Opening day!! The lights were fixed, my inflatable should stay inflated and even the sun popped out for a bit (they say bad luck happens in three's). After all that stress everything seems to be going fine. I feel pretty […]
O.k. so I thought the dafated inflatable was a disaster until the lights in the space decided to stop working! I have to wait until friday morning (day of the openening!) until someone can come and check them out. This […]
Today a bit of a disaster happened…the inflatable clam type thing has a hole, I opened the space today to find a shrivelled up thing looking not fat and bright but shrivelled and pathetic. With a bit of tape I […]
The space is really starting to come together. Saturday it was a really lush, sunny day (the beach was v. busy). I bought the guardian newspaper as they were running a seaside guide and I thought it fun to see […]
So this is the last week (aaarrrgghhh!) and it's friday the 13th! No seriously everything's fine, still no bloody mirrors though! Yesterday I managed to finish the beach ball piece so I'm pretty happy and it was lucky too because […]

I've been working in the space for 12 days now and it really seems to be taking shape. I seem to drift between days of extreme energy and intense production of work to days of sitting and contemplating. I've been […]
I've been really busy in the space and haven't had a chance to add any new posts so this will be a long one! I found some plastic lights from rollercoaster tracks and arranged it in a corner of the […]
I started hanging the beachballs today, it looks pretty good, like a big beachball cloud. I think it definately needs something else though. The packaging from the beachballs has pictures of these lovely ladies holding the balls, I decided to […]
Day two and today (weather-wise) was nothing like yesterday, the skies were grey and the sea was really choppy and aggressive. It's funny how when your at the seaside and the weather's rubbish it can really dampen your mood. I […]
First day of the residency started with tidying the space and moving stuff in. The sun's shining and Margate beach looks beautiful. I set up a couple of things but obviously nothing's concrete as I'd like to allow for a […]
