Hello, and welcome to the new blog :) I will probably return to The State of Play blog when this project is complete, but I wanted to keep a separate record of my residency collaborating in a large group with […]
As I thought about the time that lapsed between thinking about it and actually starting this blog I remembered school reports ” Joanna is a slow developer”. In terms of art practice it seems to me that speed is not […]
No new work done yet but I continue sorting and throwing. This afternoon I was at college to hear sculptor Doug White talking about his practice. I have a passion for listening to artists talk about how they work. I […]

A very good day – magical, playful, a feeling of childlike excitement. Actual glee. Just home, feeling exhilarated and animated after a first day of collaboration with For The Love of People, who are artists Caroline Hick http://bobbyhick.tumblr.com/and Jez Coram […]

It is important no matter what, to keep moving and looking for opportunities in a positive way, with the same energy and vision. I say this, because I have been feeling like I have hit a bit the ground, although […]
Drawing breath I am thinking about drawing and trying to write about it. The task turned out to be far from simple. I have been surprised how little I know and can explain, how much more I know tacitly than […]
Part 2 On a positive note, I’ve taken part in some interesting performance workshops and I can’t help but hope that those explorations might lead to future collaborations that will feed into my art practice in future. But they didn’t […]
