My incredible PhD supervisor - Venda Pollock - once suggested to me that there was such a thing as 'writing for research' and 'writing for thinking' and that the two can often do very different things. This blog is a collection of my 'writing for thinking' during my PhD. That is to say that its not all academic writing, but rather explores ideas in a rough-and-ready sort of way. Some of it is crap.... other bits of it are not bad. One or two entries are good. But, as a whole, it represents a keen development in the way i think about art, and in that sense, its important thing to present publicly.
