Here are more pictures from the Williamson exhibition. This body of work explores the vulnerability and fragility of life. I produce my own ‘organic forms’ from materials that offer different views of fragility, permanence and impermanence. Using these ambiguous hybrid […]
The last months have been so intense I have neglected my blog, again! After discovering that I received the highest marks in my year I am not sure I have a lot to say, as in the end it was […]
The images I have produced and print methods I used are certainly not what I would have predicted at the beginning of this year. I have simply followed each small development trying to be relaxed and not dictate in advance […]
Well I have been away from blogging longer than I thought! The deadline for our print work was 10am last Tues. 16th. It was a far less stressful experience than my last deadline at Christmas. I have yet to decide […]

Melted m. crystalline wax: – Trying to introduce it to a cold bucket of water quickly has proved troublesome and has at times caused what one observer described as the ‘poached egg’ effect! (Not really what I was going for!) […]
