I’ve spent a bit of time improving my research folio for the first module of the MA – it’s now on wordpress, it was very helpful to reconsider what I’d written and present it in a clearer layout as another […]

Another week, another round trip of umpteen miles, and another excellent life drawing session. The attendance was down a bit this week (to put it mildly), but this is attributed to exams for 2nd year students, and essay deadlines for […]

I have had such a busy few weeks, that when there was a lull – I got ill – not ill in the conventional sense of the word but I couldn’t stop sleeping, got mad headaches and very run down […]

Sore back today – lay down on a hard floor all morning. This afternoon I got myself sat up and as I couldn’t move around much I decided to make something – so armed with a beautiful little old pocket […]

(NB the numbers in the blog text correspond to the numbered images at the side.) I’ve been reflecting on the possibilities for making a drawing at St George’s which would be both wall-based but also have some 3-d elements. I […]

Having given a little flavour of the background to this project, I really feel I should fast-forward it and get right up to date. Having been lucky enough (did I say lucky?).. actually it was the product of a series […]

Getting back on track Things were going so well then I got a bit lost, took a wrong turn, did some other stuff, now I am getting back on track…Well a track of some sort .I took what I think […]

Very little time left. It’s all coming together. My work is up on the wall I spend three days fixing, and my work now covers most of the work I did. I ironed my work toady. I bit obsessive of […]

You’ve probably walked passed one. Skillfully placed and carefully chosen for their location, iconic 70’s game characters invade our cities in ever growing numbers. Mosaics dotted around Paris began appearing in the 90’s and have spread in their hundreds. Maps […]

Apologies for previous slightly cryptic entry, been a bit tough these last few weeks. So much to do, so many pieces to pull together, so much to focus on…. then some bad news turns up and I wonder what the […]

So many things at once and all a priority. Taming the garden to display some pieces ready for North Yorkshire open Studios, making the work and at the same time spending lots of time working through the snags on my […]

Last week’s conducting performance is one of my attempts to find productive analogies for the operations at work in reading and writing a text. I’m putting together five sets of these attempts, each set compiled into a booklet of its […]

Thought I’d start off by introducing myself. I am a recent graduate from a BA in Photography, Video and Digital Imaging from the University of Sunderland. The course was quite concept-driven, but there was sufficient teaching of technical knowledge as […]

“The Eastgate Quarter” is the first of two projects I have begun to develop since graduating. The Eastgate Quarter is an area in Leeds city centre which is planned to be redeveloped. About 80% of the area consists of a […]

It’s the final countdown! The BIAD School of Art degree show will be up and being assessed in just 2 and a half weeks, 3 years of work are drawing to a close. This week I have used a nail […]

2 hours (plus 1 today)

Finding the form that would reflect the scale of the event, and the complexity of the story, somehow weaving the multitude of voices into a readable narrative sequence and giving that sequence a physical shape – these were the problems […]

I spent the last few days working on the studio and gallery rebuilds for the up coming degree shows and as well as providing some much needed money it has really helped me see how much work i have to […]

The assessment was positive and helpful. The contents of my studio space were loaded and unloaded, with ideas about the changes I might make to some of the paintings before the show, running through my thoughts. They will have to […]

So its getting closer to the end now the exhibition should be completed by friday, and monday for any last minute emergencies. So my work has changed, which means instead of showing 6 small precious sculptures alongside a giant foreboding […]
