Artist & Purveyor Of Obsessive Projects
Hello, I’m not dead! Not only am I not dead, but I’m making new work and I’ve finally started showing again. This is by far the longest gap I’ve had between shows since I graduated in 2002 but deliberately taking a break was very needful. Anyway, I’m delighted to announce that I’m in the Shoddy…Continue Reading “Tatterdemalion and Shoddy”
You know that thing where you’re so deeply involved in something that you completely miss the obvious? Well, I’ve been helping to organise an art exhibition in the shop windows of Hebden Bridge with the Hebden Bridge WI Rag Market. And I was just wondering how I could get more submissions for it when I…Continue Reading “Art submissions please!”
A blog. Oh my god, I have a blog? Actually I have two and they’re both languishing in sad and dusty state. Poor blogs. Hey Kirsty, what the hell happened to you? Oh you know, nothing much? My world fell apart & then I fell apart. After a very difficult 18 months, my husband and…Continue Reading “Hello again”
Hey there, this is just a quickie. I’m off to Brighton tomorrow because the lovely people at Fabrica Gallery kindly invited me to talk at this this event. The theme is artists who are using the internet as something other than documentation. I will, of course, be talking about 365 Jars. There are four artists…Continue Reading “I’m talking in Brighton”
Hi there, my lovelies. As regular readers know, I’m currently hugely busy over on 365 Jars and it’s basically eating my life. The project takes at least 2 or 3 hours most days and it’s often far more. When I started, I honestly thought I could work it around the other things that I had…Continue Reading “A few changes”

So, in an effort to be a little bit more on top of things, here’s the news for January. PS. You have to imagine me reading this aloud to…Continue Reading “Newsie McNewsfest”
My dears, I am taking some time off to hibernate. I have been pushing myself beyond my limits for months: I can’t even remember the last time I took a full weekend off, let alone worked normal hours. I need to eat good food; play in my art journal; have long lazy baths; read a…Continue Reading “Hibernating”
Ooh, categories vs tags, it’s like The Sharks vs The Jets. Except not. Other ways I could describe them. Categories are like tags on steroids. Categories are like your troop carriers and tags are the specialist troops that live inside them. Tags are little goblins but categories are orcs. Look, I’ve been up all night,…Continue Reading “Categories vs Tags”
Welcome to the Artist’s Eyeball launch party! Woo, streamers, balloons, cakes and small children peeing themselves with excitement (what, it could happen). Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and have a slice of cake… photo credit: Rubyran The Artist’s Eyeballs were quite insistent that they had never had a proper launch and that…Continue Reading “The Eyeballs have cake”
photo credit: ShironekoEuro[busy] 1) Customer Love challengers are amazing The support, love, ideas and kindness I’ve received from fellow challengers has been incredible. I’ve met cool new people and deepened relationships with existing people and this was undeniably the best part of the experience for me. If you are thinking about doing the next Customer…Continue Reading “19 things I learnt during Customer Love”
