Overwhelmed: I took part as a panelist on an online Q&A’s thing today http://bit.ly/vxPq11 And the nature of this event makes you feel like your suposed to know the answers to the questions. I read about people trying to establish […]
Hooray! I had a letter from the tax office saying that I’m now registered for tax and VAT in Sweden. Hopefully it’s a useful stage in getting myself “fully” registered here and getting that all-important personal number. I looked at […]
Planning the blocking-up of the lime planks took up most of Tuesday’s studio time, and left only a frenzied forty-five minutes to actually start laminating the wood. Going in a few days later to finish the job on my own […]
Again it’s been some time, slightly less than three weeks so that has to be a good thing… I’m reading Conversations on Sculpture edited by Glenn Harper and Twylene Moyer and finding it really useful especially how artists think and […]

Visited Grayson Perry’s exhibition The Tomb Of the Unknown Craftsman at the British Museum. A clever and thoughtful exhibition. Alongside his own works were treasures he had chosen from the Museum. I brought the exhibition catalogue and a teddy bear. […]
Article five part two…. I know all too well from my own visual arts practice that if left to one’s own devices, it is easy to spend a lot of time saying them same thing and wondering how to get […]
Thanks Elena I can’t wait to see what I create either! I have some ideas but nothing is certain yet. The call out read ‘This residency is offered to artists who can demonstrate how an intense period of focus may […]
Took part in a 2 day sound workshop – a really good way to learn intensively about making a sound piece – used found sound, some decent digital recorders and edited with GarageBand. I could see immediately how this might […]

Collection plate duly delivered to the gallery this morning. I am away for the private view which is a shame. I spent ages choosing the objects to go in the plate. I realised afterwards why. In my proposal I stated […]

Andrew Bryant discusses a new series of events that take Artists talking ‘out of the virtual and into the actual’.
If there is any single shared idea about art, it’s that it can be transformative. Aliceson Carter came to art late, and her ‘story’ and her work, bear out the deconstructive and reconstructive potential of creativity. Here she talks to Andrew Bryant about Goldsmiths, blogging and being on the outside.
