Sketching at Dunwich heath again. I made several sketches in pencils and pastels and also took photographs. I’ve been walking The Gorse Walk at Dunwich Heath too and am inspired by the tapesties of colour, shape and texture all around. […]

There’s something uncanny about looking at these photos of my dad as a prisoner of war. That they survived, that my father chose to hang on to them, put them in his album, although it’s quite in character too: this […]

The last few days have been quite exhausting, two little girls with tonsillitis, the Barton Moss camp has gone on overdrive with the police reported as going really heavy handed and using every loop hole to stop the protestors, so […]

I drink my third cup of tea here in my studio, contemplating my middle class greed. I have a delicious lemon tart from Costa. I watch a woman through my window, downstairs in Birdcage Walk, sat on the wall outside […]

My work is to portray the belief of love and pain. A love and pain that deals with family relationships and their dysfunctions. My work is a personal journey and more importantly a way to express myself. I like many […]

Ever since i can remember i have always had a fascination with photographs, especially ones from a long time ago, i used have my eye on one and just stare at it for like a week, with so many questions […]

A while ago I came across the artist India Dewar whilst searching for Keith Tyson images, and I came across an article about her which explained that she is also inspired by Tyson herself. She is also inspired by science, […]

The Louise Bourgeois exhibition in Edinburgh “A Woman Without Secrets” was wonderful. However, I would say she was a woman WITH secrets. I mean we know only what she chose to work on – her marriage and her children were […]

As my Re:view bursary draws to a close at the end of February, Rebecca Spooner, in her mentoring role, suggested we write about the experience from our different perspectives. My plan was for a sustained, in-depth mentoring relationship as most […]

Feb 17th. Simplify Post- Degree. So many blind alleys. Latest thoughts….simplify. Stop trying. Just BE in the moment. A cliche but hey… cliches are created by simple thruths arrived at by a multitude of minds. Stop reading, and sometimes writing […]
