Summarizing It is now time to take stock and reflect on my amazing journey taken thoughout this final project…The journey taken and the transition of one project into another at one stage felt like I had run aground mid stream […]
The time that I can have access to the laser leveler is very restricted, so I have been feeling a bit stressed ! as this means I can only work on my wall when I have the laser leveler. And […]
Over the past few weeks, I have been considering how my installation can relate to the work of other artists in relation to the representation of interiors and the element of distress. I have come across the work of Mike […]

Week 2 in the project space and I’ve got an assembly line for making the resin houses in place. I’ve worked out the problems with the bubbles and learnt not to mix resin in a polystyrene cup (it melts). I […]
IS THE ART WORLD BIASED? Part II of II Why is the “art world” of prizewinners, press darlings and highly visible British artists so unrepresentative of the ethnic make-up of the country, given that we have a lot of diversity […]
That damned hand… Work on my large canvas was going well. I was painting every other day on areas-so that there was always a dryer area to work on – this kept painting flowing in the time scale. One area […]

Making this blog is almost like the theoretical equivalent of laying out work for a catalogue or exhibition. In terms of allowing me to gather, assess and take stock of where my work is. Stepping back helps me to see […]
Day 2 in Greece began at 7.30. Breakfast was a pastry and coffee in a little cafe just round the corner from the hotel. We sat outside and enjoyed the moment. A taxi took us to the venue and we […]
