The carvings are coming together and I am much clearer in myself what I am aiming for. It was good to have a break and dive into drawing and model making. I am carving sure of something without being fixed. This is a good place to be in and I can carve all day long,...
The studio at SVA is open again and I have been working on some drawings and paper models in my space down there. I got stuck with my stone carving for a few weeks and I thought it might be good to come at it from a different angle all together. These drawings are a...
The recent carving (first photo) had elements of relating to a curled up human form/baby that although organic and showing a formative development it is not what I want for my current carvings. I am after a vessel that 'holds' internal sound, I want the forms to be...
After carving a few lime stone spheres I am thinking about what determines their forms and to be honest I am quite confused. On the one hand I am trying to follow my instinct rather than research the physics of sound on the other hand I have a very limited...
In these strangest of times…we have been in lockdown since several weeks. Time takes on a whole other dimension, becomes timeless as the human made structures that normally are pinned to it have fallen by the wayside. I rarely steer my actions by a clock now,...

Over the last few weeks I have visited the crypt...each time noticing more qualities in the different spaces.Simon and I have been listening to a few recordings, randomly selected.Elle singing into the font in the second chamber (amazing reverb!)...a recording of my...
Birdsong…will it form part of the sound-installation? Or is it perhaps a different project all together? Not sure what it is about birds, did I ever really listened to them? I was always sure of them being there and all of a sudden I feel alarmed that perhaps one day...
I draw to think and get a feel for a subject I am interested in.
