Following on from the post about James bond id like to link in the gaze. The gaze as a concept and narrative in art has always interested me. With regards to James bond in cinema he holds the typical male […]
So this evening I painted the ceiling to my room and above the door I gave that its first coat, as it was black and annoying me. The floor has been cleaned but it isn’t spotless so ill look into […]

The artist-led Standpoint Gallery announces the winner of this year’s Mark Tanner Sculpture Award during an exhibition that celebrates ten years of the prize.
Been meaning to do a blog about this for a little while now. Don’t think I’ve really gone into it too much before, but I could be repeating myself a little, so perhaps this is more for my own peace […]
A done deal – 1 roll of best quality lining paper, 1 pasting table, a supply of biros, 30 days and a twinge in my lower back later – my main piece of work for the degree show is finished. […]
For the Snip exhibition we have to answer three questions that will go into the catalogue, I found this really helpful as just trying to understand it and talk about it from no starting point can be difficult, I found […]
I decided to create a piece of work using a bed sheet. The plan was to use a clean white bed sheet, go to bed wearing fake tan as I often do, leave it develop overnight which would create a […]
Look what just arrived … I have my bamboo order yayyy 100 6ft and 50 4ft bamboo canes … time to build walls and construct this cage – lets hope I have enough *not the best pictures but I cant […]
I have unashamedly name dropped to get an appointment with a curator. I’ve been trying for about six months now and I’ve either been told they were busy or not had any response at all – hence the desperate measures […]
I have been constantly creating these boards as every day goes by from the remains of my skin on wipes and cotton wool, my hair contacts and eyelashes. I am really happy with how they are looking. I can’t wait […]
I feel my eyelashes and contact lenses are working well placed on these boards for everyday. However I still have a bundle of eyelashes and contact lenses I began collecting earlier on before I decided on this board idea. I […]
Amazingly and fantastically… I have a website! It is the work of my very clever husband and I love it! Thank you my darling. www.photo-sensitive.co.uk The first two weeks of my residency have been all about getting ready to be […]
Well someone is listening! We have met our minimum crowdfunding target on Kickstarter and have 58 hours left to see if we can make our new stretch goal of £1500 happen. For info and updates about ChildsPlayShadows with dancer/choreographer Abigail […]
“Back in the land of the living”, so said Joanna on hearing that I’d just finished a marathon translation. My head is only just starting to clear. Being stuck behind the computer means that my displacement activity consists in researching […]
Vulgar Errors residency in progress My residency at the Queen of Hungary Project Space is getting closer. I am really looking forward to this and also starting to worry…what am I going to do? How does my work actually relate […]
LETS GET DOWN TO THE BORING SHIT!
I had started a few weeks ago sewing together used cotton wool pads when removing my nail polish from my nails. However as this process isn’t done everyday it is quite a slow collection to get going due to the […]
Leaving a piece of work I made for the recent ‘Discernible’ show in the hands of the curators was, as I said, a new and interesting experience. Allowing ‘Other’ (see image) to stand alone, without any explanation about the narrative […]
Today, I have been busy painting a white room white. A very very frustrating task as it never looks right when its wet different parts dry at different rates and make it look patchy, couple that together with the fumes […]
Earlier on last week I created a folder with all my used make-up wipes which I had from when I originally began collecting them months ago. They are all so similar yet so different at the same time. Several people […]
Thinking about the folder idea and decided I would try out some of my other collections in a folder, such as my cotton wool balls and pads. It was a task trying to think how would I arrange them in […]
I haven’t really mentioned about the bottle I was collecting my contacts in, in solution since way before I began the everyday collection of items. I do have more lenses in there from when I added more before this whole […]
I’m now halfway through the first week of setup. Stress and panic are slowly turning into accomplishment and success. After a disastrous first day in which the wood I ordered didn’t turn up and a bit of a mess today […]
