As my residency draws to an end, I feel slightly sad to realise that this will the last time I spend so much time in Hestercombe house. The smell and layout of the building has become a familiar dwelling and […]
As we all try and combat the January blues (again), I find it a useful pick-me-up to reflect on the previous year hoping that it will serve up some interesting revelation. 2014 was a productive year for me; I entered […]

I step out the airport taxi on to a sandy street. Sand! I know I grin, I’ve never lived anywhere where the city streets are sandy, and the exoticism thrills me. It’s now 3am, but the city doesn’t sleep. The […]
I have the good fortune of a whole row to myself on the airplane. I slump, put my feet up, then indulge in lying flat out across the three seats. However this feels far from indulgent. I’m uncomfortable, and apprehensive. […]
A collaborative project between sound artist Joseph Young and ceramist J Kay Aplin to create a body of work that responds to the landscape of the Shetland Isles, inspired by the practice of John Cage.
Interest in my Thread of Life project is certainly gathering pace, although I still have a long way to go with my crowd funding campaign. This week I’ve been invited to BBC Radio Sheffield to talk about the project, and […]
As it took some time to post my first entry, I think it is appropriate to spend some time recording the activities of October. Preparation for one of these events began some months ago when Barton’s in Beeston, Nottingham announced […]

After finishing my book yesterday, I was left with lots of different ideas for how to start testing and playing. I wanted to carry on with the mini-projects I had begun to set myself (I like good project), they were […]
Today’s mini-project revolved around the notion of how we remember surface colours and how our eyes respond to light. Batchelor writes about the way in which we see colours as the property of the object. Even in different lighting conditions; […]
