Chris Thomas said this blog might be a theraputic exercise for the artist. He is right about there being a theraputic exercise, but I did not know myself whether it was the writing of the blog, or the dog walk […]
Rob and Jon, Thank you for your responses. It’s hard work! I’ve taken a little while to get back. Every time I feel that I am getting somewhere, something else turns up to make me reconsider. I am responding here […]
Happy New Year/decade. I’ve spent the last few weeks in reflective mode. I was starting to find it hard to concentrate on my work in December, so decided to have a studio clear up which would give me a nice […]
The exhibition at Nexus ended on Sunday and my installation was taken apart and the 1500 sheets and 750 pillowcases are now at my house! I’ve just been sitting down to do some applications for new projects and have discovered […]
I’ve now got settled into my new space. It is a really odd feeling. Digswell had become my everyday routine. Not doing the familiar drive along the windy back roads to Welwyn seems the strangest part. That route literally feels […]
My kids had a snow day off school today so I couldn’t go into college, but they played in the snow all day, so I got loads of work done anyway, just not printing. They’ve got another snow day off […]
I spoke too soon about the weather. A blizzard hit North Wales while we were in Rhyl Arts Centre this afternoon. Over 9 inches of snow fell inland, and even the coast roads were badly affected. Several people struggled to […]
You are invited to the Private View of: FABRICATE, a woven response to place on: Thursday 7 January 2010 6.30 – 8.30 Louise Nason will be showing work from her 8 – month residency at St George’s Artsin an exhibition […]
APPARANTLY TO DO WITH AIR VENTS AND CIRCULATORY FLOWSO THEN, WHICH DIRECTION DOES THE WINDOW FACE?BY USING THE NOTEBOOK AS A BLANK, CONCEPTUAL ARENA FOR DISSEMINATING AND CONFERENCING IDEAS – THE PRESENTED WORKS/OBJECTS/SCENARIOS ARE TRANSITORY IN THE GALLERY SPACE THAT […]
The end of my sketchbook project I have finished my sketchbook, I have drawn one drawing a day over the last 67 days, a way of compiling new imagery without being precious. I call these drawings starting points and now […]
I was selected to participate in a four-week artist residency at the 501 Artspace in Chongqing, China. I have written this blog as a way of documenting the experience and what happens after the residency when you get back? This […]
BA (hons) Fine Art a contemporary art course focussing on a healthy balance of context and practice.
I’m currently studying for a PGCE at Goldsmiths, and due to this my art practice has come under great pressure. I hope this blog will explore the relationship of my practice with my teaching experiences, and how they interlink and […]
EARTH: Art of a changing world (part 1) This exhibition sets out to explore the challenges posed by climate change. Climate change is a concern of mine. I note that GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company sponsor the show. Which in my […]
Change comes in many ways through the making and the firing to the light, environment and natural aging as each piece finds its place. My favourite pieces, indoors or out, feel like a breath of fresh air; that like a […]
Still thinking about form, content, subject, subjectivities and reading more on Klee. “The work of art, too, is first of all, genesis; it is never experienced purely as a result” (Klee, quoted in The Nature of Creation).
I have been so busy in process and assignments in the last term I think it is time to reflect on where I am so far. in the words of Tony Hung ‘My life is a series of lists from […]
Another self-portrait, a little more colour this time. Wanted a different angle, so spent a good 30 minutes balancing mirrors on boxes and an old easel, until I could see myself comfortably while drawing. I’ve used a little illusion here, […]
Stockholm II It’s very strange for me to think that the still very deep and remarkably white snow that lies on the ground might be here until February. I have to remember that here snow doesn’t mean that everything comes […]
continued EARTH: Art of a changing world (part 2) The next piece of work that I really loved was both sublime and conceptual by Antii Laitinen called It’s My Island. The work consisted of three video screens and three large […]
