The show build is underway. For my part we have already hung the paintings and the computers (with headphones placed on floor cushions in place in front of each of them) to show the videos – one for each painting. My display looks simple and clear, the wall only allows five paintings but that is […]
The matter of signing the paintings has always been problematic to me. I do not like to disturb the surface without careful consideration first and at best find the act of signing something uncomfortably self-conscious. Sometimes this is not the case. My latest idea is to make a handprint on the back of the work […]

Increasingly women are making their places as artists and two contrasting painters, both women, come to mind immediately, the first is Etel Adnan. I mention Etel Adnan first as I find her particularly interesting in that she was […]
The painting, begun on 11th October, has been taken to a point where I am thinking of it as being finished. I have to look at it, reflect over a period of time to see if it gains strength in itself, or falls short and if so, work out in what way it seems […]
It has taken several days to structure the latest passage of paint, as shown below. The header image is the whole work as it is today. The limit of its fineness is reached when the oil paint becomes sticky due to its oxidation. I have never counted as I go – that would be too arduous […]
