Since 2008 The Artist’s Notebook has been
Paul Watson ’s studio journal containing notes on his ongoing artwork and related research, giving an insight into his creative process and artistic practice.
The blog posts also cover related subjects such as the weird, folklore & folk horror, utopianism, the post-apocalyptic pastoral and post-industrial, politics (mainly anarchism and Mark Fisher’s concepts of acid communism & capitalist realism), hauntology, masks, nature, exhibitions, ritual, and the English eerie.
No large language models (LLM ) or similar AI technologies were involved in writing the blog posts on here.
