The Dissertation Series joins the graduating art students with the Degree Show Open Exhibition featuring Various Artists on the BA (Hons) Fine Arts Course at the University of Lincoln, Greestone Center, Lindum Hill, Lincoln, May 2007
On leaving the exhibition
I strode up the Greestone steps
In the pouring rain
At the top I caught my breath
In the Cathedral Garden
I thought of the depth
And was perplexed
As before
On another ceremonious occasion
Opening drawers
Watching butterflies take to the sky
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

The Dissertation Series continues with a response to the WE THE MODERNS Exhibition featuring Henri Gaudier-Brzeska at a fairly overcrowded Graves Art Gallery - Sheffield, April 2007
Gaudier-Brzeska Line
Cut it straight
Point out the detail
Turn the corner
Sharp
The war is upon us

Artistic Motivation - Million Dollar Collar
The Dissertation Series turns to Craft as Art with the response to the Seeing Dragons Exhibition featuring Nora Fok at the Harley Gallery, Worksop, March 2007
A million dollar collar
Safety pins and tweezers
The parachutes of artichoke seed heads
If ever one thing confirmed the beauty of art and craft
If ever one exposition showed the complement of art and craft
If ever doubt was mistaken in the search for truth
If ever life for youth
Don't go there
For you are art; however here we see you
A million dollar collar
Safety pins and tweezers
The parachutes of artichoke seed heads
If ever one thing confirmed the beauty of art and craft
If ever one exposition showed the complement of art and craft
If ever doubt was mistaken in the search for truth
If ever life for youth
Don't go there
For you are art; however here we see you

Artistic Motivation - Miami
The dissertation Series continues with responses to the Abstraction, Extracting from the World Exhibition, Various Artists, Millennium Gallery - Sheffield, February 2007
Miami
I don't think so, no I'm sure
We never ever have met
By the washing powder you say
Well, unless it was special offers
I doubt it though
I'd be most unlikely to stray so far
Action
Cameras roll
Pan in pan out - cut across the set
Ladies; in the aisles please
I don't think so, no I'm sure
We never ever have met
