I have chosen to look at Soho/Felix Series of films Kentridge made between 1989-1997. The reason I have done research in to his work is because Kentridge is one of the leading animators in fine art, and I am also […]
We are in the Cameron Highlands. It is sold as Malaysia’s answer to the Lake District but it is more like Matlock Bath, with a lot of mock tudor. The climate is cooler and they grow strawberries and tea and you […]
In my last post I was explaining that my work that I have created throughout my university experience has been compared to Jackson Pollock, so that is why I decided that in my last year that I would change the […]
As Clore Visual Artist Fellow Maurice Carlin sets off on the second leg of his a-n supported research trip, we look back at his first week of posts on a-n’s Instagram, exploring Hong Kong’s visual art scene.
This week’s selection includes photography and mixed-media sculptures of body parts in London, silk worms in Macclesfield and weaving in Margate.
On three consecutive Saturdays in March I will present newly commissioned performances and sculptures at Manchester Central Library exploring how, why and what we read… Further details to follow… www.librarylive.co.uk/event/the-act-of-reading/ www.librarylive.co.uk/event/saccades/ www.librarylive.co.uk/event/circular-reading/ It Stares Us Down is supported by ACE, Manchester […]
Flotsam and Jetsam by Peter Symonds is a show of questioning. It asks us some fundamental questions about the nature of painting, the role of spatial depth and illusion, alongside the parameters of its production – stretcher, canvas, edge, […]
Presenting a talk at Fabrica, Wednesday 22nd February, 6 – 7pm, Duke Street, Brighton. It was an amazing 5 days at Collect meeting interesting people from all over the world. Thank you to the Craft Council for a great show, Arts […]
Many may consider my degree project to be about death, a memento mori or a vanitas work, however I am not so sure, yet I guess it is whatever the viewer want’s it to be. To me the work, is […]
Just when I thought that our research residency couldn’t of gotten any more exciting, it did! We started to make our designs with glass-blower Steve Williams in the lab and it is proven to be very re-warding for both parties. […]
Throughout 2017 I will be making new artworks and creating engagement opportunities responding to this unique architectural relic. This blog reflects on the ideas in my application and my initial responses to this unique residency opportunity within this iconic London landmark.
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here To the casual onlooker it is a fairly ordinary looking chair. It has a story though, like any object that has hung around for a while. This ordinary looking chair sits in our hall and […]

It was only after finishing my dissertation on Louise Bourgeois, that I realised how much she used the sphere and spherical / near spherical objects, along with circular symbolism in her work. I was genuinely astonished, as I had […]
Saw this at Gargosian Gallery. Terrific image in every sense. His work shocked me into realising that with all my experiments with abstract expressionistic painting I’ve lost sight of the essentials. Andrews attention to composition is extreme but just maybe […]
Started work on a new project. After taking rapid phone photos of my peer group I’m now making acrylic portraits trying to capture the essence of each one rather than a realistic image. Looking at Hockney’s portraits gave me the […]
My account of the transition between academic years as an art student and dealing with the uncertainty that comes with that transition. The process of managing not knowing.
