Had what a difficult but positive tutorial yesterday as I wanted to discuss my proposal for potential degree show space. Left me with a lot to mull over and a sleepless night running through options. Did not update blog following […]
its been a while march was always going to be a busy month, and then in april I escaped I’m exicited by printing the large woodcut outside onto fabric using an old lawn roller. My kids were enthralled so that’s […]
Yves Dana – and my catalogue reading I know I’ve mentioned him before, but today in my ‘pausa cataloga’ (not sure if that is good italian) I read a beautiful book of his sculptures from cover to cover. It felt […]
The final show is speeding towards us with… speed. We’re in quite a happy flurry with publicity, mailing lists, and tomorrow is the big who-is-going-where debate session. We get on well mostly, I look forward to seeing my fellow artists-in-the-making. […]
I have been working on a piece I call ‘Gestalt’ for a number of years now. First shown Sept 2010 at Durham’s DLI gallery as a three part installation, I am looking to develop it further. I am particularly interested […]
Been pretty busy again this last week. Painting yes, how did you guess. But also, I have at last worked out a system for posting updates more frequently on my phone. I’m also investigating Twitter, yes Twitter. I’ve been ignoring […]
New week, and a new term. Everyone should be back today, providing they weren’t out of the country and are therefore caught up in all this flight-grounding business due to the volcanic ash from Iceland. It seems a great idea, […]
It looks like quite a miserable drab day. Hopefully it won’t be. I’ve realised that I should have taken some photographs yesterday in the nice sunlight, but I couldn’t have guessed that it would have been so dull today. I […]
Pietrasanta’s at last getting warmer – and opening up like a flower… And with the warm sunny weather its is filling up, foreign artists are arriving, and the ones that are here all year, seem to have come out of […]
Bathroom Reading My ongoing researches into blood drinking practices has lead me to the door of a strange group of people called the sanguinarians. These for the most part peaceful folk are (according to message boards on various websites) made […]
Blue Film III I have completed my final “Blue Film” with a kite flying trip to Walberswick. As with the second film’s abortive flying experiment I instructed my companion to make a second attempt. She informed me she had never […]
So I’m not going to London then! At the moment it looks as though my trip will be cancelled – although I can re-book my ticket it doesn’t look like I can do it for later this week. I feel […]
People are finally filtering back into the studios…I’m not alone anymore! I cut down my suspended paper and cut it to book size ready to be bound. They will consist of 10 pages each with varying amounts of “text”. Some […]
These weeks since the last post have been productive. The dreamy, blue, watery-heavenly images are starting to become a reality thanks to the gerbil tank, a very sunny day, and some blue food colour dropped in the water. 632 photographs […]
SAND CASTS AND SKYBOATS I’ve been thinking about whether it might be possible to make some sort of sand structures linked to my ideas about defence, attack and erosion. I’ve been tryng (pretty unsuccessfully so far) to make some sand-cast […]
I’ve been very busy between being ill and going to work making plates about the trees. They’re finished and ready to print. can’t wait until tommorrow to see how they print up. I’m hoping they’ll work well as I haven’t […]
www.katebynamglass.co.uk Well with just over two and half weeks to go the last thing you want to see when you open a kiln is lots of cracked pieces of glass. Unfortunately this was what greeted me this morning when I […]
