Printmaking Nomads In our University, we printmakers are shipped about every year (sometimes more than once through the semester) due to changes happening in our department..I know it helps our practice, but this year my studio is currently a storage […]

We were walking along the costal path as the sun was setting behind us and the moon was already up in front of us reflecting on the shallow waters of the mud flats. Then a low cloud which the kids […]

thank you rob for your encouragement. thank you also for the feedback on the notion of bravery. by doing so i feel i’m sharing those moments of possible futures. i’ve explained to friends about how my future is influenced by […]

Just back from Venice Biennale. Too much to see to write about – sufficient to say suspect there is a sea-change and people are beginning to question the accepted model. Also very political. Back home in Scotland and I am […]

I am looking forward to the opening of “Trying to Cope with Things that aren’t Human” at Cell Project Space on Friday. Not least because it is one of those galleries that I have tried to visit of many occasions […]

I’m really looking forward to starting my final year next week – it’s been a loooong summer – and I’ve missed the stimulation and interaction that comes with the course. Even my husband has been praying for this day! I’ve […]

Day 2 as an official blogger! I had meant to start this during the build up to the course starting but I went on a jaunt around Britain for 2 weeks instead, the photos and drawings from which, I plan […]

Cont. from lst post; So I went home. Well that just about wraps it up for my 1st ever post. I have a feeling I’ve done it wrong but I hope it’s been interesting for anyone who might have had […]

Plans for Lincoln Christmas Market are coming together, although it won’t be discussed until another LAN meeting is organised, and considering most people seem busy re-enrolling for MAs etc, that won’t be until after my stint on the plinth. After […]

I enjoy blogging and reading others’ entries really keeps me going but sitting down to write this I realise I have less words within me. I have opened this up to write a number of times recently but where there […]

Cosmo’s Nemisis Sadley, I have to say again Cosmo has had another couple of run ins with Sid. On the last occasion I found myself putting Cosmo on his lead as I saw Sid advancing. Sid tears in and I […]

Day 3 Anxious, I always forget that I get anxious at this point, the endless scanning for the right idea. My brain surfs, stopping occasionally to focus on one thought, one direction, gathering more information then moving on. Perhaps all […]

FICTION/MEMOIR/TRAVEL is the convenient catch all classification that the publishers have placed on the back cover of all the novels by the German writer W.G. Sebald. In several of his books Sebald includes snippets of found photographs, obscure diagrams, snaps […]

Its about time I made the transition from Degrees Unedited to Artists Talking, having promised myself I would. Its an odd thing finding yourself suddenly outside the safety of the education system. I have allowed myself a break (albeit one […]

I have spend most of my childhood roaming through the woods, building dens, climbing trees and looking for creatures. The woods with the tall trees is to me a very safe, warm and happy place, it is home! Seeing the […]

it’s nearly six hours since the interview in birmingham ended. with rob i’ve touched on the risk of being myself in an interview. i’ve also touched on the notion of being bullied to be myself when younger. within the interview […]

I went to the third years first options session today. It’s good to be back. It was quite strange being on the outside looking in though. Listening to their schedule and deadlines but not having to worry.

A full on making experience. A duel with sods law and an army of construction workers watching to see what art is and what was all the fuss about that needed protection from the rain. As for the arena, it […]

So…The five days of Urbanism 09 was a big success, so many fantastic artworks. art boats, conference speakers…the canal parade on Saturday evening was fantastic. The work that has gone on in the background by the whole team at the […]

STEP ON A CRACK… What strange sayings. Tracing the cracks in the concrete road with these words at Charleston today made me really wonder about the words. How violent they are. Step on a crack, break your mother’s back. Step […]

Day 2 Enjoyed a steady day exploring the rules within the space, emptying my over-packed box of tricks, delighted that I had brought a copy of 501 scientific experiments. Made several large sketch pads. I want a blackboard, something visible […]
