18th April 2014 The final set of images in this group are the ones in the common room on the Arabian chair cushions. The top two images are the only ones I like however again a foot has been cut […]
25th April 2014 I have now managed to get a second load of pictures done in Abu Dhabi these pictures turned out far better thank the last set I changed the location and positions of the models however kept them […]
25th April 2014 With these images I did have to crop them slightly to achieve the best composition. This I was able to do as unlike in the previous set of images these were of a good enough quality to […]
25th April 2014 When photoshopping the images I was tied between leaving the blue in the image or the pink of the skirt. After trying out both I decided that there was so much blue I felt just the subtle […]
25th April 2014 These last two images are two of my favourites the poses are more natural the camera is positioned in the right place there are no cut off limbs. If anything I think the last image could be […]
5th May 2014 After seeing the last set of images turn out so well I wanted to try taking some photos myself. I was able to get hold of 3 lots of ballet uniform, 3 willing models and some masks. […]
5th may 2014 As you can see in the images I have been experimenting with different types of masks. I like the black lace masks as I feel they fit more in the theme with the ballet dancers whilst still […]
5th may 2014 In these images I was experimenting with not seeing the models face (not having them look at the camera) I also added wellie boots into one of the images as the strange object. Ballet dancers in wellie […]
5th may 2014 These images were taking on some ruins in Ipswich town centre. The old church ruins make for a really interesting backdrop for my ballerinas and the arches allow me to centre my images completely positioning the three […]
5th may 2014 These images were taken the other side of the church ruins. The wall they are sat in front of is not very attractive however it would not be hard to remove in Photoshop. I could easily make […]
12th may 2014 This is another set of images taken in Abu Dhabi this time they have been taking in an abandoned house and construction site this has got to be one of my favourite sets of images they are […]
15th may 2014 While editing the background out of this image as I had first thought it was ugly and wanted it white or to put another background into it I have now decided it is more strange and uncanny […]
19th May 2014 For my final piece I decided to use a mix of both the last set of Abu Dhabi Images and the pictures I had taken at the park and church ruins. I edited all the images into […]
Final A1 Banner Images
In the future I will continue to work on large canvases, but maybe not quite as large as 2m x 2m as this size is very inconvenient to transport. I will continue to work from the unconcious and attempt to […]
Is God a Girl? This is a article I found Interesting and thought provoking. Bettany Hughes is a expert in acient History and questions whether god is a girl? Bettany Hughes challenges the belief that women cannot be priests, she […]
The Stuff of Life. (Part 2.) The previous post has for some reason truncated my list of “stuff.” So I have added the missing bit at the bottom. Also, Elena Thomas’s response to previous post, got me thinking and needed […]
Today was the first day of my short residency at the Angears Centre, Lakeside. I am making a 2m drawing in ink on primed paper. I’ve made bigger drawings and I’ve primed paper on a large scale but never this […]
Two weeks in, three weeks until install. Today I’ve spent another day working with dancer Sophie Tickle. We’ve been playing with hand gestures that convey a sense of displacement and with gestures that create a refuge. Thinking about how this […]
Representation and culture, part whatever (this one’s gonna run and run, I fear … ) and so the culture wars begin … actually they have been pretty quiet wars, but they are on nevertheless. I started writing about the way […]
The w20 Studio website is an active sketchbook and a place for both artists to gather and reflect on the work in progress.
This blog post is dedicated to my beloved boyfriend/partner (depends if I want you to think I’m older than I am, or younger) who let me take his car to Northumberland because mine broke at the weekend. It turns out […]
After a year of chopping and changing on the Spike Island sublet merry-go-round, I finally have a permanent space. I am very pleased to be in studio 26, sharing with artists Rich Broomhall and Helen Grant. Every studio and every […]
Well, here we are – nearing the end. I’ve just spent what has to be one of the better/more rewarding weeks at university, setting up my degree show in and around the Black Space. It’s been a joy to see […]
I just haven’t got the time to write here too… This crazy, I think the course needs to be re-scheduled as it doesn’t work for full timers. It’s all fun, that’s all I can say. Going to go to bed […]
