For the next year I will be working on this film for Discovery. We will be travelling to every ocean to film a record breaking attempt to go to the deepest point in each of the 5 oceans. We should come across some pretty cool creatures too.

Alongside the portraits are images and text that

Most of the artists regularly attend painting workshops and Andrew James has a long waiting list. For some it was their first time using oils, for everyone it was a successful workshop.

Here is a short photographic film of their work and the atmosphere in the workshop.

News has come through that I will be off to BM19 to complete a photo-story that I have been working on in collaboration with designer maker Richard La Trobe-Bateman and seasoned 'burner' Kurt Westerlund.

At Kurt's invitation Richard has designed the 'Gap' bridge, an exciting design that gives the user not only a physical experience of crossing, but, due to a gap at the top, a metaphorical one too.
