Today was the day I intended to 'quickly' put the little finishing details to the Palm Sunday Kalender – but my, what a long time those little details take! The problem was that there were still a few pages to […]
Well, with only two weeks to go until assessment I suppose I'm slightly late in blogging my 'run up' to the degree show. Perhaps 'final strides' is more fitting! Unfortunately our term at D of J ends much earlier than […]
I've mainly spent the past week preparing for the installation I'm planning to try out next from Tuesday to Friday of the week coming up. I've booked the installation space in the sculpture area of the studio for these days, […]
Gemma`s chosen character is Mary A Jedbal, aged 28 at the time of the 1861 census, a dressmaker at no 25 Norfolk Street – though Eauzone cafe bar now stands on the site of 25. We are planning that Gemma`s […]
This weekend I am going over images for a powerpoint slide show for Tuesday. I am hoping to show things which will give the students an idea of the possibilities of using materials without being too prescriptive. Next week is […]
It's Saturday… I'm going in…. My mission is to complete one of my 10 metre scrolls, as rumour has it, I may be getting kicked out my studio on monday even though I won't get into my space until Friday! […]
Saturday morning. Just sitting quietly in the roof space, listening to rain fall on the window panes. I love the rain, the simple sound of water, where my mind can gently meander and visualise the world outside and around me. […]
All the photography that I did the other day is just rubbish. I set up a tripod in a well, naturally area and took around 100 photos of my work. When I uploaded them onto the computer they were dreadful. […]
I am still busy collecting cardboard. Like a womble… Tonight I sat here looking through old images that I took to draw from and I got carried away altering them, getting ideas from them. I sometimes feel like an ideas-factory. […]
Nano. What? Where? I think I missed it…Really bloody small. Really. Tiny. More than tiny. Too tiny in fact. Too tiny to see or even be seen directly. A nanometer is a billionth (1,000,000,000th) of a meter, and the human […]
Well more time passes and I think I am making some progress. I can’t beat myself up about how much I am doing. I am doing what I can, when I can. I have a new snail lino print that […]
COLLABORATION Struggling with making slides for the powerpoint and thinking about the collaboration – how we started out and how it developed. The good points and how it helped us work. How we worked alongside each other. Side by side. […]
The studio was broken in to a second time (while I was away). They took my radio and went through everything. Jodi had sorted out things but when I went on Wednesday I noticed that there were things resting on […]
