It is a little bit frustrating sitting in a gallery thinking about tweeting, facebooking and blogging, then not being able to do it because the 15th century building you are in refuses to have anything to do with wifi or […]
This hasn’t ended up where I thought it would. But I think that’s good, and I think this is better. I thought that the final show would end up with more collaborative pieces, but I think, in the end, neither […]
The work is ready. I’ve been framing and mounting for the past two days and finally I know what my half of the show will look like. I’m excited… Elena will tell you that’s not like me… highly unusual. I’m […]
Hi everyone… we’re looking for someone to do some writing for us… a review of the show, and possibly a piece about Bo’s work, and a piece about mine… we’d like to take the work on elsewhere after Ledbury, and […]

Sometimes I just need to sit.Sometimes I just need to leave alone.Sometimes I just need to wait. Increasingly I associate this blog with the artist and my own personal blog with the teacher. As the boundaries between the two have […]
Pix Ingredients Elements Pixels Stitches People Edges Particles Scraps Patches Pieces Fragments Fractions Parts Call them what you like, it amounts to the same thing. I have been off on a tangent or two, and have come back to this […]
I seem to have gone off at a tangent, so nothing I am doing seems to fit here at the moment… Unfortunately, Bo’s not posting either, due to the fact he teaches full time, and exams, moderation, marking, inspections and […]
