Hope you read this it would mean alot to explain my absence...

Hey guys.

I'm feeling down at the moment because I haven't seen my fella for over a month n thats sh*t. Sorry to be soppy... Sitting here thinking how crap I've been with this site of late as well. I'm so sorry to have abandoned the place. Trust me it's not because I haven't got new work to show or because I've just been totally lazy.

So what have I been doing?

Well. First off I, along with my sister and a couple of mates have taken over an 'underground' gallery and studios in Carlsile. At the moment we are working towards improving the quality of the gallery space. Some idiot photography students have destroyed the real wood unvarnished floors with paint and more besides and the place needs painting and the ceiling needs fixing [roof sprung a leak last week]. The plan is to have the exhibition space up to scratch for the new semester around the middle of September.

Secondly I have taken on two jobs. One as an exhibition technician [basical built and curated the thing] and invidulator and two a dead end shop job to pay off the debts...


Thirdly, and thirdly is probably the most important. The last three and a half months have been the last of my degree. I have kept the accounts, organised the catalogue, photographed all the work for powerpoint + records and been doing my own work for the degree show as well. I've never felt so drained emotionally... physically... in every possible way. But I got my results a few days ago and I got a 2:1! Which brings me to my last piece of news...

I'm going to apply for my Masters Degree... this time though I'm gonna do Landscape and Environmental Arts.

Hope you are all well and I speak to you all soon.

Lots of Love
