Apologies to those who follow my art feed here. As of Sunday, I’ll be posting art and culture related stuff on I’d encourage everyone to consider how much you need duplication and manipulating by the corporates. Nick.

People ask who the cat is in my exhibitions. The short answer, I haven’t a clue. She pays me a visit in the studio, sometimes sleeps, sometimes explores, but rarely stays for more than a few minutes. See the “studio visitor” in Locus Exhibition at @ArtsKeele until 9 December.

Here’s the playlist to accompany Locus Exhibition. Enjoy:

Join the artist for an @ArtsKeele mid-exhibition celebration in Chapter’s Café, Keele University from 6:30pm. Following this event, you’re just a short walk to Keele Concerts venue. Parking is free on the SU campus car park after 5pm.

A pleasant surprise.

Kelvin Bowers ran from Stoke to Sydney in the 70s. I now meet him for a pint in St Ives when I’m able. His story features in my Locus Exhibition at @KeeleUniversity

“Ring o Roses” is inspired by the talent of @KatherinePriddy and an intimate tiny Madeley gig back in 2022. Although the canvas is warped and out of square, stored in my cold studio, it’s being exhibited for the first time in my Locus Exhibition at Chapters Café, @ArtsKeele

So very pleased to be holding a solo exhibition at Chapters Café, @KeeleUniversity in conjunction with @ArtsKeele . Locus Exhibition runs from Wednesday 30 October until the end of the year and aims to give visitors a sense of place and people of the locality.
