Titles I need to spend more time thinking carefully about my titles. What do I want to achieve through my titles? With my titles I want there to be a lead into the diagrams; to make the viewer think or […]

I’m working on a new curatorial project. This ‘Me’ of Mine explores self in relation to context and questions whether we can effect change in our context or are we bound by it. The context specifically undertaken is memory, socialization […]

Started keeping an inventory of present artwork and materials and that may be of use when I move in the studio. I started looking into some social websites like twitter, generally I know that there could be a lot of […]

I have completed the manuscript paintings for the group show. & below are up some notes. In Charles Dickens writing much of the whole of the original story is buried in part under the fine accurate detail, his imagination overwhelms, […]

Will Self on David Hockney as colourist Some time ago Will Self, reviewing a Hockney exhibition in London, spoke of how he (Hockney) was a poor colourist. For a moment I was taken aback – this was something I hadn’t […]

Well, best laid plans…. It’s weird how when I’ve done such a lot of thinking and writing it is really difficult to get started or continue with an idea. I know I need to keep up the momentum and follow […]

Sometimes what feels like the impossible can actually happen…. I have finished a painting. A painting that I began just before I lost my studios and Core Gallery 3months ago. It has been a long drawn out process and the […]

For me, all art is in some way an interpretation of the human condition, expressed in a manner considered to be art by the artist. ‘Degrees unedited blogs are for students to discuss the lead up to their degree show, […]

Two steps back, two and a half steps forward In two days I have learned that a bit of negative feedback can act as a soul-crushing setback or it can spur you on to do better next time, and that […]

Prayers are answered. Can’t say too much, its early days yet, but I’ve had some incredible offers of support (wink wink). It seems that an artist collective will be happening, and happening beyond our wildest dreams. Can’t believe it’s only […]

Anagrams in MDF on the CNC router For the past two years I have made a lot of text-based work, all of which has been presented in vinyl on the studio wall. Finally, at the beginning of year three, I […]

I’m clearly not great at keeping a blog up to date. I think I might just use this page to start posting work in progress. Or who knows I might find a new sudden urge to keep posting on this. […]

Following dialogues with Elena Thomas I’ve been thinking about how others view what I do and what other artists do and what it is that gives work ‘gravitas’. I always struggle when asked what I do and it took me […]

Blimey what a week! No, actually that should read… “Blimey, what a Wednesday!” I have been messing about with my recording again. The latest song, Keep Calm, I think it is called. Although in its short life it has had […]

Who does this? Who decides it’s a good idea to tackle a completely unexplored medium for their degree show? Seriously. Not scary enough what with going to art school for the first time and all, eh?

My dissertation was entitled ‘An Analysis of the Concept of Truth and Authenticity in Existential Art’; I received my feedback this week. The work was marked by two tutors, Dr Tracey Warr and Dr Stelios Manganis, it was also reviewed […]

I’m writing this in the Project Space, waiting for today’s videos to render. It is so luxurious, having all this time to dedicate to a single project with no distractions from elsewhere. It means I can develop my equipment and […]

My collage work is currently being exhibited in the form of a billboard on Galvez St. & Canal St., Louisiana, as part of Art Below’s first Pop Up in New Orleans, USA. Some original works and prints are also being […]
