Normal Service Will Be Resumed
It has been brilliant having a physical exhibition, just being able to see the scale of the works, being able to create links between them which brings about new interpretations and to be able to stand back and see the work properly away from the confined space of home. The gallery looked lovely, br...
Another exhibition blog
Install nearly done which is a good job as today is the last day for it. I have noticed that my typing has got progressively worse as the exhibition gets closer so forgive any errors I don’t spot. A couple of things need ‘making better’ and my main work Interfluent needs installing...

We can take adv...
Technical problems and plug sockets
Years ago, I think it might have been said that art did not need a plug socket. Nowadays, they are a requirement for many art forms. I have been thinking about an installation that I am planning, 30 headphone sockets, 30 extension cables, 30 inputs into …. and inputs into sockets. Can I split ...
To do lists, how to do.
Trying to have weekends with no admin. but I end up spending much time thinking. Now I have to remember what I have been thinking! Today, it is about contact emails for the flyer, notes for speaking to the gallery and thoughts re exhibition submissions. Problems seem to be arising with plug socket...
