I am busy writing an G4A application for a personal project. Fingers crossed and more here if I am successful. I am leading on a mapping project for Dover inspired by Mapping Manhattan, which I stumbled across the other day […]
Possibly my last blog before hand in. The last three years has flown by!! Looking back I have wrestled with many areas of university life. It has been the most rewarding and frustrating time of my life. I am constantly […]
Saw James Lowther on friday. He was the arts officer for Durham and has now taken over at Berwick running the visual arts there. He is a really good officer, he always gets involved in the projects and has really […]
Thoughts on Mountain Went to see Mountain, a new live performance by visual artist Orla Barry, at the South London Gallery this evening. To say that the piece was disappointing would be an understatement. It was a frustrating, forced, fakely […]
If I hadn’t already booked online to go on another Liverpool Art month bus tour yesterday, I probably would have sat in and watched TV all day. I felt like I was going down with something and on top of […]
Notes on procrastination… With two weeks to go I finally get access to the Gallery space where I will be showing my work for the Degree Show. In the mean time I have been pottering around sorting the various files […]
The digitalising and pixilation continues. I have been working further with the pixilation ideas and this time with combining the snapshot ideas to produce images that refer and defer in different ways within the same image. I created a grid […]
SNIP 1. Yesterday was spent setting up an exhibition, that me and 9 others are in, in a 13th century barn in Snape in Suffolk. This will coincide with 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten and the work will reflect that.
Since I’m now almost at the end of my project, I thought I would reflect on how my work and style has developed over the project, and which things I think worked the best, as well as how my ideas […]
Inspired by watching Amanda’s video about her Dad, I’m adding just one more entry to my blog. Thought I’d finished it yesterday. I’m kind of looking forward to the Degree Show, but also have that sinking, scared feeling about it […]
Day 1 of the Cage Build Saturday 18th May 2013 Spent yesterday in Uni with my boyfriend, who helped me move my boxes from my studio space to my exhibiting. He also helped me to start the construction of the […]
I have spent most of today reading my blog and updating some posts (see my now doubled in size artist post – especially the bit about Damien Hirst). Anyway I am currently feeling rather happy about my ideas and whats […]
The idea for the praxinoscope: This idea has come to a failure. This is due to not being able to cut the mirror into exact small enough pieces, without having to see a specialist company. I will have to change […]
Douglas Gordon is an artist which I have looked at last year, but still enjoy his art today. This is especially with his pieces which involve old photographs. These are the ‘self portrait of you + me’ pieces where he […]
And then there were three…pasting tables that is. I’ve spent the day pulling together my research, annotating sketchbooks and testing the display of my main drawing. I’m planning to use table clips – they’re stainless steel, look utilitarian and will […]
We are excited to announce that we are launching our first crowdfunding campaign in order to raise £1000 to support artist Anne Deeming’s project i didn’t see you there. We can also reveal that for i didn’t see you there, […]
C215, a French artist who deals with stencils is another artist who I love. I have found his work really clever with how the stencils have been made. Compared to other artists I have mentioned such as Snik, this artist […]
Update on the lanterns. I have made six out of the seven lanterns, with regards to the heads and the handles on top. I have one last lantern which needs to be made, but this is the larger lantern of […]
Dolk, another stencil artist I enjoy who is similar style to banksy, I have attached here a few photo’s of his works. I am drawn to the humour in his work, how the work is not serious in any way, […]
My new space When I say my new space, I mean the same space, However I now have all three walls instead of just one. Now that the level 5’s that were there have gone I have been able to […]
Justin Bartlett. I have seen this artist in a book I own. He has created illustrations which are fairly detailed. I have been looking at him due to the content and the link with religion. A lot of his work […]
My girlfriend has been looking at Avant Garde films as part of her course. This is something that I have also been looking into as I become interested in trying to figure out what is going on in them. I […]
My head candles, in the dark space with the new led candles in them. Here is an example of what it will look like. It is a shame I had to use the LED candles as the ‘flame’ sticks out […]
Gideon Kiefer I have discovered this artist in a book I was reading. This piece of work that I have attached has reminded me of that I am trying to achieve with my ‘scientist’ series, only this is painted while […]
We have spent the last week setting up our show at the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum, in Birkenhead. Art works that looked larged in the studio seemed so much smaller in the gallery space. By thursday almost everthing was […]
