All of my work is now up and displayed. After a chat with a couple of friends, I decided to add some extra paint to a piece which was very on the spot and spontaneous, it just seemed like something […]
My degree has been a very intense journey, I have had times of complete frustration – feeling like everything I make doesn’t live up to the expectations I have of it (maybe there are too many) – but ultimately it […]
My degree show space is an exhibition of the questions that I have been tackling throughout the year, I have intentionally not titled any of the work as I like the ambiguity of its arrangement, I think the space asks […]
Day 5 – Thursday 23rd May 2013 Today I finished painting all my walls white for the space (except for the sink). I also finished constructing my 6 Bamboo walls for my cage and have started to add paper to […]
Day 6 – Saturday 25th May 2013 Another Saturday another day in the studio with my boyfriend. Today we worked on putting the walls and doors all together and seeing how it would look once they were finally screwed to […]

Day 8 – Wednesday 29th May 2013 At the start of today I was feeling a bit tired and had started to flap like a mad woman. After a tutorial with a tutor yesterday brought in loads of objects to […]
Day 9 – Thursday 30th May 2013 I spent this morning working at home on Photoshop creating a few signs to go above the sink section of my installation. The idea was that I would work on my signs in […]
It has been over a month since I was able to work on the project with any real attention. A work trip, followed by a residency followed by a family bereavement have got in the way. But two weeks ago […]
Day 10 – Friday 31 May 2013 Have just realised that it looks like I have only been doing my degree show put up for 10 days. I havent – its taken a lot longer and a lot of things […]
Really today is the final day to add anything to my piece as Monday morning its really just about putting sketchbooks about and then leaving the studios for the work to be marked. Today I am planning one final trek […]
Final Post of this blog before hand in on Monday. I have decided to create one final post – in a couple of actual posts as it’s a bit long that will be an overview of my entire blog, drawing […]
Second Post of the Final Post Influence – John Berger Berger, I feel, has been an almost leading light in my piece in some way. His book Why Look at Animals has constantly been in the back of my mind […]
“I am going to think now about how my writing is or isn’t like my making. For a little while. Until I am distracted by something shiny.” I did. It isn’t. I don’t think. Ooh look! Red silk! I’m starting […]
I was still unsure on where to place my armchair, no matter where it seems to go, it just looks out of place. I think it is due to the large size of it. I decided to experiment with placing […]
I then decided to place the chair same sort of positioning just further along the room so towards the dark space area rather than near Rebekah’s space. I checked with Val to make sure it was okay to place the […]
These are some photographs of my studio space all set up and ready!
Some more photographs of my degree show space.
At the end of yesterday we got the labels to title our work. I felt the titles really helped to finish everything off and look more professional. I had the dates of all my boards printed too so they didn’t […]
Curiosity- Overspill. Part 1. What is it about exhibitions at Turner Contemporary? The latest one Curiosity: Art and the Pleasures of Knowing and I are made for each other. As with the Munoz figures that I have warbled on about […]
This year has been a massive journey for my work. I began this year in the plan of exploring collections through the display and interpreting a collection and even what is a collection? I found the project really enjoyable at […]
Carried on from the last post… The items I chose really helped to reflect this auto-biographical collections. How I take off my make-up might be different to someone else, it is me who has took it off, it has traces […]
I thought I would do a bit of a sum up of why I have chosen what i Have to be in my degree space: ‘Hairy Chair’: ‘Hairy Chair’ is one of my favourite pieces. This is due to it […]
‘Eye Routine’ – I decided on using the cabinet as I feel a cabinet of curiosity is an essential part of collecting from the knowledge I gained from the dissertation. People who had money would use these to display their […]
‘Camouflage Dress’ – This was a piece I did quite early on before the degree show. It was one of the pieces I did when I noticed my collections worked well turning something which would normally be discarded into a […]
