  • Dearne Valley Horse

    Field Notes #2The making of a Dearne Valley Horse It’s just over a year since my first entry (Read Field Notes #1) writing about my experiences working on the Discover Dearne Artist in Lockdown Project. The subsequent 15 months have been a real roller coaster in terms of trying to work through numerous lockdowns and…

  • Between grass and sky

    (Fieldnote #1) For the past few weeks, I’ve been collecting my thoughts and responding to the theme of ‘artists in lockdown’ for a project run by Discover Dearne. For me, this period of time has provided an opportunity to try and reconnect with some of the feelings and emotions I felt and still feel from…

  • Belonging Print

    As an artist experiencing the COVID lockdown period, I wanted to use the time wisely and I found it provided an opportunity to reflect on my past works and future directions. One piece of work I became reacquainted with was from 2012. It was some preliminary sketches for a print to accompany my installation ‘Belonging’,…

  • We will walk here again

    We will walk here againWastwater towards Great Gable This is a new piece of work celebrating nature and our beautiful landscapes. It also represents mental liberation from our own lockdown experiences. This work was started and completed in the last four weeks; it began simply as doodles whilst I was trying to imagine being able…

  • Three Trees

    During our self isolation period due to the coronavirus, I wanted to try and use my time usefully and do the things I usually don’t have time for. For me this means writing about the visual work I create and maybe exploring my reasons for creating it.

  • Barnsley Brick Project

    Bricks are all around us yet we seldom stop to look at them, or think about where they came from. Years ago, Barnsley had many of its own brickworks that made the bricks that helped construct the buildings we see around us and the industries they were home to. Each of these local brickworks stamped…

  • Neon River Commission

    I am currently working on my most recent art commission ‘Neon River’ for DVLP (Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership). I was commissioned to provide a series of art interventions connected to the River Dearne. The DVLP also commissioned other artists to raise awareness of the river, where it comes from, where it goes and the impact it…

  • British Road Sign Project

    October was a busy month. Including the exhibition of the British Road Sign Project at Humber Street Gallery, Hull. I developed the project in 2015 and worked with The Design Museum to install the signs at the museum during London Design Festival. It was great working with the team at Humber Street Gallery, it’s great to…

  • Soccer and Fashion Play Ball

    With the World Cup finally upon us, soccer seems to have made its way into just about every aspect of our daily lives. For some, like stylist and editor in chief of German fashion magazineAchtung, Markus Ebner, that’s nothing new. For him, as for many fans of the game from around the world, soccer is…

  • INSIDE – Trailer

    Toronto’s burgeoning independent gaming scene has dished out a number of unique releases over the past few years, but Queasy Games’ latest musical platformer for the PlayStation Network sets a new standard. When Queasy Games’ Jonathan Mak first decided to team up with artist and co-developer Shaw-Han Liem in 2008, little did they know their collaboration…

  • The Queen of Scream

    When Courtney Love calls you, you answer. We did exactly that recently, when Love—who’s been touring in Europe to promote her new scream-o-heavy, double A-sides, “You Know My Name” and “Wedding Day”—called us from her Nottingham hotel in the U.K. Our chat (which lasted for more than an hour) with the enthusiastic, focused, and seemingly…

  • Special Picks for June

    And now that at the proper time and place, after so long and wide a preliminary cruise, Ahab,—all other whaling waters swept—seemed to have chased his foe into an ocean-fold, to slay him the more securely there; now, that he found himself hard by the very latitude and longitude where his tormenting wound had been…

  • Strawberries on the Table

    Asparagus season is basically over. Garlic scapes are pretty much done too, as are ramps and fiddleheads. But rhubarb is still going strong in the New York area, at least for a few more weeks, and I am determined to take advantage of it’s tangy deliciousness as much as I can while it’s still available…

  • Honey Hunters of Nepal

    A novel set in the medium-flung future, with a plot that hinges on the theft of a kind of super-book. A super-book that is engrossing, interactive, networked; with pages that change before your eyes; that knows more or less everything. A science-fictional object that served as the lodestone for Amazon’s efforts, in the early 2000s,…
