Origin 2009



I will be showing at  Origin  -  Somerset House - in the autumn - just heard that I've been selected.  Very exciting - the planning starts NOW!

Klara Kristalova



Very excited!  I discovered the work of Klara Kristalova the other day.  These two pieces are called 'Blackbird' and 'Bad News'.  There was a review of her show at the Alison Jacques Gallery by Claudia Clare in this month's Ceramic Review. Any exhibition titled 'Where the Owls Spend their days' is worth a visit - except I missed it!

Bluecoat Display Centre




This time last week we were in Liverpool delivering work to the Bluecoat Display Centre - a fantastic gallery packed with all sorts of wonderful work by a diverse range of artists -Stephen Bird, Emmanuel Cooper, Claire Curneen and Emma Rogers,  among them.  My work will be there for 1 month as part of their 'In the Window' showcase.

We did a quick explore of the city -saw Richard Wilson's Turning the Place Over - I loved this   - the scale and ingenuity captivated me. Also drove up to see  Gormley's 100 naked men on Crosby beach.  We were freezing in clothes.
