Feeling a bit better about things after this weekend. I went to the opening of the Creekside Open in Deptford on Saturday afternoon, which was a really positive experience. The exhibition, which was selected by Phyllida Barlow, was probably the […]

I’ve been busy doing some new drawings over the last month. They’re obviously very sculptural and mentioned in a previous blog I’m getting urges to start to make things again. I’ve been debating how I could make these, whether I […]
