Mapping - a-n The Artists Information Company

I think that I might be what you call ’an artist’s artist’. Other artists at the studio have really responded well to the two Rest (companion pieces), and not only artists but also a very well regarded known curator and […]

And then, coronavirus hit. We’d been hearing the news from Italy, the few cases in a ski resort not far from Grenoble, and then it was clearly becoming established throughout France. Educational establishments were shut down in early March – […]

A long hiatus since my last post. Obviously, a lot has happened since then… In this post I want to talk about how I was working in the couple of weeks before confinement kicked in (on 17 March in France, […]

As I walk around the city centre and other areas, I’m still feeling disturbed by how unloved the trees seem to be, and how it’s sometimes hard to feel their presence even though there are so many of them. It’s […]

Testing continues for the light sensitive panel. Painting sound with light is taking on a new life of its own and our practices are finding new paths.

As part of the bursary funded project I embarked on another two day research trip to Bristol to work with Ralph Hoyte and Phil Phelps to continue working on Stratum, a research and development project investigating the intersection of traditional […]

I should have known from previous experience that blogging in the middle of a big  intense project wasn’t going to happen. I’m looking back, 6 or so  months on, at my last posts and my intentions to write here about […]

Where did January and half of February go? The last six weeks have passed in a blur of activity. We got the fantastic news at the beginning of January that our grants for the arts funding bid to Arts Council […]

A studio visit with curator Helen Nisbet (currently curatorial fellow at Cubitt Gallery London) included discussion around mapping spaces, particularly the presentation and re-presentation of place in paint.  I have been deeply involved in a commission to make work in […]

      I set out with good intentions to write regular posts throughout this project and find I am lacking in this regard. I can make excuses such as juggling 4 school runs a day, then school holidays, 3 […]

I have a meeting in Taunton at 11am. According to Google maps, it’s a 2-hour drive. I follow the instructions dictated out loud by my phone the whole way ‘at the roundabout take the third exit and stay on the […]

Doreen Massey’s, ‘For Space’, chapter 11 ‘Slices through Space’. Maps, Massey writes present space as a surface that is both complete and closed, they provide ‘an order in things’(1), and allow us to find where we are and the route […]

As I reach the end of my residency the last few days have been very productive, including lots of studio time and a climb up Cadair Idris. In previous blogs I mention man made interventions and this seems to have […]

Over the last few days I have continued to work with what I have gathered on walks. Thinking about my place within the landscape being walked, it being dramatic in its scale and impression on me, mountainous, and very isolated […]

Arriving Sunday 16th August to begin my residency at Stiwdio Maelor in Corris, staying until 1st September. Corris is located in a beautiful setting at the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. I am immediately taken with the relationship between […]
