AUDIOBLOG – Please click here It’s been ages it seems… My feet haven’t touched the ground! I’m sat with a piece of warm raspberry crumble-cake and a mug of Lady Grey tea, mulling over the events of my first open […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I’ve been saying it for a while, but more recently getting away with it less…. “I’m not a musician or a performer!” Depending on your definitions, at least one of these is now not true. […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here A bit of a recap… 29th January is a first for me… So I’m looking back over the events that led to it with more than a little wonderment and disbelief really, that it should […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Here I sit then, in a state of bewildered contemplation about the work. For about five years now I’ve been working on things to do with relationships, mainly between children and parents. About two and […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I’ve been listening to the songs a lot, obviously, as they are playing into the gallery. I’ve also been reflecting on live performance of the same songs. The differences in process fascinate me, 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 […]

The edges of people don’t stop at their skin… This phrase arrived in a poem I wrote over a year ago, before the collaborative/joint exhibition with Bo Jones. I suspect this post might meander about a bit, but I feel […]
I’m going to explain this project in terms of how it came to me, as a slow-burn, unfolding, enlightenment. It developed from the purchase of a vintage bra from a junk shop on Mill Rd Cambridge, to this mammoth year […]
The project with the bras and the songs is growing. Its form is becoming clearer as I work at it. It has a purpose and a focus. I have written lots of words, some will be discarded along the way, […]
I was asked on Facebook to list the ten books that had had the biggest effect on me… As I read other people’s lists I became more and more intimidated, weighty tomes were peppered among worthy novels. There were the […]
Day 1 of LOAF14 is over, and it went well I think… The art exhibition is looking good, I’ll post a few pics tomorrow maybe, if I get time to take some. The quilts look bright and beautiful… true craftswoman-ship […]
