It has been a whole week since the deadline and although I’m not actually making, I’m trying to keep pro-active and look for new opportunities and challenges. I have applied for the WW Solo Award 2013 with two works from […]

During my time on the degree course I have seen my work take a transition in content. I always knew that even though the message for the artwork was never crystal clear the viewer could still take something from the […]

Newspapers have become a huge influence in my work, taking the printed stories of tabloids and using their pun filled headlines to explore the more in depth, conflict stricken stories provided by the broad sheet newspapers. Using the paper itself […]

I had this idea that I was going to print directly onto the pavement of the path leading to the art block, however recently the university has made it very clear that spray paint is a no go. I realise […]

Here is a look at the possible sites for the piece of word art I am going to produce for the degree show. Just outside our building is a squared off area full of trees and seating, this area would […]

Sustainability of international female artist led exchange part 2 · Using virtual methods to keep in touch. Over the course of the project we have experimented with a breadth of communication platforms including email, tumblr, twitter, facebook, SMS message, skype, […]

I feel that the best place for me to go would be the walkway, although this is subject to change, it just seems like the best option for maximum participation from people visiting the show. What will be a good […]

Not really that happy with laying the slabs, it started off as an idea for an installation space, I would have a whole room in which I would lay all the slabs within the space and have other work hanging […]

The Sun uses Franklin Gothic Heavy Italicised for its title font; I have chosen to use this font in my work also. I feel if I replicate the font used by Britain’s most popular tabloid newspaper it will add punch […]

This is the covering two paragraphs I wrote when I handed this blog in as a hard copy as part of the critical review module. The blog has been a useful tool for me for the degree show project. It […]

Presenting two completely different works in my degree show is has its advantages, it allows diversity of work, allowing the viewer to see the range you work in and not just seeing one particular piece and pigeon holing you into […]

It’s a crazy situation, but all I need are cigarettes and alcohol. Today I have ordered a load of photos from Snapfish, against popular belief I have kept records, in the form of photographs, of all the work I have […]

And all the friends lay down the flowers, sit on the banks and drink for hours, talk of the way they saw him last, local boy in the photograph… On Sunday 14th April 2013 I headed down to Brighton to […]

The second body of work I am displaying for my degree show is a wall of mounted CCTV cameras. The idea developed from my previous idea of mounting conversations or speech, my piece ‘Glow’ is an example of this… We […]

Referring back to a previous entry talking about concrete, I have made the trophy mounts for the cameras out of concrete. To do this I firstly made a mould on the vacuum former, using wood to make the original die […]

I have found this project very “stop, start”, but I am still very interested in the subject , however feel I have struggled with what I wanted to say. And so I thought…. Is it neccessary to use “animal materials […]

After lloking at all this, Ive found myself coming round in almost a complete circle with my beliefs and finding my art leaning more and more towards not using any animal materials at all. I began painting without materials. My […]

i then painted another fox, a completely different style, just experimenting. I chose to keep the vulnerable fox position, however I wanted to keep it much more simplistic, I chose bright bold colours. black and white and red to represent […]

Still experimenting, I tried another style completely. Here I tried only painting the foxes face, as I feel it is representative in itself. I did not paint this fox being vulnerable, I wanted this fox to be strong looking , […]

Heading out his morning the phrase ‘cutting corners’ came to my mind. Originally used in travel terminology as to take a shortcut since cutting along an alternative path is faster than going all the way round. More frequently used for […]

Let the show begin.

Bohemian, 2013. I was approached by a fellow artist to exhibit an artwork for the exhibition he curated at the Bethesda Chapel in Stoke-on-Trent. His idea was for me to exhibit an existing sculpture I had made due to the […]

Had to rearrange things a bit, so didn’t get to FACT and Mike on Friday. Instead I looked into whether ‘To have a studio or to not have a studio’, I do the thinking in my head, the work on […]
