Carsten Holler – Double objects relating to my Chinese/English So as part of my further research towards my development, I decided to look closely into Carsten Holler‘s Double objects in his art works. His use of objects in his art […]

I have been applying for many things, my TSOMB was not selected for the SMITHS ROW Open 2015. It was disappointing and it was not comfortable, but, maybe there is a different place for my work to be shown that […]

How exciting to hear today that both the Tree Portraits that we submitted to the Royal Academy have been shortlisted.

As I fall further and further into a world in which I can only describe through my drawing I feel I am growing increasingly aware of what could of been… I think anyone with any life experience or regrets will […]

The plan is to create individual stations so they can eventually be connected via the strings which will make them all correspond to one another. Having individual stations also makes the art easier to manage and move if needed. The […]

During the Residency my plan is to develop and work on two different projects. One is a piece called “Angel’s Nightie”, a human sized Chrysalis-Body-bag. I’ve already written about this piece a bit on my website: www.walkintomyparlour.com The other piece, […]

  Detail [ink and chalk on paper] I created a quick preliminary drawing of the mugshot. Then I added washes of ink to build up the image. With each loose brush stroke I tried to capture the essence of this […]
