(This post was mistakenly made as a page, so it is quite out of date but not to worry – I am on a learning curve with this blog! I have copied and pasted content below): I receive a poem a day, in emails from the Poetry Foundation, today’s had this editor’s note: Editor’s […]

To do is to make, is to be
I feel that things are beginning to confirm themselves, clarifying the direction of my project – I am beginning to structure the proposal and shall write it up in a post soon. Jonathan’s Methodology lecture has helped in clarifying some matters that had been going around without anchor, in my mind for a long time, years […]
I made it so
the painting continues: I see the painting is beginning to come into itself – I am more and more wrapped up in it. Take a step back – we become too bound up in each other and I have to stay in control of this. Capture it, transfer it to this screen – […]
Primary Field
The following post is a reflection on an earlier draft post I was unable to complete at the time. I would like to share it rather than forget it – Returning to this primary field: First body completed by Blue Blue is a person? an organ of this body sky of its land An instant, […]
Unable to put into words
A bike ride across the fields a couple of evenings ago instigated some rudimentary snapshot photos of the dramatic sunset (I only had a pocket camera with me).

Experience tells me that the painting is about a quarter of the way through but I can’t be certain. Lighting conditions vary greatly from day to day […]
Bound Together in a Digital Age
I constantly reflect on this: The beauty of being able to connect with anyone in the world through the digital (our Skypes chats) is surely one of the great poems of our times – we are all alive and telling each other so, each in our unique individual way – a scenario which has perhaps, the potential […]
Next, Yellow
The painting continues: This, a primary field – one straight out of the Huge First Nothing. Red – What next? yellow? blue? Answer the same as before because it was right there beneath my hand – closest and therefore, in this instant, the dearest too. This is reason good enough? […]
First Red
In the studio again: moving the painting on – I can’t just stay in the same spot. The ground beneath my feet moves with me Though I am still in love with it, it is barely begun. I introduce red and cultivate its extension. The red suggests its own shape, I follow it […]
