Ideas behind Degree show paintings. I want to paint a non-typical image of the sea. They will be imagined images, so are not copied from any reference. I want my paintings to be an impression of the sea, or feelings […]
Why I paint the way I do My process has been hindered due to the MDF. I would usually work with a lot more water. But because I am now conscious of how easily they can bow my approach therefore […]
The Finished Circles. As the artist it’s one of my pleasures to work on a painting one day and come in the nexy when it’s dried and looks completely different, (but always in a good way). And with the particular […]

Changes and challenges I came across Originally, I thought that I would fit all the quotes on the wall and I was worried about the size of my letters not being big enough. Turns out I have too many quotes […]
This week I was deeply affected by the news story of the killings in Santa Barbara, California – another human tragedy for six young, innocent people and their families and friends and for the US and their gun laws. How […]

Final piece/ Degree show I have finally added the finishing touches to my final piece; I have put it all together and can finally see the outcome of all my hard work that I have put in over the past […]
Final Summery Throughout my final degree project I have wanted to really capture and sum up all my past an pervious work that I have create over my time at ucs. Over the summer last year I began to realise […]

This is a trial piece I made intended to show after my MRI scan with text. I thought that it would be interesting to use three methods of recording information and write with each method (Typing, typewriting, handwriting), then screw […]
I decided to not use the video from the last post in the end as i felt that the MRI scan with text is much more powerful when played on a loop with just the words “I don’t remember, I […]
