AN Professional Development Bursary 2018

Reflections on the opening of Manifesta 12, supported by an a-n Biennial Bursary.

How and why I do what I do in paint and in drawing.

My first ever Art Blog outlines events within the last 6 months that changed my whole perspective on being a Visual Artist.

Drawing made after a recent visit to the Robert Rauschenberg exhibition at Tate Modern and linking this to the UK’s formal withdrawal from the EU.

I don’t know if it’s just the time of year but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the direction of my practice and how my concerns have both evolved and clarified into some conceptual ideas that will impact on my ways of working.

Throughout 2017 I will be making new artworks and creating engagement opportunities responding to this unique architectural relic. This blog reflects on the ideas in my application and my initial responses to this unique residency opportunity within this iconic London landmark.
