Today was mostly about filming the wildlife of Sacy-le-Petit. Bees, ants, creep-crawlies of all sorts, flowers, nettles and trees. It mainly went like this: spot a lovely bee, set up tripod, get focus, sort exposure, bee flies away, spot another […]
Room 1 I am lighting both my rooms using a LED wired to a battery. The light is turned on by pressing a switch down. I like the idea of the rooms being interactive. The viewer will look through the […]
At the moment I feel like this brick wall, I don’t know if its something to do with the mad rush at the end of University or the fact that I am unable to obtain work but my mood is […]
I have desided to add this interview to my blog because I thought that it brought a breath of fresh air. I have been looking over my work and I cant help but feel that it has all been some […]
A research trip to LA made possible by an a-n travel bursary. I will be researching the Black Mountain College exhibition at the Hammer Museum and exploring the LA art scene through meeting artists and visiting artist-led projects and residency spaces.

Hermine came to see us with some terrible news today. She said she was awfully disappointed and had to come up to tell us straight away. Our faces dropped. What had we done now? “It’s my wine merchant” she wailed, […]
Whilst recovering from my hip replacement I have spent the time building a website, considering my practice, talking to my mentor and applying for funding. I have been able to spend time actually reading other people’s blogs, articles and dang […]

A Sainsbury’s store in North London has provoked outrage from artists on social media after advertising an unpaid opportunity for an artist to redesign its staff canteen.
Since Tuesday I have learned a little about: amazing previously unknown (to me) photographer Vivian Maier hackers, the fortune to be made by hacking and the ease with which they can hack into apps such as Whatsapp to glean data […]
