At university I began to look at this idea of being a Barbie and how she is considered to be the idea woman which is crazy and far for realistic. It fascinated me that we give this doll to a […]
RANT To be honest Art really pisses me off. I do not know how to express my ideas and have conversations with other Artists, especially in the presence of a debate. I do not speak the same language as an […]
At the beginning of my last year I wanted to start looking a Barbie’s still however making once that relate to me or ones that you defiantly don’t see on the shelf. I always felt that I wanted to be […]
Last week started badly when I fell down the stairs at home and ended up in A and E. It was just a bruised back in the end but I got some pretty beefy painkillers. I was so disappointed as […]
Artist Luke Turner has raised concerns over the actions of London and New York-based organisation art:i:curate, claiming that his work was printed and distributed without his consent.

10th January 2014 I need to act upon my ideas quickly, respond and record. This is because the more I think about the idea the more my thoughts and ideas will progress and the original idea develops into something different, […]
So yesterday I talked about what urges me to create work and I had a moment where I realised that art had become my way of dealing with the hate that surrounded me as I grew up and as an […]
In a previous project I looked at old photos and the journey through time of the people in these photos and how things evolved and changed. With this previous project i made screen prints and mono prints using the old […]
I’ve just had an exhibition proposal accepted; the concept will involve developing my unstable self-portraits so that they extend outside of the picture plane onto the wall. Todays drawings start to explore this idea.
The Diary Room: Does anyone else feel like writing on here is similar to going into the diary room on Big Brother. Rob… is in the diary room, talking about his problems! ‘How are you today Rob’ ‘Well I am […]
I had confirmation today that my video installation idea for the show in St Petersburg will receive funding – really great news, but now a lot of work to make it a reality. I plan to project a series of […]
Here’s the third enlarged collage (41 x 66 x 1 cm). Both this and its smaller preparatory counterpart work but this version’s bigger scale allows an apt greater excess with the magazine decoupage elements. I’ve received the very first independent […]
Not Another Degree Show! It’s the build up to our degree show. The culmination of three years’ hard work and dedication has lead up to this, and to tell the truth we want something a bit different this year. Something […]
Working on the performance for Friday and it is great to have both some time to make a few changes and distance from the work to know what might be a helpful change to make and what should be left […]
**SPIRAL** **IDEA** 8th January 2014, 14.21pm <– when original idea came to my mind I find Art a massive spiral of ideas and interpretations. As an Artist, you are constantly opening new doors, to new ideas through research and observations. […]
A very welcome discussion with my MA friend about my work. He made me consider not so much what but how I work and that quality is important. Up until now I have used found or cheap canvases and have […]
Pointeso Harbour: Service area Zone 3a. A Pointeso mature student waits in limbo in the rain. I’m sitting here at the motorway services contemplating where to travel to next. It’s a cold space. People walk by with the blankest of […]
So I find myself on this Sunday afternoon, sending out a reminder to 36 artists about getting their work to us for the NY exhibition. It wasn’t on my list of things to do, but after receiving 3 emails in […]
As I start to look at different opportunities I wonder, what defines me as an artist? What is it that spurs me to create art, what am I really interested in? Is it just light or is it more. The […]
I’d like to start my blog with an intended post that I wrote back in October. I recently stumbled across a short video interview by the artist Richard Serra. In it he answers the question ‘Why make art?’- or at […]
ok im going to start this thing of from the beginning of my second year of uni, which is where my work really started becoming what it is today. These next couple of posts are going to look at my […]
