During the course of Thought for Food, I’ve been thinking about how we map ourselves and how we are mapped into the world. Pondering the connections and links that we make and establish, allowing feeling of steadiness, and stasis. Creating […]

Lubaina Himid has approached the fanfare surrounding her Turner Prize win with characteristic low-key charm and generosity. Sonya Dyer hails her influence and achievements and hopes she will now be properly recognised as a contemporary artist making vital work today.
I’ve started to develop the wireframes for the design of the app – these are like storyboards to describe each step of the process to aid a developer later. They also help work out the logical structure of the app […]
I’m finding that I’ve got lots of possibilities and different directions that I could go in, therefore it’s useful to carry out some ‘user centered testing’ to help focus the development of an app, so I was pleased to be invited […]
Hello everyone, I’ve been a jewellery designer for ten years now, I have run a reasonably successful small craft business selling locally. Recently I found a great niche which is selling well for me. But I have a lot of […]
As difficult as engraving is to learn, there is truth to the fact that practice makes (somewhat) perfect. Devoting hours a day to one design, allowing for breaks and the occasional tear, is normal. Accepting that you will make mistakes […]
With all the preparation done, I was aching to start engraving. The transferring and outlining with the scriber gave me a false confidence, as when I started to actually engrave the results were something like this: My initial thoughts were […]
One thing quite particular to engraving is the amount of preparation. From the tools themselves to preparing the metal to transferring the design, it is a patient practice. The practical side of the preparation alone is time consuming – and […]
The thing I first realised upon starting the hand-engraving course with the Hand Engravers Association of Great Britain is that I knew absolutely nothing about engraving. With my head full of ideas and possible executions, in all honesty I hadn’t given much thought […]

Intent: September 2017 My practice has been challenging epistemological questions, investigating how perception and experience can be rendered through drawing; my investigations thus far, which have focused on the layered language of line, serve as my starting point for the […]
A Mindfulness Exercise, Written For You Epistemological philosophers have been theorising upon how we know for a very long time. Over the coming minutes I invite you to see how I see, and reflect on the type of experience that […]
