So I’ve been here for 5 days now and the general trend seems to be for good solid but unexceptional shows. Whilst everyone likes to see well constructed work they also want to be able to rave about something on a deeper level. Apart from The Author at The Traverse, which frustrated the hell out [...]

Hi
Welcome to my blog. This was intended as a place where I published work that was both finished and in progress. I'm trying to include more of the latter so feel free to pull me up on that, but even so it's a pretty comprehensive example of my 'oeuvre' so far (sorry I've always wanted to use that word).
Please have a nosey and let me know what you think - there are reviews and interviews galore and even a couple of pieces of independent thought. Any suggestions for future subjects most welcome.
