Atelierhaus Salzamt, Linz
On Tuesday I am heading back to Austria to work for six weeks at Atelierhaus Salzamt in Linz. I was there for three months in 2009 as part of the Urban Interventions exchange with Liverpool Biennial so I’m thrilled to have been invited back.

MAKE SHIFT
As I trundle ever closer to my exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in July, I am keeping track of my thoughts, works-in-progress and bits of research material in a new blog here. The exhibition title is MAKE SHIFT, hence the blog name… can’t promise complete coherence, but hopefully it will give a bit more insight …
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
I had a great weekend at the park making some sketches with furniture for future works. These are places to shelter & hide. There is now a little bit of information about me on the YSP website, as well as dates for the show. This must mean it is really happening! *gulp*.
