As Edinburgh trudges inevitably towards the get-out I find myself ill in bed. Proper snotty, chicken soup, hot/cold ill. Yuk! I almost collapsed during the show yesterday. Since then I’ve spent the time re-cooperating; listening to This American Life and steaming my head. I’m getting there. I’m dreading the show today but I’ve [...]

I wrote an article for Threeweeks about reviews and artists’ responses to them. You can read it here. In the article I conclude that in order to get over the bad reviews we have to first get over the good ones; that despair from a bad review is not artistic self-loathing or [...] The kind and discerning Bruce Dessau has seen fit to write about my show on his blog.
