10 Sep Drawing
Drawing is such a large part of what I do. I love drawing more than anything else. I spend the most time doing it. Before I get anywhere near a map and a knife I spend a lot of time working on the drawing. I'm trying...
09 Sep Imi Knoebel at the White Cube
The second exhibition currently on at the White Cube is by an artist by Imi Knoebel. I hadn't heard of him before (you can find out more here). I loved this work more than the Mark Quinn. The colours and the shapes are so beautiful and satisfying...
08 Sep Mark Quinn – Toxic Slime at the Whitecube

07 Sep An Afternoon in the V&A
I recently found myself with some time to kill at the V & A. I know I have a hard life! The museum was heaving, it was the school holidays and the last few days of the Alexander McQueen Exhibition. I yearned for some quiet...

01 Sep It’s good to be back
How was August for you? It feels like it's been a long time since I've been here. I'm in a space where August feels like it raced by but simultaneously slowed down to a stop. Is it possible to be racing and stationary at the same time? August has...
31 Jul Blogging break
This will be my last post until September. It always feels like a good time to take a break and take stock. I have a couple of projects I want to do and August seems a good time to get on with them. I will be...
29 Jul Japanese influence in my work
I've always been fascinated by Japan and Japanese art. So much so that when I was a teenager I used to have a Japanese symbol that I signed my name with. I can't remember what it is though. I can't quite work out how I never...
