I’m getting a bit worried as I’m well into the degree now, maybe 8 or 9 weeks and I haven’t really made any new work yet. I’ve talked about it, planned it out in the sketch books, even created proposals […]
I am currently in the final year of a Fine Art Degree at UCS Ipswich.
Betweenness Catching up with a-n and other magazines that stack up during the months I’m travelling between London and Stockholm is a strange experience these days. I’m starting to feel a distance from some of the current discussions and debates […]
Disaster has struck! My short experimental animations have somehow vanished off the college computer network. And of course, I hadn’t backed them up. I had hoped that the IT man would be able to retrieve them from wherever they’ve gone, […]
Further to yesterday’s post re. studio groups/home-working, today I found this sculpture by Grayson Perry, currently being auctioned to raise money for homeless charity Shelter. It is called Homes Not Studios and is a model of a semi-derelict building, one […]
8th November, 2010. Carnival Clown progress It has been a while since my last journal entry, but I have been working and reworking on the carnival clowns. I have painted out the hand that comes across the red cone hat, […]
11th November 2010 The painting I have entitled Hmmm! is progressing nicely. I have a nice little routine going, one day I work on this picture, the next the carnival clowns, and the next I work on the painting for […]
I started this painting on 20th October, 2010, for the fractured Vision show in Birkenhead Pavilion. It is taken from a royalty free image of a mask submerging into the water. I liked the image as it to me described […]
After, a week of further frustration trying to find inspiration, a visit to the British Art Show 7 in Nottingham yesterday has raised my spirits and filled me with a renewed enthusiasm. Highlight of my day was the video piece […]
Feeling really motivated for a change and have a number of developing pieces and a major project whirling around in my head which will result in work for the (fingers crossed) show we’re working on next year. Now I just […]
The crate has been collected. Phew! Mick on the groundfloor allowed us to pack the work en situ. Given that it weighed 215 kg we were v grateful. But Mick also helped the courier on Wednesday as I couldn’t be […]
I have found a hole in one of the totems – and really can’t work out what has happened to it. It is in a place that is too high to have been made by an animal and I don’t […]
I have spent the past week making Christmas bunting to sell at our school PFA Christmas Fayre. Being a bit of a perfectionist it has me all week to make 6 pieces. Can I charge £100 a string?
*yawn* Tired. Last night was really good, although I was mainly on edge watching my balanced plaster sculptures wibble a bit everytime someone walked past on the beautiful sprung floor. I met Ainsley Harriot (he’s in theatre in Manchester) on […]
