I have a new phone that is terribly unreliable which doesn’t help a gal with sleeping problems. Today the alarm did not go off at all and some part of my slumbering self must have realised it was getting lighter […]
I feel I should explain the confused nature of my posts of late. Due to an ongoing battle with BT (mostly going on in my head) I yet again have limited access to the internet. To counter this I am […]
Artists Books…… Way way back when I first put in a proposal for this commission I suggested the idea of documenting my own journey as I got to know Anne and using this documentation to produce an artists book. Well, […]
Well, I’m writing this on the train back up north after a buzzing weekend in London. It’s only the second time I’ve been back since I moved away in September. Last time I couldn’t wait to be back on that […]
Core Gallery is go! Hooray! The trustees are letting us go ahead with the idea. Bless them! Hooray again!
Public meeting to launch Forth Valley Open Studios a great success – due in no small measure from the help and support we got from Clackmannan Council- they provided a venue, poster, refreshments , team of volunteerss to help and […]
Absolutely knackered, life still in boxes blog: Firstly, thanks so much for all the recent kind comments – these have cheered me up immensly and make me want to continue blogging. Secondly, I didn’t put the link to the the […]
I’ve worked almost solid on the books all week, well besides going to work, going to college, cooking for the kids, washing, ironing etc. Honestly though I’ve put in so many hours over the last week my hands hurt from […]
A little experiment with the bird and a bit(e) of Derrida.
Cer-what? Calm down, we are simply looking for groups or societies or organisations from across Wales to offer an activity to our travelling band of artists to take part in. For example on one of the days, a group of […]
My computer has died, so no pictures this post. How do you balance the theory/writing with the art? Mybe its worse on an MA course, i just don’t seem to be able to flit seamlessly from writing to making. I […]
Cerbyd is unique in its’ aim to link artists with specialist community groups across Wales through travel, activity, collaboration and dialogue. The project will enable 10 selected artists to get to know eachother while making creative responses to their country […]
BA (Hons) Fine Art. To read my blogger profile www.a-n.co.uk/p/651143
So over the Christmas holidays we had a fine art project to complete. We each had to buy a Kinder egg and go through the ritual of unwrapping it. While doing this we were meant to record the process. I […]
Ella The Egg I think this is the ‘Ella’ that I will work with from now on. I think this is the strongest image I’ve done so far of the character. I like her facial expression, especially her lips. She’s […]
From the first week of college, we created a large piece of art that we had to use our whole body to create. Large sheets of paper were on the floor or wall and we had to use chalks and […]
That’s it – date for chemo to start is 28th Jan. I was expecting to feel relieved when I got the date but actually felt anxious, which I suppose shouldn’t have been the surprise it was. My partner has been […]
This is where I’m at with the Body Parts project. This is a polaroid sized image of my body parts with the big drawings placed under the skin. I’m quite happy with the result. The colour within the shot could […]
This is the least favourite of the projects that I’ve had to complete. I think I might have been over thinking it. It seems too simple and too complicated all at the same time. We were given paper and ink. […]
The project has hit a minor slump recently as I am having major trouble posting to arts jobs, the free online listings of arts jobs and news. It would appear the website keeps logging me out. I have tried this […]
Week 1 – Part 1 A great lesson in letting go of expectations this week. I spent a lot of last week preparing myself on many levels for this weeks installing in Bristol. I worked on visualising how it would […]
Week 1 – Part 2 We have a great team of volunteers and tuned into the work already – I knew this immediately because when I was told about the non-appearance of the main frame and the main technician, Benoit, […]
