Hijack! was a success. The whole experience of the exhibition was pleasant and rewarding. Something that I am now very aware of when taking part in group exhibitions is the need for my work to be shown in the correct […]

Now we’re nearing the end of the degree, the issue of “ticking all the boxes” seems to be arising more and more. I’m not going to go into detail about how our course goes about marking, but there seem to […]

It’s that time at last – our contextual studies lectures have come to an end, and the Monday time slot has been assigned one-to-one dissertation feedback sessions with our lecturer, Kath. She’s just had two essays published in 50 Key […]

“Hi Rosie, forgive me if I state something you have covered earlier, I have not yet had time to review all your posts. I have skimmed this most recent page and it strikes me that your plan drawings make for […]

The flyer/poster for the fundraiser we are having 25th March. The day happened to be on the same day the clocks change (British Summer Time) hence the name… The art fair is going to be a good chance for us […]

Well, I intended to blog about the peer-mentoring performance programme meet-ups down at the Construction Gallery a couple of weeks ago, but got sidetracked by the duties of motherhood and preparations for a soon to be 8 year old’s birthday […]

In the local paper they had an advert about a new art space in the town. It had secured Arts Council funding too. So I set about creating a proposal, using all the knowledge I’d gained at unversity to enable […]

Last Thursday evening the launch for ZeitgeistAP (ZAP) took place. ZAP is a new venture created by Rosalind Davis and Annabel Tilley with the education of artists by artists at its core. It was a great night and it felt […]

I did an artists talk thingy this morning. I’ve only ever done that sort of thing to my fellow students before, so it was a bit daunting. I wasn’t the only speaker, there were 4 of us, from 3 different […]

So many questions this week. How do I get these budgies back into the cage? Why do some people still think a mullet (the haircut, not the fish) is a good idea, and why do so many of them live […]

I have been busy preparing 3 of my drawing screens this week; projecting the drawing up onto the wall to draw up the transparent positive for exposing, retouching the lines on the lightbox and finally getting them onto the screens […]

Today I am exhausted. My son finally recovered from chickenpox, only to develop conjunctivitis and to top it off last week was half term. I had to go to work through all this as well, and with a horrible nasty […]

I have a tutorial tomorrow and for the first time in a long time I feel as though I know what I’m doing. I don’t feel burdened by grades, criteria, modules, marks, assessments or evaluations. Today yielded some good things, […]

A crucial radiator has broken. It’s cold. Today I did not work on Sunday’s talk. I interviewed florists. Florists shouldn’t officially appear on this blog, they’re part of a separate project. But I can’t help it. I’m making no attempt […]

I am now getting into the life here and as the dust settles I begin to address bigger questions than ‘Where is the supermarket?’ and ‘How many espresso’s can I drink before my heart starts racing (Answer: 3)?’. So now […]

I have introduced hula hooping into my standup act that I have been working on for 6 weeks. This was quite hard as I have just used comedy material alone so far, and not even mentioned the hula hooping. It […]

Recently I’ve been thinking about how I can expand my drawings outwards- either out onto the walls or out into the viewer’s space. This week I’ve been experimenting with the idea of relief drawings/collages made with layers of tracing paper […]

So, this is it. I’m rested and ready for the big move on Monday. This will be my fourth studio move in five years, quite a lot considering the amount of stuff I have to move each time. The second […]
