As my project EcologyNOW approaches its completion, I have been doing some reflecting. Given the experimental nature of the artwork I will in future extend my time contingency for production. I have learned a number of new techniques and worked […]
I did an Artist Tour at the Lapworth, I was really nervous having never done one before but it went so well. I discovered it suits me much better than the formal set up of a PowerPoint presentation in front […]
Fallen in love with copper and the range of things you can do with it. It’s so malleable; it must be the most alchemical metal out there! I can heat it to change colour according to temperature, oxidise it or […]
I have just come across the most fascinating animal; the Maned Wolf which is neither a fox or wolf despite appearance or name but a distinct species. It is so thin, you could be forgiven for missing it , if […]

My first project exhibition seemed a long way off at the turn of the year but it has come round very fast. As I’m learning with everything to do with this project, things take at least twice as long than […]
For a recovering agoraphobic, perfectionist with M.E. this project is starting to get to me. Too much to do. It’s all taking 2-3 times longer than I had planned, my energy levels are on about 20% and I haven’t even […]
The usual way to extract flax fibre is to grab a handful of stems and then bash them with a mallet. This releases the fibre which can then be combed to remove the unwanted stalk. This is the way a […]
Today I will mostly be looking through photographs. 2,808 of them. And that doesn’t even include the ones on my iPad. I don’t like to think how many are on there. The reason? For the documentary exhibition at Art Space […]
