I have always enjoyed printmaking. I experimented a lot with it last year with collecting due to the idea of making a collection of prints exploring collecting, as they are an effective way to show repetitiveness. I decided that I […]
Here is the final version of my painting ‘A Figment of Paint’. I used one of the largest canvases that I have done so far for this project. I think that the image worked well on a larger scale. I […]

Exciting News Nothing to report on the bursary front this week as I havent yet had my first meeting but as I wanted to commit to writing on this blog on a weekly basis I thought I’d share some good […]

First interview done today for the MAFA course with the course leader. As he knows my work, we talked more about what to expect on Monday’s interview. I’m meeting again one of my teachers to do another mock up interview […]

New Video works. These pieces have been long in the mix, the first, titled Address is the second piece of work devised from Davida Hewlett’s Introduction to Performance Art Course: Level 2, and began with the brief of performing to […]
For the last few years I have always been inspired by the artwork of ‘Lora Zombie’. I thought I would include this artist in my blog as I have always enjoyed her style of art, even attempting to recreate this […]
