Attic, Nottingham
10 – 26 April 2014
I’ve decided to work outwards from my base in London and visit the nearest sites first. These are a historic tree which you can enter through a small door built into the tree, and a grotto built by a Quaker […]
The next leg of the project involved meeting up with the senior archaeologist from the MoD to look at getting access to the Plain. Again many e-mails back and forth and eventually a meeting date was set. I have some […]
FINALLY, SUCCESS. Following my previous advice, I would like to assure you that I am dressed for success (fluroescent ‘you can’t miss me’ trousers + fluffy housewife slippers) and am mentioning this only in that these VITAL nuggats of information […]
I want to try and explain how I work to help me understand and articulate it better. Here goes… I returned to the solitude of my studio (a room in my house) after a few days away. I have the […]
Four days left in Southend. Feeling a bit paralysed on what to do next, and I’ve found that writing things down here has helped in the past. I made some models of tiny houses, made a silicone mould and then […]
Well… bit of a dilemma… Here I am in Jamestown New York, with all these events planned for me, and the little tickle in the back of my throat that I thought was because of spending so much time in […]
It’s difficult to talk about previous work. It’s been a while and although I want to make new work I feel like I need to revise everything and post it here so I can see the journey from the beginning […]
A good old fashioned list is how I get through a busy day. Tick off and get things done. I make sure the whole day can fit on to one post it (achievable) and the list may also have scheduled […]
I have been working on this painting today, I think it is finished, at least for now. I have continued to work in an automatic way, allowing my unconcious to speak, I have tried to create a flow between my […]
Taking some time to see what rises to the surface since returning from Jamestown NY a couple of weeks ago, and through reflecting talking with family friends and fellow artists, I’ve realised that its the conversation and relationships which are […]
CONTINUED FROM LAST POST A couple of days in to our stay, Deb told me she thought I would find much in common with her Jamestown Community College colleague and friend Shannon Bessette, (Debra is art professor there). Shannon is […]
Over the Easter break I have had some of my paintings framed and done more work on two of my canvas paintings (with a view to choosing some of this work for my final degree show). I’ve also had time […]
I’ve been thinking about how best to present some of my photography in my degree show and have decided to make a book. This will be a story told by images and few words. The images will be drawn from […]
The distant Horizon – Painting Today I compleated two acrylic wash painting’s that I have been working on over the last ten days. I feel that they have developed well through the experimenting and application of wash applied, using both […]
On wednesday 23rd april,at UCS, I met with Matt the film technicain who worked with me and showed me how to edit 3 small films made of the shoreline sea sky and horizon, I edited parts not nessesary and linked […]
I am working with a filmmaker and we decided, for our first venture, to do a documentary about The Ceramic House. Another filmmaker friend has been conscientiously documenting, through film, all the previous exhibitions at The Ceramic House over the […]
I’m so pumped up right now! (Lego movie got to me…) I’ve just been to see Matisse’s cut-outs at Tate Modern (see Blue Peter’s coverage of it here, skip to 12 minutes in http: //www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b041dx8c/Blue_Peter_Matisse_Elyar_Fox_and_LifeSaving_Dogs/) Goldie has also had a […]
