Today I have been reading Deanna Petherbridge’s superb essay on Gill titled ‘Recouping Otherness’. She explains that, from the sparse facts of her life that we do know, Gill spent a long time in bed after a miscarriage and illness […]
The newly launched CreativeStirling.org kicked off with a magnificent mural in the yard of Stirling jail. This is a group of artists working under the start-up company CreativeStirling.org which aims to bring together and facilitate the work of artists, designers,musicians […]
This is the first post of a blog that will chart the greatest transformation of my work over the next part of 2012. Today I received a phone call on my home phone from the R C Sherriff Trust. They […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about the ‘purpose’ of exhibiting today. In his essay ‘Cosmic Cavalcade’, the historian Gary Haines asks “What drove Gill to exhibit?”. She wasn’t interested in selling her work, as an Evening Standard article from November […]
I hadn’t realised that it had been quite so long since I last made a post; time flies when your having fun and all that! But in all honesty, since Identity Politics @ Althorpe Studios and Gallery last month I’ve […]
Last week’s Olympic Art Review conference looked beyond the headline-grabbing Arcelor Mittal Orbit to explore the social, cultural and economic agendas behind London 2012’s Art in the Park.
I keep thinking about The Lemonheads song ‘Into Your Arms’ in relation to blog writing. Not that I consciously turned to my blog when I was ‘alone’ but retrospectively I realise it was a place I turned to as a […]
Long time since I posted… Firstly, thanks to Degrees Unedited, a-n mag and Richard Taylor for rewarding my blogging efforts with a runners-up prize in the bloggers awards – I was surprised but very happy when the box of goodies […]
Organised – if organised is the right word – a cupcake making workshop and tea party yesterday for the bunting forever participants. Luckily someone asked if I had the tea … the answer was a mad dash to the co-op. […]
Identity Politics @ Althorpe Studios and Gallery was a great success. We had over 50 visitors, which for the first event in a new gallery in a out-of-the-way part of a small(ish) town is fantastic! It seems that everyone really […]

Settled In It’s been over a month since my last post. In that time, although I have been beginning to make new work, I decided to slow down a little in order to fully settle back into to life in […]
Open Studios finished last weekend, I could not make it as I work every other weekend, but Janie who studio I spared with said she had lots of visitor more than the weekend before. I had some good feedback which […]
Visitors to my studio during Forth Valley Open Studios who came expecting to buy work were in for a shock. They found themselvles immersed in an interactive artwork with themselves as the “star”. So, what was it it? Well, research […]
My neighbour’s music is once again seeping through the brick wall as if it were nothing more than a sheet, but as soon as I started to stir some indignation, I realised that this time it’s a live Peter Gabriel […]
The show is now installed. My paintings are hung in a ‘room’ in one of the large, light-filled studios near the main entrance of the School. The etchings are in a mixed display, in a gallery of four studios in […]
Feeling less than chipper today. I thought that the studio would be buzzing this week as they have an opening and summer party on Saturday, its like a morgue. It is difficult to get to know who the other artists […]
Alice Bradshaw talks to Nick Fox about cuts in art education, the John Moores Painting Prize, balancing work between two cities, and being called a painter.
Putting together a proposal for another outing for Offcutter I came across some photos I’d taken of the morning sun on the kitchen wall. Initially they were natural – leaves, glass, bit later I put objects in the path of […]
