the train diary
Every journey to Lincoln is annotated in a sketchbook ( detail above). Informed by a reading of a single chapter from W.G.Sebald’s book ‘Rings of Saturn’. Thoughts and observations are written down as they occur with no linear logic.

- getting back on track: latest project in progress August 18, 2009LATEST PROJECT: track Using images of ‘migrant’ plant life found along a disused railway line in Oxfordshire over which I am superimposing sets of three words which reflect on not only the migrant plant histories but also reflect wider current concerns with displacement, nationality and sense of place. The Didcot to Newbury and Southampton railwa […]
- Moogee at Goldfactory: July 2008..Woofism August 18, 2009Moogee the art dog has been savaging the pretentious, the idiotic and all the other manifestations of the I.A.W.

- Flower art August 4, 2009This images below are created through using wordpress CMS – the images are individual jpegs and the software draws them from the uploads area of a wordpress database. As they are each stored as full images and thumbnails I can use them as a ‘Flower Typewriter’ and write any message I wish. The original images come from [...]

- Jeanette Winterson – ‘What is art for?’ – Guardian 2002 April 14, 2008Art’s counter-culture, however diverse, holds in plain sight what the material world denies – love and imagination. Art is made out of both – a passionate reckless love of the work in its own right, as though nothing else exists, and an imaginative force that creates something new out of disparate material.
