On Tuesday afternoon, I took down the installation at Chester Cathedral. Really, it was a case of just putting them all in boxes, trying to keep colours together. Still a back breaking job though. I noticed that some were starting […]
Yesterday was both the opening AND closing event for the #CastTheNetWide #vision project. It was held at Chester Cathedral where they had set up four large screens which linked with several churches in the Diocese. There was a service and […]
Well my installation is up and running, after an exhausting 6 hours of hard work yesterday. The new site for the work ( which I hadn’t seen until yesterday) had been temporarily used as a chapel / prayer space, so […]
Working on from my writings around Black bodies with/in nature, the BALTIC commission which turned out to be The Country Journal of a Blackwoman(Northumberland), became the workings and musings, thoughts and ideas of a composite Blackwoman throughout the generations and […]
“Whether conscious of it or not, archivists are major players in the business of identity politics. Archivists appraise, collect, and preserve the props with which notions of identity are built. In turn, notions of identity are confirmed and justified as […]
I really didn’t mean to leave it so long between blog posts. I did think about writing more, several times in fact, but the content probably wouldn’t have been that interesting to read. In the last 6 months, since I’d […]
Yesterday I did the first workshop at St Michael and All Angels church in Macclesfield, as part of my Diocese of Chester commission. It took an hour and 20 mins to get there, which was a bit of a pain, […]

I’m running a workshop in a few weeks time. It’s for adults and its a way to discuss facial recognition. We’re going to be making flick books and gif using rubber stamps. Flick books are surprisingly tricky to make considering […]
I wanted to see how the google facial recognition technology works so I uploaded a photo of myself to google images and searched for other images with it. I wouldn’t have thought to do this normally.. it’s like one step […]
There’s many ways that people are trying to hinder the use of facial recognition. Most recently seen has been the actual dismantling of cameras during the current protests in Hong Kong. (Interestingly they echo the toppling of dictator monuments during […]
The point of this work is to explore what facial recognition technologies are and how they may affect our behaviour with regards to public gathering and protest. I have worked with six people who participated in public protest. A few […]
I’m been busy getting stuck in with the making of the placards. Tearing lightweight Japanese paper to size, prepping screens & ink, screen printing the multiple portraits (with George Barron, Double Elephant Print Workshop Screen Tech/Tutor), composing and gluing the […]
