Hello and welcome to my (much delayed) third blog post. As I’ve previously mentioned, one of the core motivations for applying for a professional development bursary was improving my limited technical skills in bookmaking. Despite my worryingly intense appreciation for […]
The 2017 edition of the open studios weekender that celebrates the creative community of Hackney Wick, east London, will explore the inside workings of the artist’s studio whilst reflecting a time of rapid redevelopment in the area.

I applied to StudioBook’s open call in April 2017 having moved up to Manchester from London six months earlier. This relocation was largely to enable more focus on my artistic practice – something that was never fully possible in the […]

3 Moon Day CC rings Daniel to ask if he would like lunch (CC has looked up falafel options – Louisenstrabe). He doesn’t but when we meet in Marche at Dresden train station, face to face, he apologises. We can […]
4 45, Mercury Karl-Marx Stadt – Chemnitz Chimney, like a tall can of OK energy drink. We find food first; both places we’ve looked up are open and nearly next door neighbours. Dhal or falafel, dhal or falafel. Syria wins […]
5 Jupiter Left instead of right. Zwickau, 30 minutes away. I get to the “small streets” but the tourist info is elusive. Second circle around I find it. They’re unaware of any artist’s studios and google it (I’ve tried that […]
8 Mercury Meeting Paul Elsner at GEH8 (Gehstraber). I know where to go because Daniel gave me directions from the S train stop. Local knowledge. I go to STORE on Pulsnitzer but unfortunately it’s closed. CC would’ve rung ahead but […]
