Safety first. I got given a builders helmet today for my safety so I don’t get impaled by my work. I am also going to Butley mills tomorrow to see some bronze casting, which I’m really looking forward to as […]

WRITING ABOUT ART After reading a lot of other students blogs from both UCS and various other places I’m struck by the amount of ‘artspeak’. Much of it I don’t really understand. It was interesting to compare the style of […]

Intermission: I did a random photo shoot the other day to get back in front of the camera. Looking back over the photos via editing I’ve decided to not include text realising that text can sometimes limit your audience and […]

To start this blog I will give some insights to my work starting last year. My work was exploring my fictional characters through text, and how they feel about not existing. This was mainly done through my character Luke. He […]

Hung out at Victoria Quays today, talked to people in cafes and who worked on the road. Then I met with ‘VeryCreative’ that will sort out the lighting for my project and that was very positive. They seem engaged, make […]

Back to the ginghammy thinghammy… I had originally intended that any text I wrote/stitched on this would be all over it. Lots. But in the end, didn’t. I attended a book launch/talk at the Ikon gallery in Birmingham by Henry […]

What I wrote last time was more of a whinge than an update of the project I couldn’t figure why I was so pissed off. I’m normally pretty laid back about my past, I realise that people have various opinions […]

#6 This is a case of getting my act together again. I’ve left this for far too long due to dissertation and things just seeming to build up all over the place. But now that that’s all out of the […]

#7 I have looked at a number of artists over the last few months, focusing on those that create the more intricate environments or are influenced by folklore, etc. I have looked at: Ryoko Aoki: http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=28546 Who creates intricate drawings […]

#8 Now that the dissertation is over and done with I have been spending my time reading through fairy tales (mostly Grimm’s for the time being), and picking out scenes that I feel depict the more horrific sides to them […]

#9 Looked at a couple more artists recently: Ying Mei Duan: http://china.southbankcentre.co.uk/artists/#yingmei-duan Duan has created an eerie fairy tale land, in which the viewer is almost trapped in an enclosed space with the artist herself. She is sometimes singing, making […]

#10 Originally I had the full intention to print my digital work full-size, mount and display it on the wall (I’m ruling out the custom wallpaper option completely now), but after a quick chat with a tutor earlier I think […]
