I’ve been enjoying playing with cyanotypes over the last few days. The paper was in a Sigur Ros box-set to promote their new live album ‘Inni’ that I was given for Christmas. Once the photos have been made you can […]

Internet access has been difficult since I moved unfortunately, but it has allowed me to dedicate more time to renovating the house. (Internet now sorted thankfully.) Today I finished painting my new studio – small, but just big enough to […]

Hello everyone who clicked the link on Stramash Space. I’m pretty chuffed that Kim Walker chose to feature my new videos on their site this week. I hope you find them interesting, hopefully something for everyone! It seems weird that […]

I’ve just been snatching the odd minute here and there during the past few weeks to finish off my videos and soundtracks started in NYC, other commitments getting in the way. Considering the lack of quality time to dedicate to […]

Editing the videos from NYC has allowed me to lose myself in great memories… The visuals are ready, I just need to work on the audio. The video I uploaded to vimeo this evening sticks out a little from the […]

Just finished this video, filmed in Toys’R’Us in Times Square, NYC – I was almost thrown out by a security guard! The lights on the wall next to the escalator reminded me of a Dan Flavin installation and was just […]

I’ve just returned from the opening of a show of my work in a museum north of Toulouse. I think it went well, lots of people wanted to talk to me about my videos, paintings and prints, but it did […]

I feel a new level of recognition has started in my artistic career – I received some hate mail yesterday. It came through the post – a page from a catalogue of an exhibition I’m showing in – it really […]

Yesterday was a momentous occasion – all the paintings I have been working on for the past few months are now ready for exhibiting. I can relax a little now. It feels like the end of a chapter – I […]

It was good to receive a flyer this morning from Silvie Turner advertising her upcoming artists’ book show – which includes ‘Path’ by me. I’ve been so bogged down by preparing paintings for exhibiting during the past few weeks – […]

Panic is a great motivator. I’ve got three solo shows and a group show coming up during June and July. Will I have enough work? As it is, no. I have been frantically creating and recreating. I took the drastic […]

It’s funny how you have to enter a particular frame of mind to be able to paint… for me, the process starts with detailed drawings based on zooms of nature; doing nothing also figures quite highly too, well, physically doing […]

I drove to Agen on Saturday to view the space for my show which starts in July – and very nice it is too. It’s in a museum dedicated to the work of Gertrude Shoen, a sculptor who gave many […]

I went to the opening of a show on Friday, works by two artists I vaguely know. The first: Doris Schlapfer, a friend of an artist who lives in the village and the second: Patrick Sauze who coincidently owns a […]

Usually I cast February off as the month to just get through – the coldest, dullest, quietest. . . isn’t it funny how lots of exciting things seem to happen when you least expect it. Last week I was contacted […]

This week I bit the bullet and finished the first in the series of scanned path videos. I’ve been living with the images for a while and wondering how to create a gripping video from them. First I colour-corrected them, […]

Instead of hibernating this winter I decided to lock myself in my studio and paint. I made up lots of 100cm X 100cm canvasses, surrounded myself with them and then got to work. It has been refreshing not to have […]

I’ve been curating an exhibition called ‘Rivesaltes: Landscape of Trauma’ which is showing locally before it tours. It is a show including the work of artists with whom I have collaborated – sound: Lois Laplace, Blaise Merino; sculpture: Deev Vanorbeek; […]

Its been a busy few weeks for me: screenings, painting and making a new video. One of the screenings is virtual and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne who runs New Media Fest. I submitted a video I made a […]

At last I’ve done it… made a video featuring my interview with Norbert Herz, the intern at the camp at Rivesaltes during 1942. I have been debating whether or not to make my videos self-explanatory, less abstract and more descriptive. […]
