Hello Does anyone know anything about fire regulations and standard requirements for soft sculptures/textile installations to be exhibited in public spaces such as Art galleries. Im unsure as to where a soft sculpture fits into the current regulations. For instance, when […]
This blog will pick up from where I left off when I had a ‘Degrees Unedited’ blog with A-N two years ago: www.a-n.co.uk/blogs/staffordshire-university-11

An Additive Mix is by far the most ambitious installation I have ever made, incorporating a purpose build 10m x 5m room with infinity mirrors and 250 6ft fluorescent lamps currently at the National Media Museum, Bradford. The new […]
I have had a busy summer with life beyond my fine art degree, and have had to take opportunities for artistic thinking time as they come, which sounds less than perfect. I have been fretting about keeping my art practice […]
A bit of delay in the latest posting as it took me a while to work out my sub was due to Artists’ Network: the administration of modern life! I wanted to post a review of Afgang, 2015, the graduation […]
For as long as I can remember I have observed and interacted with the world from a super sensory perspective. Once, after observing my behaviour and aesthetic for three years, my art school tutor told me I was sensual and […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I sit here at the keyboard, with absolutely no idea in my head of what I’m going to write. I had thought I would be posting immediately, but I have found what I needed […]
AUDIOBLOG -Please click here It’s been a weird couple of days… I was at the NSEAD conference on Friday and Saturday. It was great, as I came away feeling more optimistic about Art, Craft and Design education than I have […]
I creep gradually towards the 3rd July… A plethora of small tasks fill the days, and an occasional day of “proper work” at The New Art Gallery Walsall to root me in the real world, occasional communications with students, reminding […]
I went back to Aarhus this week for a quick 2-day trip, doing children’s workshops, more like ten minute chats with groups of children (I have been amazed and impressed by how many schools and kindergartens have been bringing their […]
I knew that a nasty job awaited me after the exhibition opening; namely cleaning up the floor in Roskilde, but quite how nasty, I wasn’t aware. I am writing it up as a blog post because I think it presents […]

All over! Well not really; the exhibition has just opened, I’ll be back in ten days to do some artist workshops for children and there’s still the de install to think about, not to mention the floor cleaning which still […]
I was up at 4.50 this morning to get a train to Århus that would get me in for 10am. I returned to the hut at 10pm! My day at home was worth the five hour journey though. We kept […]
A crazy couple of days. Up at 6, leaving my hut at 7 and walking through the woods to the site. That and the breakfast call home helped me overcome the weariness, stiffness and footsore-ness to face the day ahead. […]
I feel immeasurably better than I did this time last night; even though today as usual went slower than hoped, still partly due to the rain. But this evening unlike last night is fine and mild, I’ve just walked back […]
Probably the hardest day of the entire project so far, and yet one in which I must remember a lot did get done. Hard for various reasons: it was physically long – I left the cabin at 7.15am and got […]
