Work's been hectic recently - been editing videos for two screeings coming up in February - one at The Firestation in Windsor which will run concurrently with a photographic exhibition by Bleach Box and the other a screening organised by Ottica TV at Better Bankside next to Tate Modern.

Every year I apply to 700is Reindeerland, a video exhibition in Iceland, every year I am rejected and I'm not sure why - what I make is the sort of thing they're looking for and I've shown with artists who have been successful with their applications - one of life's mysteries . . . the point of this is a positive one: this year they are showing a still from all the applicants in a touring show in Iceland. So, the effort applying was worth it, one of the venues is CIA - Center of Icelandic Art in Reykjavík - wouldn't it be great to visit?

I now feel a new chapter in my creativity starting - I've been making sound, video and editing for months now. My studio has been too cold to paint so this morning I moved Louis and Emilie's toys out of the way on the ground floor of our house (can't really call it a lounge as it's just one big open space) and set up 16 canvasses, primer and some brushes.

What am I going to do? No idea, but it's a start.

I hope Louis and Emilie will understand when they get home!
