Almost every inch of this beach was like a tiny abstract painting. If only I could slice of the delicious clay crust of this historic and rugged coastline. Natural installations are imminent.

Nothing like some blue clay on a beach to excite the ceramicist in me. There’s gonna be some digging. Watch this space.

Finally managed to get on the beach for some ‘field work’ last week. Itching to get started on some of the installations and sculptures I’ve been talking to the students about at Josephine Butler College. Can’t wait to see them get their hands dirty. The array of colours on this clay filled beach is stunning.

I have an enormous crush on Sol LeWitt and I’m very comfortable with that.

Detail. Detail. Detail. This artist gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Can you see what it is yet?

Artists look at the most ordinary things with a different eye. This is one of those moments.

A walk in nature always gets the creative juices flowing. Ideas forming for my new residency
