrain wallpaper; invented by German pharmacist […]
Supermarket Day 4 This is the first day that the fair is open to the public. It is immediately and surprisingly busy. A friend is supposed to come during her lunch-break, unfortunately she is delayed and arrives just as Michael […]
Time now for a bit of a break from politics… otherwise my head may explode! So, instead, it is time for a yearly round up – just to get everything in perspective, take a deep breath, and remember that I […]
I have been searching for a style for my neon sign. A few years ago I derided the ubiquitous neon artworks to be found at Frieze. Now I find myself quite excited by them although I don’t like any of […]

An unsettling dream of creating art from life… I awoke a few weeks ago from a vivid dream involving the creation of a sculptural installation. When I dream about making art (which happens only rarely) I pay attention- writing the […]

Some people live in rural villages, others in big cities. Wherever they live – in mountains, forests and deserts, and on islands, people all around the world are busy doing the same things. We may all look very different, but […]
