Come rain or shine or more rain, no day is too cold or too wet to hang the washing out. As I faff with coffee and the studio keys, quietly getting re-washed in the showers will be a nice seventies […]

I can hardly believe that it is Easter already. the time has just whizzed past and it is not very long at all until our graduate show. I am ruefully remembering some of the previous year’s third year students telling […]

Its taken longer than I’d thought, but I’m nearly finished… I’ve nearly finished my clay piece, probably just this afternoon and I’ll have finished sculpting it in clay. I’m hoping the mould maker Lorenzo will come by this afternoon so […]

Too much going on. Why am I even writing this? Saturday, Oxford Improvisers put on a show as part of Abingdon Arts Festival. This had been arranged a while back, and I’d missed out on the original call for acts […]

VERY HELPFUL TUTORIAL I had a tutorial with Anne-marie Cramer on friday where I specifically asked if we could discuss what i could write for my research paper, of which the first draft had to be in by wed in […]

Very nearly finished…(continued from previous post) I worked well yesterday afternoon and this morning, and in particular on the wing like side of the piece. I ended up sculpting the striations almost individually, as there were such complex curves and […]

I am now at the stage of having administration work to deal with, proving that the project really exists. “Without paperwork, there is no reality. Discuss.” At the workshop last week, we were excited and beguiled by the wealth of […]

Cleaned out the studio today – always a good feeling (and a good way to put off work – yet again.) Started the soundtrack to another film but the images to lead into it are giving me some trouble. I […]

It wasn’t my idea for the cat’s name, but indeed it was ‘Saucepan’, our studenty cat from Stoke On Trent. Psycho cat. The cat is very blurry in the original photo but the fruit bowl came out nice! Ironic that […]

But what Art have I done in the meantime? Well, I TRIED to develop work I had made, or planned to make, in college, pre-graduation. I made a couple of tentative pieces from home in between childcare duties. I attempted […]

I feel like I should own up a bit today. I had a lovely comment from Rosalind Davis on my blog yesterday, which I really appreciated. BUT! I wanted to say that although I have very strong opinions on some […]

From the shed in Corporation street. Not a huge amount to say about a window box on the shed. The shed itself was painted black and white. I don’t know if my parents were after some sort of mock Tudor […]

By using a range of images, ranging from those which do not move, those which appear not to be moving except for a change in light behing the piercing, and thoes which move quite obviously, will engage the viewer as […]
