I've just done my first 'Creative Catch-Up' with Jon Wright on BBC Radio Suffolk. This will be every Monday evening, just after the 7pm news.

Great news from my neighbour just 10 minutes ago, my exhibition 'Void' that took place over the Easter weekend in Aldeburgh is in the local newspaper. My neighbour has kindly given me her copy. I had to retrieve it from under her sleeping cat so any ideas of fame and fortune have been put in [...]

Excited how some of these chance encounters will turn [...]
Some photographs that my wonderful wife took last night of me setting up my exhibition and then sitting in an exhausted heap at the end of the installation. She really is an excellent artist assistant and much needed calming influence, where would I be without her...everyone should have one :)

As I mentioned in a previous post, the quantity of waste packaging per person in the UK is at a staggering 175kg a year. Only 25% is [...]
In my upcoming exhibition 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' I use rubbish as the basis and form of my sculptures. I also use everyday concrete to create these molds from packaging. Throughout history artists have found beauty in the ugly and mundane and used the unwanted waste of others to create art. For [...]
I have made some of the signage for my upcoming exhibition. At least one of our cats likes it :)
As I mentioned yesterday my upcoming exhibition 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' is all about the permanence of waste packaging in landfill. As a nation we produce some of the highest amounts of waste packaging per capita in Europe. Although many successful initiatives exist to promote the recycling of our waste packaging the [...]
