Since the last post, I have finally come up with the idea, to use bedsheets to paint onto. I thought of this, after buying some plain wallpaper to spray paint and it reminded me of when I was decorating my […]
PREFAB-Lab is a creative laboratory for observing, exploring and debating the artistic triangle: practice, research, exhibition.
The exit is an A3 print of the pentagram photo shoot with the fire version of the model
Again the picture is very dark without the lights installed (the lights will be installed for the exhibition). This is the fire section of the exhibition.
Originally the end wall would have videos projected on to it, however, due to Windows forcing an update my video editing software was deleted and I was unable to combine the videos. Instead i framed 2 A3 framed prints to […]
The first section of the exhibition is ice. The picture is very dark as the lights have not been installed as of yet
an A4 print to entice viewers to come into the exhibition space. It starts with the ice section with a table on the outside holding electric tea lights for viewers when they enter.
gave the exhibition space a new coat of paint, giving the space a much more clean and professional looking feel.
the floor lights below the frames create an interesting shadow effect, however, the frames are not too visible so I will leave tea lights at the entrance for viewers to hold and see each print in more detail. the lights […]
I have been searching for new materials to paint on and found the pin board above in a charity shop; as I want to step away from small canvases and work on a bigger scale. I chose this as a […]
Acetone Prints I have included 2 of my acetone prints of images I took at Tranmer House in my show. The top image is a wedding photo which I distorted in Photoshop. It is a link to home life, marriage, […]
Everything complete, finished Saturday afternoon. I was originally going to just have things under the glass top of the cabinet with sketchbooks in the top drawer, but I thought it would be a waste of some of the other work I […]
Things happen when you take a risk. This much I’ve learned in the past few days, on exhibiting my work, Uncertain Weather System in Place, for the Magdalen Road Studios group show – Dis Locate. And I’m so glad I […]
In the morning, Jimmy came over to paint and I met his Irish poet friend Robert Kiely. He studied English Literature and began hanging out poets.He’s interested in poets like Frances Kruk, Sean Bonney, Posie Rider and Tim Atkins and […]
Super Sculpey clay is a material I have never used before. Once it is rolled in your hands it becomes soft and I was able to sculpt it into a figure. I used an anatomy drawing to get the basic […]
I woke up anxious today. I think being in the studio is getting to me, as it has no hot water or air conditioning, the latter being the worst. When Jimmy comes in he uses oil paint and turps. I […]
It’s been full-on this week in the studio, with progress on the painterly side. Unusually, my instinct is to hold back on sharing images of the larger painted panels, which will be shown at our exhibition in October. I don’t […]
All curated work in place and looking fantastic, just to brush up on sketch book then home and dry home. Found after trunking all the cables for my spot lights that the electric sockets on top of the wall don’t […]
My work is finally all set up and ready for the degree show. It has been a very stressful time with getting the frames ready, with the mounts and work inside. I have had many problems but I eventually managed […]
Having got the room painted and ready, I realised the importance of selecting the right work to be hung. I’ve already decided that everything that is going into the show, has to have a relevance to the conflict in Syria. […]
With the emphasis on the motives of mass migration, being put on economics, I thought it relevant to draw attention to the more likely reasons that half the population of Syria have fled their home’s. It seems more than a […]
I want my work to highlight the impact that war has on the civilian population. I found Heny Moore’s images of people taking refuge in the Tube Stations, particularly poignant. It illustrates fear that ordinary people must have endured while […]
