It’s back to the art world and back to blogging for me. I graduated from Norwich University of the Arts in June 2012, I put up my degree show and the next week went into full time work as a […]
‘being so restless its hard to sit still’ circle 0, 1, 2 or 3? Portsmouth February 23rd Differences: Woken at 6:52 by the children next-door – first time this year I have not done this myself between 4-5am – reason […]
A short post, (actually a quote) – from John Berger’s Why Look At Animals? Ive been trying to write a post on this part of Berger’s book for a while – but felt that I wasn’t making myself too clear […]
Small update on the studios: Running well, darkroom up and running, small re-jig currently happening, and finding dates to arrange the first in a series of artist talks. Also, there is a space currently available ready to move in asap, […]
Recently I’ve been working on several projects at once. This has been an essentially good experience: it allows me to jump between projects and leave a particular one for a moment when I’m feeling stuck and need to think about […]
Unamed Portsmouth february 25th Awake 4:53am Oskar News on radio day starts – cat breaks precious bowl in kitchen – left unattended – we gather pieces – no good crying over spilt milk – sadness hoovered from the green carpet […]
The Sporting League: Game 27 Pointeso seem to be scraping wins in recent games – this time recording a one goal to nil win over relegation candidates Green Tree. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘That was a close call for the […]
Finally, after waiting what feels like forever, the Open Space funding has appeared in the bank, so I’m (nearly) out of my overdraft! It covers quite a few overheads, means that I’m being paid (AIR Activism is working!) and I […]
I would dearly like to show you foundlings 4 and 5, esp. as they conclude the series (the other day I crocheted a tiny armpit even before brushing my teeth!) but I haven’t photographed them yet and most of this […]
You know what? It’s MY work… I can do what I damn well please! (Yes, I am obliged to work on the pix project with Bo, but we’ve got till the end of October for that.) Other than that, the […]
With Tempting Failure fast approaching I’ve been making a start on the bits and pieces we need for the performance. Performing as ‘SSoCial’, Sally Lemsford and I first met last year at Twycross Zoo and finding many startling similarities in […]
Tempting Failure approaches, and with the weight of time pressing heavily, Cullinan succumbs to the basic physical call to create; now is the moment to mould the accoutrements that will dispense core emotions to come. With their collaborative process well […]
This year seems to be filled with a steam of deadlines to be met. On the one hand, this is a way to successfully achieve a lot by sticking to these deadlines. On the other, the feeling of constantly working […]
READY…STEADY…GO… Tomorrow morning I head back down the A19 to Hartlepool to run through the final arrangement for my bigband song with the arranger Gavin. It still seems a little bizarre even to me that I have pursued this particular […]
A couple of weeks have gone past since my last post. In that time I’ve finally gotten my head around and chosen from my designs, the specific paper garment pieces + the elongated sketchbook work I mean to produce. It’s […]
A week in reciprocity, part one: 1. “Slavery never ended in the nineteenth century, it was merely re-branded and marketed to us in a different packet. The monetary economy doesn’t serve us, we serve it” Mark Boyle, The Moneyless Manifesto”.I […]
… continued from last post: A week in reciprocity, part two: 7. Vantage Art Prize (..continued).. There was a huge breadth of work, including live art, sculpture, painting, video, print and photography, shown on three floors of an unused office […]
My new series of ‘Creative Conversations‘ shows has been picked up by Soundart Radio 102.5 FM. This is an independent radio station based in Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon. If you live in the area of its reception you can hear […]
A further set of unpredictable circumstances made it necessary to take another temporary break from the editing process but now I am back to it with my sights set fully of completion. These unexpected breaks can be very useful as […]
This is my first post here on Degrees Unedited and probably my first ever blog – or at least my first individual one. The end of my BA in Graphic Design and Illustration at London College of Communication is near, […]
Inside my head 2.
Back to work today…. but I was in really early and already making full use of the laser printers by 8.30 am. I was printing off some of my shoe designs and drawings to see if I could merge them […]
The Sporting League: Game 26 Pointeso held onto their seven point gap at the top with a one goal to nil win over Olby. Universo Collunteen came back from a goal down to take all three points against Chamber Athlete. […]
The film ‘My Fantasy Sister. My Sister’s Fantasy’, was the result of a month long residence period in my house/studio in the small mountainous village of Chelva, Spain. I invited a friend to share the month of December and the […]
I grew up wanting to be like my father, a ladies man, and yet I was born female, and my relations are generally with men – you’d think perhaps I’d sway the other way in order to fulfil this fantasy, […]
