Being fascinated by the human body, is what led me to my subject for my dissertation. The dissertation ran along side my practical work. This interest for the human body and expression led me down the path of the creative […]

With this next canvas I thought I would experiment by painting out the whole of the surface with Paynes Grey (love that colour) and then will use a block of wood and sandpaper to rub back through the surface and […]

It started with an idea to use an old painted canvas as a backing for another piece of work. I wanted the backing canvas to be a dark colour, so started to paint out the portrait with Paynes Grey (I […]

No….I’d got it all a bit wrong. I wanted to take photos of Red House Farm and planned a walk with Cosmo to go past it, or around it and take a few photos. I had made a red pigment […]

Taking 10×10 to Colchester was a really positive experience for me. There was a great turnout with over seventy exchanges made in all and I had a lot of animated conversations with people who seemed genuinely interested in 10×10 and […]

  AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Think I’ve recovered!   All cake was consumed.   The work remains up in the gallery/project space, I continue to study how it works. If this space is to take nine bras, they will […]

With my beachcombery attitude to this stuff, I keep on picking things up until it gets too dark and cold, and then look in the bag to see what the day’s tides have thrown up. Smudgy paint, thin, drawing that […]

This is a quick energetic work I completed today. I was really testing the spacial depth as inspired by the Sean Landers paintings. What interested and excited me was the freehand writing he uses and the layering.  I wanted to […]

this is the heart of the machine, this will be where the machine gets its source of power, this is a fan which has been modified to accommodate a device to hold string which is attached to a bicycle wheel. […]

I’ve created a series of sketches prior to all my cutouts in order to influence my ideas of patterns I’ve liked, and also to test how the colours would interact together. I like the idea of vibrant and bold jewel-like […]

I’ve run into some issues with my larger piece. Due to the size of the piece it can’t fit comfortably onto a work table and due to this I use the floor to lay it on and cut out whilst […]

I began this piece very early on in my project and it has been a very slow work in progress ever since.  It is the first layer of the largest scale piece I have created to date and I chose […]

This is the first piece that I attempted this year. It is compromised of four separate layers of paper and card and cut into assortments of different symmetrical patterns. The Patterns have been inspired by an assortment of different Patterns […]

I’ve begun my Degree Project by using the Technique of Paper Cutting which I began using in my previous year. My Theme is the collaboration between Past and Present, taking the art form of paper cutting, which had been used […]
