These are some films, from when I when’t to Disney Land Paris (1991). It is funny to see them, to think that this could of been my last holiday alive… These are some films, from different Christmas’s. Through all […]
MARCEL DUCHAMP Duchamp it was for sure one of the most important artist and also denominated the father of the conceptual art.It was in Duchamp also I really start to change my conception of art. WHY A CHANGE OF CONCEPT […]

There’s not a lot of information regarding the image but I felt compelled to display and acknowledge the artist Zanele Muholi and what her work stands for. She is a south African artist that created artwork using menstrual blood.Muholi work tells a story of black […]
Protesters against the closure of the Contemporary Crafts course at Falmouth University took the opportunity to highlight their campaign during the inauguration of Dawn French as the university’s new chancellor.
I can honestly say that I am not a big fan of Marcel Duchamp. The ready made artist also used bodily fluids to create a piece of art work called Paysage Fautif. This “artwork” was a gift for his Brazilian […]
Andres Serrano was another artist that I found that used bodily fluids in his work. On this occasion it was a photograph of a crucifix plunged into a jar of piss. This piece of work created a big outrange among […]
Whilst re-searching about Blood, I though it best to broaden my search criteria to all bodily fluids, to assess everything that has gone before, so I have enough knowledge and supporting evidence. I came across some very disturbing artworks one from […]
These are just a handful of the images I have worked from. When I go about choosing an image I will often take half a dozen of these and then select the one I want to work from. When I […]
Luxuriating in the way the paint swirls, clings and disengages from its support. It changes constantly, both during the process of application, whilst drying and after. I am not a painter. For the last 18 months at least, I have […]
I took a quiet day in the studio as an opportunity to display my work. I wanted to get my paintings into a space with more natural light. They looked good in a continuous line along the wall and I […]

How is my previous work contributing towards my degree show? I would say that I have really tried out many ideas when it comes to installation and making art work. All the work that is shown in my blog not […]
The last two weeks I have worked on music inspired artworks. I decided to refine it from painting from many different songs (because the outcome was a bit of a mess) but to concentrate one song per art piece. these […]
I think the next step is to add a motor of some kind just to see how it effects my work and how it interacts, but i will build it so it is possible to keep the sculpture able to […]
I have many ideas in mind for my future works, all of which this blog has helped to inspire me, helped me experiment with and helped me reflect on. Firstly I will be working with Solid colours interacting with Patterns […]
How did I feel about using a Blog as a sketchbook? Well… it was certainly an interesting new piece of software to learn and it wasn’t easy to learn straight away because there was a lot of technical issues and […]
Heath Robinson illustrated complex constructions or machines which were absurdly large for the task they were proposed for. I have discussed the notion of creating something big and overbearing again using kinetics and machine in some way for an end […]
When looking back at my past works and how my work has developed in the past year has really made me appreciate how far I’ve come in my medium and how much further I can go. When I first began […]
Although not completely relevant to my work i like the idea of body modification within Rebecca Horns work. I like how her artwork and way of working is a means to physically extend herself through her art. She has used […]
This is the original plan behind my current sculpture project. It has turned out that the original plan was not as easy to accomplish and alot of additions and editing had to take place, although this was the case this […]
Finally Completed my Triptych which was posted about quite a while ago. I felt that by making 9 of the triptychs that it would look most interesting like that, due to the different colour variations, similarities to each other and […]
