Trip to the island of Sumba
The clay I found here close to the sea has a fiery red orange colour. When mixed with salt water the properties are great for building. Not much time to experiment. Time spent mostly out at sea. Must return.
After an inspiring year of change
I have decided to leave my studio back in the UK after 12 years to go travelling for the next 6 months where I will be developing my practice as an artist.
Currently I am in Bali, Indonesia where I plan to create work with wood and raw earth. Following on from an artist residency earlier this year with Arteles in Finland, I am keen to continue my experience of working in the natural environement and observing my relationship with nature.

Alongside me is fellow artist and musician Ben Khan of MoreHumanSystems. Together we will be documenting our journey through a series of film, movement, sound and sculpture.
In December Ben and I will be travelling to Sarawak, Borneo to live and create work alongside an indigenous community in the jungle.
I will use this section of my site to post a journal of notes which will be regularly updated.
