Mother’s Day 2009
Maybe it was thinking about my Mum when I made The Hippy Pie that did it; maybe it was all the support and love she has given me during The Horribleness of the past couple of months, but for whatever reason, Mother’s Day seemed especially important to me this year so I made Bam* this, […]
S H E E P
On Sunday, my S H E E P focussed field-recording show played on London’s Resonance FM as part of the Framework afield programme series. You can stream the podcast for yourself here on the Framework website, for one week only. Here are the notes. /*framework*/ – phonography / field recording; contextual and decontextualized sound activity […]
Heston’s Feasts: costly & pointless, Discuss.
A small exchange on Twitter with one of my favourite contemporary writers/thinkers has prompted me to write and think a little about Heston’s feasts. I have been watching Heston’s Feasts with a mix of anticipation, intrepidation and curiosity. The episodes so far have gotten me thinking about food, imagination, ingredients, history, grand feasting traditions, the […]
More pretty cakes
The word is out there that I love all things featuring muffins, cakes, buns and biscuits in their design. This fact is now so famous that Liz’s mum – who I have never met – suggested to her when they were shopping somewhere, that I would love this plate. I so totally do. See how […]
Pretty cakes
Seen in Bath.
Bath…
I was in Bath for the past two days visiting with my lovely friend Isolde, who you may remember from the Pimp My Guide feature in The Missability Radio Show, and who is currently in Hospital. Naturally I felt that cakes were an essential enhancement to our time together, so I made these using the […]
The Hippy Pie and The Sweater Curse
Today I have made The Hippy Pie of All Hippy Pies. It is so worthy, so ethnic, so beany and so wholefoodsome that even the most stony-hearted carnivore may be swayed to the vegan way by its earthy brown, splodgy charms. Not that I have any plans on converting anyone, or on giving up sausages […]
Reading and Writing
I need to read more books. The pleasure of physical paper, pages and the smell of print is amazing and something I often forget in my Love affair with The Internet. Last night I read most of Nicholson Baker’s A Box of Matches. In it, he talks in a soothingly repetitive way about the ritual […]
The Sonic Breakfast Plate, SOUNDBANK and graphic scores
I was intrigued recently to note that at the same time that Love is Awesome was taking place, Grupat – a show featuring many installations and works relating to sound and objects – was running in Ireland. It is just my luck that an incredible, not-to-be-missed show was on at the same time as my […]
