I returned to my latest pieces, 15, 16, 17 and 18, rubbed off the masking fluid and assessed what this had done. I was right. The old fluid had bonded with the paper in places, and had not formed a […]
AGNES MARTIN My tutor, Jane Watt had suggested I take a look at this exhibition at Tate Modern. Before my visit I’d read a little about Agnes Martin, and was not sure her work would be particularly relevant to my […]
During the summer holidays, I spent time sorting out the damaged frames from the good ones in my cinĂ© film collection. It is slow-going. I’m trying to collate them in order. I will add to it as I find time […]
I have had a busy summer with life beyond my fine art degree, and have had to take opportunities for artistic thinking time as they come, which sounds less than perfect. I have been fretting about keeping my art practice […]

I have projected photos of my cine frame paintings in the studio dark space. I thought I knew how they would look, but I was surprised at the new life they took on shown this way. The actual paintings are […]
This has been a mixed week. I had a real battle with my laptop and new software I got for it so that I could capture individual frames from the cine film dvd, and then build those into a new […]
