Here is a simple blog collecting images I've made of soft toys. A soft toybox, u could say, of sorts. Soft toys are strewn across the burning Earth; a BBC documentary on black gold recently* began by presenting a selection of such specimens declared 'Made of Oil'. Yes, they are (or might be). But, what do we attach to these imperfect objects? What beauty is bound up in their sad stitches? What affection must we save in the fight against global catastrophe? Beloved soft ghosts gather to vigil and dream. Praise be to my inspirations, Jane Hissey and Old Bear (www.janehissey.co.uk). Plz send photographs of soft-toy-models should they wish to sit for this sweet A3 assembly. Thank you, Good Luck. Gratitude to fairs.

Log Books


ROMA, 3/3/23 -

I went on a school trip to Rome and made this log-book playing on the gross-ness of the British 'GRAND TOUR', and also fascinating over the Madonna & Child imago. Available on request (lol). The school trip was with the SWW DTP who are kindly funding my PhD antics & we were staying at the British School of Rome on Via Antonio Gramsci, which is a horrid/beautiful building built by famous colonialist architect Edwin Lutyens (boo).
