On the Vitues of the TO DO List… I would like to speak briefly on the virtue of the TO DO List. I admit, I previously was a skeptic and saw the to do list as another form of procrastination […]
Vulgar Errors residency in progress At the moment there are two things that I am starting to think about that possibly relate to Browne, or for which his work might bring an interesting perspective. 1) I might compare how Browne […]
Now is a good time. Hello! I’ve been watching the other Re:View blogs appear over the past weeks since we all found out that our applications have been successful and working out when is a good time to start mine. […]
I’m not sure how this blog will progress now, as I’ve started a Re:view bursary blog, so you might find more updates pertaining to this body of work over there, and I don’t want to duplicate myself. www.a-n.co.uk/p/3255414 Today I’ve […]
This is going to be a picture post where I upload some recent images and talk about them, then later on today I’ll upload a video and do a longer written post on what I’ve been up to recently. —————————————— […]
Well that’s buggered up my plans. The theory is I have a cracked scaphoid bone at the base of my thumb. It hurts like hell. I’m not in plaster or anything, but can’t sew, draw, write with a pen, use […]
GETTING SOMEWHERE The Waterfront has been lurking at the edge of my mind for some time and at last I’m engaging with this. Already made 2 paintings and now working on a 3rd. I’d like to attempt a really large […]
Reading over some of the artists talking blogs, I’m struck by the complex reasons behind the work. This sometimes makes me feel ‘guilty’ for want of a better word, as my work is mostly structured on practicalities. Obviously I work […]
I have watched ‘The British Face’ several times now….a DVD about portraiture, in association with London’s National Portrait Gallery by the Irish actress and theate director Fiona Shaw. What a relevation!!. Shaw interviews painters such as Stuart Pearson Wright to […]
I thought that I was going to write something about the question of why there are so few (if any – according to some people!) internationally known Swedish artists when the level of government support and other types of assistance, […]
A little jaunt down to the very tip of Kent has revealed a new place to go. The Updown Gallery in Ramsgate is a real gem. It’s current exhibition is of incredible Howard Hodgkin prints, beautifully curated in an elegant […]
I had a tutorial with two students from the Royal College of Art (RCA) a few days ago. Whilst this proved helpful in some ways, it’s somehow left me feeling that i need to justify my figurative work more. I […]
DISCIPLINE! is what I need! Honestly I am hopeless. Several times I have sat down to write this blog (which I have neglected somewhat lately) and there I go thinking that I will have a quick look at everyone elses […]
The artist is at the mercy of her own whimsical flutterations. Deploring her own lack of physical and mental rigour, she determines not to be swayed (momentarily, for now) by the musings of contemporaries. Time is short, work undone. Cullinan’s […]
Finally found the artist whose name I couldn’t remember! Anne Wilson. She’s an artist who uses hair a lot within her work which I feel i’m reflecting in my work at the moment. She uses the technique of sewing her […]
On a bad day even the garden is beyond reach. Often feel like I lead pretend life as it’s spent mostly indoors, supine. Worry that my physically shrunk world has also diminished my ability to let my imagination roam, to […]
I’ve got a plan for a new piece of work, but not the skills to realise it. As part of an a-n Re:View bursary I’m going to find the people who can help.
Lincoln is developing a strong, artist-led art scene that is responding to the particularities of the area while presenting the work of local and international artists. We report from this historic East Midlands city.
During a research trip to Chongqing, China, I will explore how we gesture with our bodies when we write or draw, where the languages of drawing and writing meet and diverge, how the gestures change with the scale upon which […]
We have lift off! Our first ever Kickstarter crowdfunding page has launched. Wish us luck! ♥ Eldi, Jenn & Abi http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eldidundee/childsplayshadows-a-performative-art-installation
Hello..hello. Well now. I feel rather diffident about coming back on here but it seems to be part of the deal for me. Work equals blog…and I haven’t been working for months and months. Following on my last triumphant blog […]
