I know that colour and images are key to so many artists like me, not least because we strive to observe colour and interpret it. Colour is, let’s face it, a perception or sensation, just like smell or taste, touch or […]
The ground rolls. Whether I am looking, perusing, or simply standing, feeling the solidity under me, it nevertheless possesses, embarks and gives a slow almost indiscernible rumble. I am always humbled by the fact that it goes further and further […]
I walk a familiar path to the local shops and railway station. For many years I have made this journey to and fro, passing by houses and flats where occupants move out and new ones move in; excited to explore […]
Intent: September 2017 My practice has been challenging epistemological questions, investigating how perception and experience can be rendered through drawing; my investigations thus far, which have focused on the layered language of line, serve as my starting point for the […]
A Mindfulness Exercise, Written For You Epistemological philosophers have been theorising upon how we know for a very long time. Over the coming minutes I invite you to see how I see, and reflect on the type of experience that […]
My current work seems to be about the insufficiency of self-portraiture to capture someone’s true likeness. The images of myself are only partial. From briefly glancing at them, I wonder what assumptions or judgements someone might make about me? Linked to this question […]
Just when I thought that our research residency couldn’t of gotten any more exciting, it did! We started to make our designs with glass-blower Steve Williams in the lab and it is proven to be very re-warding for both parties. […]

I continue to illustrate the physiognomy of the Black female figure. I am trying out digital drawing using a digital pen and Ipad or my tablet, as I previously did some on braided hair , the idea was to see […]
4’weeks ago, I started to work on this… However, it is still a work in progress. Having to leave Uni and go to work has stopped the creative flow. But hey a girls gotta eat, right? #livebreatheart
From this… To this… The fragmented face… So…. yesterday, I took in a clay face I made while at home, 2 weeks ago. I let it air dry, but as I took it off the mould it cracked and crumbled […]
Nya/Nia translated means purpose. Nia in the midst of her journey. This digital drawing captures the teenager looking ahead but being free to choose. #future, #identity, #faith Speaking life over the Nia/youth, have a purpose, have choices, don’t let perceptions […]
Perception Series: Perception is communicated as a result of Identity, attention and understanding, the interpretation of sensors, memory, and expectation. #Loleithaart Perception 1 #Loleithaart #perceptionseries …identity and perception a continuation. So I continue with drawing heads with no faces. These […]

I am a third-year undergraduate student currently studying at UCS. Perception Series:
While working on my dissertation, with the focus on Augusta Savage & Kara Walker’s artwork. I work with the same focus on Identity, perceptions, and the representation of these subjects.
Following on from my project last year using space within installation art, I am looking to explore how I can manipulate a viewer’s perception of the space they are in. This idea stems from a comment made by a lecturer […]
In my final year of BA (Hons) Fine Art degree at University Campus Suffolk, I’m fascinated in spatial awareness and how we perceive space. Using my art practice I’ll be exploring our perception of the large scale and small scale environments.
For as long as I can remember I have observed and interacted with the world from a super sensory perspective. Once, after observing my behaviour and aesthetic for three years, my art school tutor told me I was sensual and […]
