beginning blog...

I've decided to start a blog in order to compile an ongoing diary of thoughts and observations in relation to my art practice, with the odd rant or random thought thrown in. I've kept written diaries and sketchbooks on and off for years, mainly as a means of exploring ideas and possibilities when making work. For me the interesting bit has always been the slow realisation that certain ideas continue to reoccur over time, though sometimes in different formats, and I've found this to be a useful compass. So it seemed logical for the next step to be a blog - a place where ideas can unfold and at the same time, have information chronological and easily accessible for future reference.

I don't know much about blogs per se', other than they seem to be everywhere and about eveything these days, so this is very much uncharted territory for me. The disipline of writing something ongoing appeals though, and hopefully it will evolve into something interesting, informative and at times amusing.
