The Haden Hill House project ran in several newspapers and was appreciated. It has also been extended till end of October. The feeling of the work been up in the room for so long now gives me the impression that […]
Well the exhibition is up, I completed all of the drawings and drawings on objects that I had set out to do and Rachael in the end achieved some very satisfactory and thoughtful photography. I tried three larger drawings with […]
Made a visit to Haden Hill House today, the first in a while. I informed Rachael I was paying a visit, she busy with schools at present. With such a misty, damp and dull day, she wondered what the house […]
The undefined, the past allowing the future to flourish, spaces never being finished. These thoughts in my work run over to this project. How I may reflect them through the drawings of the house I am yet to decide, but […]

Sharing with Rachael today and considering that not only is it important for the work to flow naturally, but the collaboration itself does too and it is, which is good. We have not had chance for many meetings, but it […]
Well it is certainly an interesting collaboration with Rachael. The instinctive element to our ideas, forming whilst working on our own, is as mysterious as the project, in a good way. I don’t know whether it is the House, or […]
