Starting to hate collage and eyes. There is just so much to cover and i am on the verge of giving up. If i didn’t have the vision in my head of what i wanted at the degree show , […]

I made these drawings last night using pencil, charcoal and oil paint on paper. I tried to make them quickly  and resist the urge to overwork them. I’m not sure if they are very successful but working on paper seems […]

Finally i have finished the house! Really pleased, after a lot of hard work and thousands of individually cut out eyeballs, it has all paid off. The mirror tiles have finished it off a treat, reflecting all the eyes giving […]

I decided to put the bottom floor mirrors in before i had even finished sticking the eyes in, mostly because i was becoming very dejected with cutting and sticking the eyes and it still looking like i was getting nowhere […]

This feels never-ending. Just a little update, almost halfway through the bottom floor, it’s frustrating knowing that i’m over halfway but also knowing exactly how long it has taken me to get this far and how much work has gone […]

I couldn’t decide how to finish the house off then it came to me all of a sudden and i knew it would be the perfect thing for it. i chose to add mirror tiles to the floors and ceilings […]

Probably the hardest day of the entire project so far, and yet one in which I must remember a lot did get done.  Hard for various reasons: it was physically long – I left the cabin at 7.15am and got […]

As part of my MA at UCS Ipswich, I’m hoping to organise and run an art class for adults. Here is the cover of the flyer which I designed through an online site. All this admin leaves little time for […]

For the past week the studios have been really busy, and I have managed in this time to paint my walls and the floor in my area. Extra work included painting  the floor for Louise (another L6 student) as she is […]

With the canvas partially dried i tried to sketch an image onto the canvas but because the paint was still wet this wasn’t happening. I used a small paintbrush to engrave in the outline of my image with the use […]

Like Hera i tried to create a mirrored image of Ceres in pointillism. Unfortunately the degree show has been creeping up so quickly that i had to admit defeat and change the image rather than leaving it half finished. the […]

Experimenting with multiple images. I used the body from one picture and the head from another. I do not like the outcome of this image so it will not be entered into my degree show but it can coincide with […]

Athena was a great success and represented everything i was looking for in my work. I chose a similar image of the same individual and carried out the same process. Again using the same technique. the only change that i […]

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 […]
