Michaela Nettell is showing a video, ‘Garden’, as part of our moving image screening on the 23rd May. It is a beautiful work that sits perfectly within our rural setting on the edge of a small market town. It reminds […]
THERE HE GOES… I have gone back to ‘There He Goes’. I always thought I wanted to but I needed some time away from it to think and identify what it was I wanted to change. In the meantime the […]
Preparing for Degree Show and reflection on project… I think I have always know that this project has been bigger than my degree project and so in away you could say I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. For […]
It seems to have happened that I am now living in China! Well, more precisely, studying. I have been here three months now and for some reason known only to the government’s internet censor, a-n is now blocked. Who was […]
Today I have been trying to take some photos of me full body length for what I can use in my degree show. However I am not sure they are really want they want or that they work particularly well. […]
This month I have my second exhibition at The Freudian Sheep gallery[1] in Ipswich. I have two pieces in the show again made from the combination of wood and rope. They are visually similar to a lot of my pieces […]
Thinking of disguise today ,I made a return to the print room to create some ghost like Images. Experimenting with religious themes again.
Even though we are coming to the end of this degree project I am still finding artists work that is inspiring and also relates to my subject matter and me. Thanks to social media like Facebook and Instagram I came […]
The past week has been so hectic and quite stressful at times putting up my work for the degree show. I have two different ‘installations’ on show in different departments. The whole experience has been nerving and challenging, thinking of […]
Tommy The source image for this portrait was selected after carefully viewing hours of video footage. Initially I look for people whose character, stories and experiences interest me, but with that in mind, these being portraits, they must have a […]
A Tissue? Ok so I tried this small drawing on a tissue used by a friend for cleaning up around the studio. Not wishing to endorse negative stereotypes about homelessness I felt I still had to deal with them and […]
Positive and Negative Space pt. 2 I would like to talk a little bit a Katharina Grosse. She is without a doubt my most influential artist at the moment (which I’m sure is apparent) due to the fact that she […]
The recently opened Bury Sculpture Centre is sited in two large rooms that until recently were part of the Lancashire town’s central library. But while the move has prompted protests from local people, the centre’s instigator insists it is not a case of library services being cut to make way for a new art space.
Drawings inspired by images from magazines, books and the Internet, a sound and sculpture installation made in response to a gallery’s architecture, and private histories laid bare through a series of photographic compositions – this week’s selection includes exhibitions in Edinburgh, Wakefield and Manchester.
This month’s top ten Artists talking blogs sees the first, second and third slots remain the same, but with new entries by Simon Fell, Nick Kaplony and Niki Dennis there’s plenty of jostling for attention.

Must a sculptural invention be real or not??? The question I’m forced to consider is how can one enhance the beauty of nature? Does creating a physical sculpture make a positive or negative statement? If a thing exists in reality, […]
Close to completion. I have working very hard the last few weeks to get all my crochet cubes sewn together in order to get to the next step of my degree project. So this post is to say that i […]
Completion of Beagle Sculpture Another mile stone within my project. I have finally got my beagle sculpture finished. I finally attached the ears, the ears that are the most important part. I wanted them to be stretched out to show […]
