I also had the good fortune whilst I was in Paris to be staying in the delicious Montmartre Studios, live/work spaces for artists build by the city council in the thirties. More exciting. The building is on Rue Ordener, almost […]
Some current processes and areas of exploration: Making 1/6 scale model support structures based on shelving units as featured in Childrens TV programme Blue Peter over the years. Making painted work based on video colour bars with added collage elements […]
A round-up of some artists’ info sites beyond the UK that we rate.
Just snatching a few moments to say this will probably be the last entry for a while. I am pleased that HMS is established enough for me to take time out to deal with all the rubbish that is being […]
For an introduction to this post see introduction to entry 64. For a while I felt myself identifying very strongly with my femaleness in relation to the work. I got interested in thinking again about the work of the Austrian […]

I moved stuff into my home studio last Friday with only 10 minutes to spare before the rest of Southwell artists arrived for drinks and nibbles. I've been working all hours cleaning, decorating, lugging, moving, staining, typing, drilling etc etc […]
Fantastic, I managed to get into the studio 3 days on the trot. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was in early all 3 days but managed to get a good 5 hours each day. I've been working on a few […]
Last week was a bit of a slow one in terms of working on ideas. It was my four day week at the gallery doing ‘real’ work and even when I was at the studio it was getting ready for […]
Spent some of Thursday, Friday and today getting studios ready for our open studios event over the next two weekends 25 & 26 October and 1 & 2 November. I know what I want to show. It will be a […]
I have called my Ingeborg Bachmann piece I.B. I've just realised this also stands for Incommensurable Banner. The collective protest banner that I started off in the gallery is not working at all. I am considering ditching the whole endeavour. […]
Its the end of the first week of term. Finally. It's good to be back. 25 weeks until we start clearing out the studios for the degree show they keep telling us. 25 weeks. I'm not quite sure if I'm […]
