Creative Hinckley Gallery, Hinckley
1 April – 10 May 2013
So over the past week or so I have starting working at BayArt Gallery again which I am very happy about, they have an exhibition on at the moment entitled Open Books which is a very interesting exhibition of artists […]
Finally, this month I have started to create some work relative to the fox, aswell as my colour work. I was still stumped as to what I wanted to say with my work, and how to involve the animal materials […]
I want, and need, to work out how I can start getting some exhibition opportunities here in Stockholm. I guess that it is probably no different to anywhere else, so have to admit that I have always found it challenging […]
“It’s not what you do, it’s the place that you do it”…or so Bananarama might have said in the eighties. I wrote a little in my last post about taking my lines for a walk (see what I did there…). […]
I found this image from an artists blog months ago, and found it interesting, stupidly I didnt take note of the artist, but I still liked the different way of personalising the fox and it resulting in an almost British […]
I then started to think about first hand images that I had taken when on a fox hunt. the horses and the hounds are representative alone, but the colour red I felt was most representative, or atleast the red coat. […]
Well I’ve had to adapt rather swiftly this week. As I left the canvas in my two recent pieces raw, (hoping that the grass roots might just grow into the material) I found that the canvas had completely rotted through […]
I liked these photgraphs as they were but I felt that they had not tackled the issues I had focused my dissertation on, the use of animal materials within contemporary art. Also the photographs were just of a fox hunt, […]
Well this is lovely. 21 days to go and we already have 8 backers and are 62% of the way funded. So encouraging. If you would like to get invovled with this project, we are not only looking for funding, […]
BLIMEY! I’ve been efficient this week! FridayFailure I fear you no more!!! My (grade 1 RSA circa 1986, I’ll have you know) typing fingers have been flyiing accross the keyboard – no artistic opportunity is safe! I CHALLENGE YOU ALL […]
My lovely sister-in-law phoned me up, because she had read my previous post and was concerned that I sounded so miserable. I re-read it, and yes, I did didn’t I? Lots and lots of people have expressed concern, and I […]
The artist’s ability to traverse the time/space continuum with alacrity this week has caused for euphoric outpourings of ecstasy. She no longer fears failure. The ever present cyclical spectre is powerless in the face of her qualified accomplishments. ART: There […]
Week 29: 1st – 7th AprilIt’s now over halfway through the first year of the PhD and thoughts turn to transfer, so begins my 4th supervision meeting. As previously discussed (in week 19), in order to progress onto the 2nd […]
As my collections have become a lot more personal to me and more to do with the daily routines and repetitiveness that goes through my day. Wake up, shower, eat, make-up, get dressed etc etc. I am thinking about doing […]
As weird as it may be I am actually really enjoying collecting these items from me, displaying them and making pieces of work from them as well as them being work in their own right. I think I have finally […]
I feel I am enjoying my work more due to the abject content my work is having, and this is something that fascinates me within art. How we can as humans get so shocked at something slightly out of the […]
Thinking about the repetitiveness of my daily routine and other items to collect. I have began to collect my used cotton wool balls which I use after cleansing my face. With the cotton wall balls I am beginning to collect, […]
ETHICS OF THE EDIT If I’m not posting here so much it’s not because there isn’t much going on… very much the opposite. Somewhere in the human brain there must be a mechanism that continually calculates and re-calibrates time. It’s […]
Technical run through Met with Susan at NRO today for a technical test ahead of the launch. Quite easily we managed to get the images matching on both laptop and projector screen. The audio was a bit more complicated, with […]
