I have been playing around with shredding again today as way of relaxing so I have found out. Its been a funny old day what with the odd energy out there with the tube strike, over crowded buses and my ongoing struggle with settling into my job, flat and London....and it's not passed me by that whilst watching 'Pineapple Express' I am stuffing re-sealable plastic bags!

Week: June 1 - 7 2009

6th June

Finally getting around to updating the blog so I can follow the Artist Log Book format provided. Anything like Captain's log book? Well it is a journey already

Today been working on concepts for the P1 show at Payne Road as part of Bow Arts Trust Open Studios 19th - 21st June 2009. Cycled to source plain plastic bags but with no joy, but bumped into Corinne and she has a source! http://corinne.manifesto-art.co.uk/

Going to walk around the neighbourhood and along the way record the wildlife I encounter. Finally now I am not within a much more natural place my thirst for nature has become a driving force...as per usual weird old mind of mine, miss a thing once its gone! Whilst in Enford I was often over-awed by nature now I am in London at the heart of various estates I am just pleased/relieved when I spot any rose or tree!

Today is the latest opening at The Nunnery 'Olympic Visions' http://www.bowarts.org/thenunnery/index.php?code=42

Week: May 25 - 31 2009

Reflections, blurs of light and sparkle...

9th & 10th May 2009

IKEA bed day! Oh the joys of flat packs, odd shaped screws and almost impossibly fiddly attachments...thank god team Stanford made it over

And at least lunch was in the glorious sunshine on the balcony

And with a fully put together sofa the cushions came out of their bags

8th May 2009

I had the pleasure of supporting the delivery of a workshop in The Heritage Flat, 123 Balfron today with Corinne Felgate, uber artist and fantastic educator. Pics to come as they are stuck on the picture drive @ work...drat!

Here's some of the amazing view in the meantime...

1. Carradale House - my flat is 3 along from the top and 8 down (see the yellow chairs!)
2. Canary Wharf
3. The Gasworks, off Bow Creek
