(Kay) Today we took the ferry to Yell. Yell is the second most northerly island in Britain, only beaten by Unst. We went to visit a friend who was a teacher in the school where I was commissioned to make […]

Collecting images and thinking about where industry and commercialisation of business that has resulting in the family business becoming an impossibility without being into the trends that surround us. People go for what they know, and are afraid to look […]

Stanely Kubick’ s The Shinning Yesterday was the first time I have ever watched the film fully, which is no negative comment on Kubick. I have just previously attempted to watch the film at stupid hours. Light note taking house- […]

My exhibition at The Freudian Sheep was launched yesterday. There were some interesting conversations which I enjoyed and found quite illuminating and validating. The work which seemed to resonate with most visitors was one which I had dashed off almost […]

I have had a busy summer with life beyond my fine art degree, and have had to take opportunities for artistic thinking time as they come, which sounds less than perfect. I have been fretting about keeping my art practice […]

This was a self-directed, unfunded project, devised after completing my MA in fine art. I used the V&A as my studio, my place to think, write, research, study and to make work. I have a long personal history with the […]

I made a little cyanotype den last night in order shield my painted paper from the light. It’s not mega sensitive so I’m hoping it did well enough? SCHOOL GIRL ERROR – I put the acetate on the wrong way […]

Last night we had another round of crits, Paul Jex, Melanie Kyles and Nick Christie showed work, here is a little round up; Paul Jex is currently showing in the Project Space at Vane Gallery. His large scale posters pair […]

I think there’s a fine line between creating work within your normal practise and making commercial or rather, more ‘saleable’ work. As mentioned in my last blog post, I’d spent a whole day working and reworking 2D images with the […]

Richard Long , whose work i am exploring in conjunction with my dissertation has popped up on the radar…. relevant to time and space…. in Bristol , his home town where he still works and resides.         […]

Today we went to the Walls show! It only happens once a year so we are very excited about having had the opportunity to go. Joseph meandered around recording all the various sounds of animals, Shetland dialects, triumphant roars of […]

(posted by Kay) Yesterday we went on our first walk. The destination was the south east part of the west mainland. We had several places marked on the map from our meeting with Howard the ranger, and endeavoured to cover […]

I have been trying to stretch A3 pieces of tracing paper so I can try to make bigger images, and see what happens to the paper again, but of course the bigger paper holds more water, and is proportionally thinner […]

An earlier start this morning, involving filling the old bath with hot water. The solid fuel Rayburn has been on for a couple of days now and the water in the hot tank plentiful. These modern additions to this old […]

Our voyage to Greenland was undertaken for the sole purpose to meet the illustrious Sisters Hope and to take part in their Sisters Academy Greenland. However, singular purposes are never basic. The Sisters Academy is in its own right a […]

Very excited about my exhibition at The Freudian Sheep which opens on Saturday 8th August and runs until 29th Aug. I’ve called it Landscape of Life Don’t remember spending  such sustained time on one subject before.  It was a good experience. […]

How Did The Final Stages Of Planning Go For Degree Show? Well…. it really wasn’t an easy thing to organise as there was rather a lot of my work to display as well as finishing off my main piece which […]

It’s been a great start to this month’s residency exchange at Stryx Arts in Digbeth, Birmingham. Not only am I able to continue my explorations into the local landscape (where there is a plethora of material) but I’m also able […]

  So I have been in Ballarat for a week now as an artist in residence at the Federation university art school. My aim was to come here and continue with some lithographic transfer paper research I had started back […]
