I've had quite an interesting weekend regarding levels of correspondence and the taking part of. Firstly I got chatting to the waitress in my local pub about how she communicates with her best friend from her schooldays. Neither use e-mail […]
Has instant visual communication such as e-mail and text affected the way in which society handles written communications? I can't remember the last time I received something in the post that was not a bill or notification or something that […]
'Pigeon Story' is now installed and complete. The location until the end of December is 'Pigeon Hole', in Leominster, Herefordshire. A project curated by Anna Falcini (see her blog). I am thrilled with the result, the installation went smoothly and […]
There is something very strange about some things you take part in being very blogable and others being not so much so. I have found it very difficult during this time of preparing work for 'Pigeon Hole' to find things […]
It seems an age since I last left a post. Things are moving along slowly but surely. The frames are complete and look beautifully uniform and the images of the pigeon story are in the process of being selected. I […]

Over the last few days I have been imagining how my pigeons will look in the small shopfront, how they are going to appear to onlookers, how, in fact, can they convey the journey they have been on and what […]
To set the scene, things have been a bit slow since graduating in July. Three months on, a one week residency, a studio opening, an open studio event (h-Art), a holiday and a hectic trip to France with a group […]
With all that has been going on I forgot to mention yesterday that the tragedy of the missing pigeon occurred once again. This time I discovered its absence on the VIP night……too late for action. Apparently said pigeon was nowhere […]
Its nearly over now. The private view was Friday and last night was the VIP private view. Both seemingly went well. A chat has been had with the external moderator (who apparently was very pleased) and assessment feedback received from […]
Tonight is the night of our private view, so I am having a chilled day, but what a mixed bag of a week! BA assessments were held on Tuesday and since then I seem to have been installed in the […]
Its done. We are finished (apart from a few minor tweaks) and we are out of there! The exhibition looks good. I'm pleased with how my work has come together and I feel it's working well. I have just made […]
