I read the entry from may. without holding the feelings I had when I wrote them, the words take on a new appearance. The words are a little bizarre – I’m reading them like they were written by someone else. […]
despite being busy and well connected i’m feeling sad and lost – uncomfortable. i’m aware of this and have started taking small steps in an attempt to get back to a happier place. i […]
The urn continues to be of great interest at present. I have been investigating numerous ways in which the object can be used in my creative practice. I have drawn, sculpted, painted and photographed various urns. Looking at statistics and […]
wrapped up against the current cold i find a warm corner to record and reflect upon what i’ve been doing lately. the young coproducers network and on going research for the skin and bone trio. the network, funded by an artists […]
this blog post is brought to you by the word … unexpected. makes a change having a word to focus on, quite the surprise. the session i facilitated today was at pickfords house – my first time working […]
medical emergencies happen and remaining calm, focussed and in the moment are factors that will help the patient. at the start of day two of my first aid course we discover one of our girls is unwell and i need […]
snow ! again ! there’s a bitter wind blowing too. i had to get out into it with the dog to get some perspective on my week and my weekend. i take a customary moment to stare out the window […]
I have continued to explore memento and artefacts. My interest in the urn has increased and I am currently working with vessels of various shapes and sizes. I am considering the mother as a vessel and the interchangeability of the […]
post dinner and we’re all sat solitary in the living room, our faces lit by our devices, the dog sleeps. i glance through the curtains at the last of the daylight backlighting a chimney and digital arial. this day has […]
out of the window i see natures marks place upon a foggy canvas. the recent extreme weather affording time to eat, relax, tidy piles of paper and spend time with the family. my fingers tingling with excitement as i compose […]
part of being human is the sharing of experience and today is one of those once in a while days. our dog florence jumps up onto the window sill and once again sets to watch the swirling snow fall with […]
i settle down to make a review of my janaury 2018, florence has taken to eric’s chair – i think she realises that once the laptop comes out in the morning we’ll not be going out for our walk for […]
In December I submitted the final drafts to the first two modules on the MA. I navigated and battled my way through feminist artists in history and women who have presented work relating to the relationships they hold with their […]
two weeks into the year and i’m fully back up to speed and i can share with you that this is the first time in years my year has started so quickly and i’m still a bit whar! this is […]
i migrate to the laptop as work becomes painfully slow due to a feeling related to simply being tired. am i trying to run before i walk in this new year ? i’ve been thinking about what’s to come this […]
with football matches happening all around the uk i make myself comfortable to make a reflective post about this year. kicking off i feel a little unsure to to pass the thought to next, there have been some highlights of […]
there’s something about this time of year that makes it difficult for me to stare productively out of the window. what i end up doing instead is looking for a mirror to hold in front to make me view myself. […]
i sit and get myself comfortable. above the laptop is a view into the garden, the naked strands of willow are being toyed with by the ebbing breeze. with great excitement i edit and upload the images from last week. […]
To my right as I enter the exhibition is a large dark brown-coloured rectangular object fixed to the wall. My eye is drawn to white bow-tie shapes that float-hover-drift on a grey surface, offshore of a nasal-peninsula-chef’s head emerging from […]
having persuaded the dog to let me type i turn my thoughts to creating this post in which i catch up with the last few weeks. i glance over to the dog who has taken up her spot in the […]
feeling better about my practice, i take to my keyboard to further practice writing about it. steady progression within the non linear film commission makes me feel good about that part of my practice. i pause to stare out of […]
the laptop screen sits brightly on my lap, the window providing some light from the mono grey day outside. the puppy has a been playing with a newly found improvised toy and later tomorrow the ipswich speedway team will work […]
I set out with good intentions to write regular posts throughout this project and find I am lacking in this regard. I can make excuses such as juggling 4 school runs a day, then school holidays, 3 […]
a bus bounces its way past the window, a branch of the hazel jigs and there’s further analysis of tyre wear at aragon. my saturday morning is rich with visual and audio pastries. i’m pretty much alone as the rest […]
