As previously posted I find it very hard to get back to making after spending time on the theory behind my work After lots of time deliberating where to start I realised I just need to adopt a simple approach […]

Showing my work A Fine Art degree contains a wide range of artists; from the academic, who studies theory down to the last footnote, and whose work reflects that knowledge; to the best drawer in school, who is studying Fine […]

Yesterday I spent a few hours mixing up colours and trying to choose between shades of grey for my final piece. My world is looking fairly monochrome after staring at so much grey but I have finally settled on a […]

Last week I went to two very contrasting spaces both designed to show artistic works. The New White Cube gallery in Bermondsey is a commercial space designed specifically to showcase the work that is exhibited there. The Sir John Soane […]

January 2012 #tweetart continued (3/3)

I’ve done so much research recently; it’s been really interesting and quite fun. But it has meant that I have changed direction with my work. Although here is the problem, I haven’t made any work relating to my research or […]

Caroline Fisher will be discussing her curatorial projects at The Wellcome Trust tonight. I think Stephanie is in the space as we speak turning the heaters on. Meanwhile, I nipped along to the man in the Computer /Mac shop in […]

Made an exhausted return from SOTA12 http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/jobs-and-conferences… yesterday, which I attended as one of the 50 artists given a bursary by ACE to be there. Apparently our presence gave the conference a different feel this year compared to last year, […]

when I looked at the sky it was wool The knitting is going well, almost finished. It was slightly unrealistic of me to set myself the task of finishing the day’s sky piece on the day but it’s almost there. […]

The main thing that I realised whilst doing Kinetica last week was the range of interpretations and assumptions that people put onto your work. I have difficulty in understanding this as I come from the stance that ‘if I know […]

I am now getting into the life here and as the dust settles I begin to address bigger questions than ‘Where is the supermarket?’ and ‘How many espresso’s can I drink before my heart starts racing (Answer: 3)?’. So now […]

Curating brings everything together for me. Not only do I get to look at, consider and analyse art (my own included) but I get to write about it too. I will be interviewing all of the artists for This ‘Me’ […]

Flick the switch I am really looking forward to the Factory Night at J.A.Crabtree & Co. Ltd in Walsall tomorrow evening. I have never been to Walsall before and I plan to visit The New Art Gallery, which is showing […]

My Intermediate Project explores transparency in the form of exposed materials and processes. In particular, I am interested in learning’s palpable nature and to facilitate a focus on the feeling of learning, have decided that part of my practice-led research […]

It’s currently reading week, and I’m already missing the studio. I seem to go against the trend of enjoying a break from uni – I find it so frustrating to not be able to continue with my work at uni. […]

I have introduced hula hooping into my standup act that I have been working on for 6 weeks. This was quite hard as I have just used comedy material alone so far, and not even mentioned the hula hooping. It […]

Progress is good with the new Collective and people are responding to the notices I placed in a-n and the local newspaper. There are some very impressive artists who want to join the group so I’m sure we can make […]

TODAY I LEARNED HOW TO WELD. After long enough of wanting to try it out, today I was taught how to weld mild steel piping together, in preparation for the creation of a structure to hold up my work. It […]

Busy day! The great thing is, it’s half term week, so haven’t got to go into work tomorrow, so I can mull things over immediately instead of putting my brain on hold for 48hrs. Had a short first meeting about […]

This is something I wrote for a project we have been set at university in preparation for our degree show. The project was to create three proposals based on our current practice but without considering money, time or space constraints. […]

Sometimes I hate my own work, especially when I feel as though it’s been too heavily influenced by what I think I should be doing for this degree. I hate it so much I consider throwing either it or myself […]

Continuing the theme of disasters…thinking about the obvious upcoming anniversary of the sinking of the titanic. I guess it’s a little too obvious as a final piece… I’m hoping the film will start out rather nonchalant and naive where a […]
