The work (Untitled 2012) is also in a similar fashion to Banksy. This was an etch I printed prior to adding the Coca-Cola can on top using acrylic paint. The reason I chose the Coca-Cola can was because of its […]
I really enjoy scanning some of my artworks onto the computer and playing with them on different art editing programmes. This gives me the chance to play around with filters and colours, and to also view my artwork in a […]
This artwork (Untitled 2014) is part of my current studio practise. I did a lot of research on Walt Disney and this showed many different messages and metaphors within his work that I found quite surprising. There was racist stereotyping […]
This artwork (Untitled 2014) was another step I had previously worked on for the Disney concept. I originally sketched and inked out the form of the work. I had the idea of portraying Snow White as a film star offset, […]
I’ve been reflecting on the role this blog has played for me. The blog has helped me greatly to stop and reflect on previous work so that I can learn from past strengths and weaknesses. For example I consider my […]
My Latest painting: The first Stages In my latest painting I have been really conscious over the composition. This is my largest painting of this kind to date and I didn’t want it to end up my other largish paintings- […]
Time is going really quickley and everyday there are small panics and moments of elation as the work takes shape. After a time of confusion and sorting things out in German my fabric hardener arrived this week. I felt quite […]
Recently on a corridor at uni I remember seeing a notice saying: “History, what else is there?” I was tempted to, (I wish I had), write underneath: “Her Story, of course”. I do think that in the past women have […]
Continuing to brake up writing, but this time with a phrase I’ve chosen (rather than found in printed material) ‘We can do no great things, only small things with great love’ is something I’ve used before in my work and […]
After looking at Emin’s Photo Album and Andy Warhol’s Photo booth images, i have for the last few days been experimenting with mine, nothing final just placing images beside other ones, seeing how they work and cutting them up and […]
These are a couple more images from my sketchbook where i was playing around they are a bit messy as they are in my sketchnook, but its just ot get my ideas down. I was seeing what it would look […]
Eyes. They say eyes are the door to your soul. Well, that is why I just cut the top half of the head on two of these images. I do think it’s true the eyes in general and in these […]
I am looking forward to revisiting Orford Ness when it is open to visitors again and making more work based on my perceptions as I walk there. In the meantime I have been researching other artists inspired by this unique […]

Degree show proposal Hopefully for the degree show I will be making three circles out of MDF board and canvas. As they will have no frame hopefully they will lie flat on the floor and prevent the paint from travelling […]
I’ve just driven all night long crossing several countries and weather systems and now I’m on the ferry waiting to leave the sun-drenched port of the Hook of Holland. It’s probably part delirium of no sleep after such a long […]
One artist, who was not mentioned in my dissertation, is Claus Oldenburg (1922-). This artist has given me a lot inspiration to explore a world of ideas and possibilities. I came to the conclusion that a lot of Pop Artist’s […]
The world we live in now is full of consumer products that are readily available to us even at the click of a button. Back when ‘Pop Art’ started it was new to the British. The mass-production of consumer goods, […]
I too, like Oldenburg wanted to experiment with objects from the consumer merchandise and contemporary culture. In order to put this into my practise and explore further, I started to play with iconic packaging and thinking of ways of deconstructing […]
Once I had the foundations to play with I then had to think about what material would be best to use. Cardboard was a cheap way to pursue this idea, but I wanted to use something more professional. This then […]
Whilst discussing my ideas, one of my peers suggested that these objects could be displayed in frames on the wall and presented in this way. I considered the idea, but thought more about how I wanted my work to be […]
Here are some other iconic objects that I am interested in using for other projects. I again with the ‘Oxo’ cube wanted to think of things that would look great on a bigger scale. I also am thinking about different […]
