Making the “Nomad Journey” Fire Cube
Throwing out ideas is like scattering seeds … if they land on fertile ground they sprout. With nurture, light and love, they grow. Fact. I do it quite a lot…being a farmer and an artist, it’s part of my job description. In the art world people constitute fertile ground….I travel a lot and meet a […]
On the way to Astana, Kazakhstan…
Europe gets bigger and bigger the further east you fly. Landmarks get harder to pinpoint and the forest to field ratio seems one minute to favor forest, then not, as huge tracts of fertile fields unfold for miles and miles. So far so flat.. Perhaps understandable how Napoleon and Hitler were lured East with false […]

Changchun Fire Ball Burn – Mini Film
This mini film of my fire ball burn was shot by my Haitian friend Claude Montes whilst attending the 12th Annual China Changchun International Sculpture Symposium. The tension captured in the very random footage was because of the symposium authorities attempts to try and put out the fire…which we stopped them from doing. So the intensity […]
A Fireball for Sir Richard Branson

Nature’s Victory – Upside Down Pyramid
I am back in the UK working out of a barn in Shawford, Hampshire, which my friend has kindly lent me. “Nature’s victory” ,the upside down pyramid, is taking shape….The cutting and grinding has begun….not a bad day, after some equipment and power issues were overcome. It’s always more work than one imagines….why didn’t I […]
Back In Changchun – Closing Ceremonies
Coming back to the La Tour Morgan Suites after my 2 week sojourn to Beijing and Qinghai, was a bit like coming back to school. I was glad to be met at the airport by my trusty interpreter, Sunshine. She had arranged a swish committee SUV to collect me and glide me back into the […]
Making Buddhas By The Yellow River
Waking up in the drab, decaying, government hotel could have dampened any solo travelers spirits. The CCP standard hotel room layout (it was exactly the same as our hotel in Tong ren) has been left behind in China’s reinvention of itself. The bath-tub was rusty, half the lights didn’t work, nor the television, there was […]
