Continued from previous post Thematically, his exploration of identity is widely evident, particularly in Psycho, Vertigo and certainly Marnie. Poor dead Rebecca de Winter is represented only through description by others and a few of her decadent effects throughout the […]
I have been busy with mounting, framing and preparing work for exhibition, as well as producing artwork, though not documenting much. I have work selected for the Suffolk Showcase, Smiths Row in Bury St Edmonds and work also on exhibition […]
New Works Well over the past couple of weeks, my work has altered its look, again. I quite like it, and it came to me quite quickly and I impulsively started making the objects, without stopping to think too much. […]
“One of Judd’s main interests was space. Once he had discovered, in the early 1960’s that space provided him with more possibilities than the two-dimensional canvas, he made it a central subject of his work.” (Stockebrand, 2011:6) -Am becoming more […]
Approaching works in a different way now; am actively considering the types of space that the works will be shown in, which influences what the work actually looks like or how it is put together. Will talk more about this […]
WORKS IN PROGRESS Recently been entertaining a more sculptural mindset. I had some wood cut a few weeks ago, and just so happened to place them in my space in such a way that was compositionally very fluent and easy […]
Professional Practice – Done! Dissertation – Done (well, almost)! Now I can really go for the final big unit – at last. I am so happy to be creating again. A trip to the V&A’s cast halls offered a visual […]
i originally looked at SHOCK ART; “contemporary art, using disturbing imagery, sounds or scents to create a shocking experience.” “encroachment on the taboo.” Duchamps “fountain” was orginally considered shock art as it was different, pushed the boundaries, pushed against the […]
I think I’ve figured it out. I’m happy with moving on and I think the best way to do this is to focus on the object versus painting aspect. With a bit of texture/materiality thrown in. I can’t give that […]
Well my website is finished and uploaded on to the internet, finally. whoop, I think is the expression. So moving on from Barthes ‘cardinal’ functions in narrative, the uncertainty aspect is clearly central to the work I am developing, and […]
I had thought recently that my work, apart from being concerned with the materiality of paint, there was also a conflict between how I was working. I thought the conflict was between the process of painting; on the one hand, […]
Paintings that came out of my trip to Cyprus are those pictured; Untitled I and Untitled II. These were painted with consideration to the environment around me – see the pictures “Blue Doors” and “Kitchen”. This idea of using a […]
Mock Artist Talk +2 Q. The recent project ‘Survived Socialism’ in the Window at Airspace Gallery [15-21 October 2012] exhibited new sculptures which had a minimalist approach. Was that intentional or did it develop that way? A. The works themselves […]

Everything must go at Liverpool’s Static gallery, but, as director Paul Sullivan explains, this is not a closing down sale.
The wiggly lines/cells and skin, I had pictured as a screen people could walk around. I quite like the idea of an installation of a number of screens through which we can see or not see, communicate or not? Franny’s […]
Wales based artists ‘Rhod’ exhibit at The Brewhouse (pictured – Dave Shepherd’s ‘Ron’s Boat’) ‘Sam Aldridge, Kathryn Campbell Dodd, good cop bad cop, Jason Pinder, Anthony Shapland and Dave Shepherd, a mix of established and emerging talent, use a diverse […]
Yesterday we started the day but talking about South London galleries and answering some questions about galleries in general and how to approach them which was really useful. We had time to do some studio work over lunch and I […]
Artist Statement With my work I wish to take the viewer on a journey, to experience a surreal, dream-like world, where there exists no limits or boundaries. By creating beings that embrace the paradoxical, the unexpected and the imaginary, my […]
Victoria Geoghegan – Installation Dead celebrities live on through image and sound. Everything they once said seems to have a more influential meaning once they die. They become an instant legend. We feel like we knew them but we did […]
Now then. Today the Modern Art Oxford publication. My brief is to create something on paper that follows on from the video work I made for ‘Keeping Time’. I’ve decided I want to take forward the relationship between the making […]
One of the most predominant ideas in my research has been the idea of discovery within a gallery or museum and the feeling of getting lost among the work (such as the Buren research mentioned in my last post). My […]
Success! My scale-model of the work is no longer an endeavour: it is a reality. Albeit a kind of half-baked reality, but for someone who doesn’t like to make copies of the work unless it is, actually, part of the […]
