Zoltar. Well I didn’t expect to have my fortune told, but this was something that I saw in the film “Big” as a kid, and I thought it was amazing that something like this existed in the world.
Videos Having so many different errors with uploading videos, it’s such a pain but I guess I have to learn at some point. As of right now I’ll be uploading all of my videos to Vimeo so hopefully this works! […]
Projection in the space So I took several videos of the projection in the dark space yet none of them came out well enough. The main reason was because I didn’t want to use a flash to record it was […]
New Work!! May – Onwards. This is might turn out to be a long post so please bear with me, I just need to get this written down though because the blog’s been quite silent for a while (due to […]
29/04/13 Monday Morning Mirror Experiment. Today I just toyed with the mirrors, scratching into them and seeing what would happen as a result. I’m trying to consider ways in which mirrors can manipulated so I’m hoping you can see that […]
This feels brave. I can post photos of textiles up here and all is well, I am a confident stitcher and textile mangler… easy peasy! But… this is very different. I have been playing with photos of textiles and making […]
An artist who I have been looking at since my first year of uni, is an artist called christian boltanski. This artist had influenced some of my first year work, by inspiring me to use the candles to show work, […]
Eyes on walls, the site where I have brought an artbook by the Lora Zombie artist talked about before. I have been looking at all the artists on this site and they all appeal to me, the two that are […]

Here is a video of me making the mould to be able to make my doll heads out of due to pouring wax into my last mould, which has left bubbles in the mould which come through on the heads […]
Here is another video, this time it is of me adding the bible onto my angel figures. This is simply paper maché and the bible which has stuck to the angels. I have done this so that you cannot see […]
Remember the Projector idea, well here’s the first half of what has been done since then. Me and josh spent two days on making the final frame. Here is what happened on the first day: This day I tried welding, […]
Tried some more arrangements of the pigment cups friday. Think the tonal hue arrangement ones work quite well. Still not sure whether I prefer more or less, perhaps verging on the lesser filled ones. Cut some small pieces of wood […]
The projector idea. I have been looking at ways which I can project an animation on the wall. I have come across something called a ‘Praxinoscope’ this is what I will try and make tomorrow and try to make the […]

I’ve been experimenting with some of the marks I’ve developed in previous work where I mime the act of handwriting – working from left to right across the page in a motion a bit like a child pretending to write. […]
There’s something so intensely satisfying about finishing a crochet piece. I love the final sewing up of threads, such slow, deliberate, almost tender work, a literal tieing up of loose ends. Thought of a mother checking her child’s appearance before […]
It’s been nearly a full month since my last month, due in part to essay deadlines and being in the throws of writing my clinical placement report. Nonetheless the blog has never been far from my mind. Retrospectively it’s been […]
