Stumbling across The Girl’s Own Annual at a market in Oxford led to this amazing collection of Cherie Strong’s work being produced over a three month period. Seeing is believing. The women in the images are like beautiful pieces of […]
My art has been influenced by and focused on mortality; it is the common denominator in my work. As we grow older our perceptions change and our nearness to death causes us to appreciate and regret our decisions in life […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here And so it becomes obvious why my blog has been a little quiet. There wasn’t much going on that didn’t have something to do with the search for a studio, or the application for the […]
some pictures of items when I went to the museum of Archaeoloy and Anthropology in Cambridge. Again, like at the Fitzwilliam museum, I was drawn to the small objects. On the top floor there were cabinets with just items, and no information […]
On Friday, I had the supreme experience of handling (with plastic gloves) Felicia’s Browne’s Sketchbook 3, which spans from 1925-1936. It contains her drawings from Spain from very the first days of the outbreak of the civil war. For those […]
The Walking Reading Group (TWRG) is a project that facilitates knowledge exchange in an intimate and dynamic way through discussing texts whilst walking together. For our a-n Go & See bursary, we visited Scotland and Cornwall to explore possibilities for developing the project.
In terms of my new film, the single piece of the footage that excites me most is about shots of London glimpsed through a passing train. It creates flickering images – inside then out – a strobing billboard and flashes […]

It occurred to me the other evening, as I was proof reading English texts for this year’s Supermarket catalogue and magazine, that there is no reason why artists cannot work with both commercial galleries and artist-led initiatives. Supermarket is celebrating […]
Recently I have been working on a piece that has consumed so much time and has been so labour intensive that every time I thought I had finished, the doubt flooded back like acid rain eroding a sandstone statue. The […]
With time on my side here, I return to Syntagma Square two days later, as I feel I have unfinished business. I wander, projector in hand, and to the side of the square, the west this time, I see a […]
Short graphic report demonstrating gender inequality in the arts in Britain.
Endgames. The land of Literature is a fairyland to those who view it from a distance, but like all other landscapes the charm fades on nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible. Washington Irving It seems I have […]
‘I’m the head, not the tail’ 2016 The last time I created a clay sculpture I was in high school, and Lionel Richie was singing ‘Hello’, and my hair was exactly like the girl in the video. Hahaha. #memories. Today […]
This week I had a tutorial with Robin which has really helped to focus my ideas. I was beginning to feel a bit panicked as the weeks are passing so quickly and I have so many ideas on different directions […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here In my excitement, I forgot to say thank you… My mum would be disgusted with me! This bursary has caused a switch to flick in my head, and motivation has tripled… so, with my profound […]
From Skanderbeg Square to Syntagma Square and 705km of road between Tirana and Athens, across the Albanian/Greek border. I do not know at this point that many of the borders that I have just ‘slipped’ through will be closed off […]
This art was made the day after spurn hosted a ‘Beach clean’ therefore the art is much more organically based as I use the existing land around me rather than synthetic waste. The lack of litter is brilliant for the […]
When I went to the Venice Biennale in November 2015, there were many different videos displayed in a variety of different ways, there were multiple screen projections staggered around a room, there were two, three and four screen projections side […]
