Recently I had a photoshoot with one of my old friends from high school Emily and I wanted to capture a balance of high contrast and brightness to achieve that creepy element that Boltanski has in his work. The image […]
I am still here honest, I’ve been continuing with my drawing and I think by number 33 in the series I seem to be making my mark… I think this one is number 19 though I’ve found that I am […]
Airoportica. A curator engages in conversation at the airport on zone 21.3 Curator X: ‘He told me that I had to make an appointment for the review thing again – so I’m looking at getting on the next flight out […]
BOB AND ROBERTA SMITH Bob and Roberta Smith specialize in witty slogans in his work. He uses paint as his main medium to produce his work in the form of signs. His relation to mine is the fact he uses […]
Now seems like a good time to reflect on what I have written so far and where I am at now and where I feel that I am going with my degree project. I started by looking at artists who […]
Well I am feeling a lot better now. My wood was successfully delivered last thursday and I have taken over the end third of Carlos Silva’s studio at The Milchhof. So the last week has seen me settling into a […]
Another place that seems to conjure the sublime for me is Dunwich with its strange contradictions e.g. the Sizewell nuclear power station and the Minsmere bird sanctuary. The work that I started based on the Gorse Walk at Dunwich Heath […]
A couple of evenings ago I attended a performance of Rooster by Rambert, from their new home on London’s Southbank, at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The company also staged Subterrain and The Castaways from their repertoire. First was Subterrain, a […]
The lead up to the 19th Sydney Biennale has been marked by artists’ protests over the business activities of its founding sponsor, eventually leading to the Biennale severing links with its funder of 40 years. Now, with the Biennale open to the public and all but two of the original artists taking part, Moira Jeffrey considers the art, the context and the quiet steeliness of its curator.
As economic sanctions bite and international condemnation continues over Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Manifesta 10 announces its programme and its curator declares that the art must go on in St Petersburg.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DEGREE SHOW?? I am thinking this project is getting serious. Is this good enough for the degree show? If I decide to present this project in the degree show then I would have a few things […]
This week has been manic so far and its only Wednesday…this is the life of a Third Year Fine Art student. The auction was a massive success and a great night. The variety of work in the end was overwhelming […]
Between job interviews (I was glad to be invited for an interview, this is progress, but realistically, I was overqualified for the role, so of course, I didn’t get it), parent’s evenings, family visits, bike fixings and doctor’s appointments, I […]
Here are several photographs of my latest work. At the moment I am exploring the patterns possible with the rope, and different ways of laying it out. I’m both exploring the best visual composition and the most efficient way to […]
Today, i began rooting thorugh my parents boxes of old photos, and i came across an old passport picture of myself from when i was six. I remember having it taken i was in woolworths with my family and had […]
what i like about the passport photos apart from the way they are taken, is the idea of them as well as the quality. the idea that they are taken for people to go away, most usually and conventionally to […]
I came across this picture in an old history book of mine, given to me by my mother. Ever since I saw this image of Lewis Powell I have never forgotten it and it has always stuck with me. Lewis […]
