Project up at VARC was great – I love really intense working sessions, partly I think, because you can really feel a sense of achievement by getting a lot of work done, something which often seems remote possibilty most of […]
Up to Northumberland next weekend, for an exchange project with VARC. Myself and another four artists from the NewBridge Project are involved in a project called Response: A Rural / Urban Conversation. (http://www.varc.org.uk/news/2011/05/28/response-a-…) Bascially, this involves camping there for three […]
Finally gotten an edited version of the piece I made down at PVA up online. Bit of a bugger to to this, as surprisingly enough, listening to it via the web is always going to be a much lesser experience […]
26th March protest march yesterday. The reason I got up at the ungodly hour of 4am to take a 6 hr coach ride to the capital is that I fundamentally believe that the public sector cuts the government are imposing […]
Back from residency and in a world of playing catch-up. So much so, that the 11-13 hr days I was working at the studio last week are beginning to feel a bit like a holiday. The time down in Dorset […]

I’ve been finding writing this blog a struggle of late. It’s quite difficult to write about work in a chatty, conversational way, when it’s been a bit of a low patch, work-wise. However, I generally feel better if I’m active […]
Let’s face it – writing proposals and applications isn’t interesting. And neither is writing about writing proposals and applications. And seeing as that’s primarily what I’ve been doing pretty much non-stop for the last months, you’ll be understanding the reasons […]
The post-MA world is a bit of a weird one. You always know after working so stupidly hard on a project, that there’s this odd flatness when it’s finished. Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite pleased to be done – […]
So, this time next week I think it’s pretty safe to say, I will be feeling more than a little worse for wear following copious amounts of wine at the preview for my MFA grad show. This delightful thought (and […]
