September Crits – Part 1 The other week, Katie Goodwin and myself hosted a peer critique session at ASC Studios. This was the third in our post MA Wimbledon roving salon/crit series. We were a little overdue with this one, […]

Recently I have been re-visiting Arthur Koestler’s 1964 classic ‘The Act of Creation’. It’s over 700 pages so I have only ever dipped in here and there, and I’m sure it must be very dated in art theory terms. Nevertheless […]

One week before the exhibitions kick off and only now, am I thinking about publicity. It has taken an enormous amount of work to set up these two exhibitions and I feel absolutely drained. So apologies for going down the […]

It had a been a long wait to start my PhD since receiving notification about my AHRC funding in June, but the day was finally here. Armed with a new pencil case, I walked to university, excited to begin the […]

Days 2 and 3 At the beginning of day two we were divided into three groups. Each group was given the assignment of devising a hypothetical proposal for a site specific event, exhibition or project at a designated location in […]

So this is how things stood at the end of year four. Six collaborators, six throws of the dice, six excursions into unknown territory. Six ‘detours’. Detour 1 – Stella threw a number 4 and was handed a dictionary of […]

Busy times, getting used to being back in my own studio after such a long time. It is wonderful. Despite the fact that I thought that I would be revisiting the work I was making with dolls, I am continuing […]

Day 1 – So today was the first working day of the residency. Hangovers all round (a result of last night’s welcome party) aided the group’s camaraderie in a weird way. There are 10 residents in total, 2 of which […]

A good morning of making, thinking and talking for my piece for the SCIBase ‘Inhospitable’ show at Bridewell Studios for the Independents Liverpool Biennial. Can I be honest? I’m not keen on themed shows. Too often I feel like a […]

A little bit of history – where I come from. I have never studied art or photography my background at school and university was always science and I never really thought about studying art or photography. Having done all this […]

Untitled (Firewall) which was showing at Airspace Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent came down last week, I was super pleased with it! I’ve never been more worried about a show in the weeks running up to it, I was concerned about making […]

I am tired; it has been a busy week. My head is swimming with the tasks for my Swedish course (finish reading a novel that I only bought last week, learn all the tenses of 10 irregular verbs, write and […]

Last night there was an opening in the gallery here at the studios – a painting show. It was very nice to find myself speaking with one of artists (a Finn living in Berlin) and realising that we know some […]

After 3 gruelling days in court the Judge has managed to make sense of a badly drafted lease. He has also accepted the Factory Company have been charging for items which cannot be recovered through the service charge. This includes […]

Invigilation (Part 1) Before. I came in early and have done the rounds, turning on a huge variety of technical equipment. Some people have left brilliant instructions, some people none. Some appliances (sorry Bo) due to my incompetence probably, have […]

I still seem to be playing catch up after the holiday; there’s a real sense that I’m clearing the decks in preparation for some hard work ahead. I feel in limbo with regards to 10 x 10 as there’s nothing […]
