The crime writer Val Mcdermid describes the first documented example of forensic entomology in her book  Forensics: The Anatomy of Crime.  The Washing Away of Wrongs published in 1247 was a handbook for coroners and the first time insect biology […]

I experimented with layering my larger cut outs with solid pieces of colour, using square shapes, negative space cut outs, pieces  I had cut out that were scrap and also manipulating how the paper could move instead of laying flat […]

Henri Mattisse’s Paper cut-outs are a huge inspiration for my work. His use of layering, colours and interweaving has influenced mine the most out of any artists. Compared to some they seem incredibly simple, but I feel this is what […]

I have looked at songs/lyrics’ as inspiration and now I have found quotes from my tumblr. I found ten for as part of my 10/10 project. “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.” – David Foster Wallace “Our […]

Moving on from my project in neon The Perfect 10, and influenced by discovering the work of Rebecca Horn, I am excited to be exploring the idea of a performance piece. Aim: – demonstrate the restrictions of ideals imposed on women by […]

Rebecca Horn is another artist whose work I have come across recently. She made a number of body sculptures and performance pieces in which she created harnesses that strapped up her body and attached other large forms to her. I […]

At first I wanted to show the difference between masculine and feminine views of woman and tried to work through my thoughts in my noteboook (pictured below). Notebook Page   I pictured two images facing each other, perhaps on opposite […]

The main thought that keeps coming into my head as new ideas are arising and older ones are developing is to keep things as simple as possible.  I get the feeling from the research I’ve been doing on artists like […]

I’ve been going over ideas for how to make use of the Dapper Laughs ‘comedy’ material and something has come up. Aims for the work: – represent the uncomfortable feeling of being bombarded with misogyny – create a space where […]

I’ve been pointed in the direction of the work of Helen Chadwick and was instantly intrigued.  I like how links seem to pop up just at the right point, when they seem to fit perfectly into this time.  Initially as […]
