Using what you’ve got. When my new bed was delivered i was delighted at the coincidence that the cardboard was the same size as my canvases that i had made and spent money on. Continuing with 2nd sourced imagery of […]

Working on cardboard is an easy and cheep source of material. This small scale painting still enforces you to acknowledge this muscular women within a box. Almost like your paring through a window

I have now hung all my paintings, the photo wall is complete. The floor has been painted and the fabric sculpture is in her place. I have brought in the plinth to hold my bronze sculptures ready for assessment. I […]

There’s something really powerful about being impulsive or spontaneous. My practice seems to rely on impulsivity, rarely is a recent work pre-planned. There’s something interesting about pulling whatever material seems to be in front of me, like a take away […]

After an intensive weekend applying the last touches and the protective sealer on the figure, I put my sculpture into my car on Tuesday 19th May, and headed down to Muddiford, Broomhill Art Hotel. What a warm welcome with tea […]

I decided not to include sound or other visuals alongside my paintings. I want them to speak for themselves. I hope that despite not being large scale they can still make an impact on the viewer. I think in hind […]

I have been very busy over the past week or so, and time just seems to have flown by.  I am now in the stage of visiting sites in the North West, and have also visited one in the North […]

As I am coming to the end of my degree course and writing the blog about my work I thought it would be a relevant time to reflect on how both have enabled me to grow as an artist. It […]

When I came in today I discovered that  David had been into the space the previous afternoon after I left and changed the works around again.  Loss of Innocence and Prisoner of Silence are now on adjacent walls instead of […]

I have continued on with the ‘Insomnius’ series,  having weighed and considered the concept . I used molten vinyl to create a ‘mother’ mould from which i could cast more sheep in one go…. it is so interesting learning all […]

This afternoon was spent pulling threads from a 2m length of canvas, which is surprisingly therapeutic – particularly after hours spent in the computer suite battling with a hyperlink that wouldn’t work. I’m preparing to create a network of canvas […]

To come to the current conclusion as to where my work has been “Hung” I have explored the notions of how the space is relative to what i am hanging, how the space will effect the way the public or […]

The finalised version of the degree show is now in place, after some repairs have been done and the contemplation of which and what to hang i have come to a decision and am sticking to where everything is now […]

This is my set up for my exhibition in this years degree show. I chose to create a small line up of pieces as some of my pieces were very large, some very bright and some just didn’t seem to […]
