Residency - Page 15 of 33 - a-n The Artists Information Company

The exhibition is installed thanks to Carol and Glen who helped me put it all up. It’s perhaps a bit odd in a way, but the work always seems somehow different when it is up on the walls in an […]

Busy week again. Preparations for the residency exhibition, and a hole lot of teaching. The work for the exhibition is all prepared and those to be framed are all fitted, except one which needs new glass.  Sort that out tomorrow. […]

On three consecutive Saturdays in March I will present newly commissioned performances and sculptures at Manchester Central Library exploring how, why and what we read… Further details to follow… www.librarylive.co.uk/event/the-act-of-reading/ www.librarylive.co.uk/event/saccades/ www.librarylive.co.uk/event/circular-reading/ It Stares Us Down is supported by ACE, Manchester […]

  Well here it is. Work for the final series of prints for the exhibition. . . . Well the stencils anyway, which ever way you look at it.  They are the work, though not the works.  Yes poor puns. […]

It might seem a little odd to say, in the middle of a print residency, but, . . well here goes, It feels like painting. These latest pieces are part of a layered series called ‘Reportage’ and are A4 size. […]

Work in progress going well, though late with the blog entry. The series with ‘news stand’ as the working title, is yet to be fully developed, but a first completed run has been made, and pictured here. This set using […]

While working on the Simulacrum series which uses a collage fragment and a printed element derived from other fragments, I altered the surfaces of some pieces. I experimented with aging effects for two reasons. Firstly because some of the surfaces […]

Throughout the posts I’ve outlined the progress of the project and the working processes that I adopted during my visits to Colne and Nelson and while developing the print-based work. Below I’ve compiled a series of images that document the […]

With the closure of The Shop and shortage of time towards the end of the project I’ve had to reconsider the format of my final printed output for ‘Think, Question, Print’. In truth I had no concrete idea for the […]

Between August and October I produced a number of printed pieces in response to the days spent in Colne and Nelson; the development of these pieces is described in more detail in previous posts and photos of the drypoint and […]

As outlined in previous posts, the direction that ‘Think, Question, Print’ has taken in the latter stages has been disappointing and frustrating. When I received the funding and began planning the project I aimed to devote a significant amount of […]

In earlier posts I’ve described The Shop and it’s place in both the Nelson community and Think, Question, Print. As a resource it’s been fantastic offering a base during my research trips and a pool of local contacts. In September […]

At the beginning of October I met with artist Helen Oxley in Nelson at The Shop. As Helen lives and works locally I was keen to speak with her about Think, Question, Print to hear her opinion on the work […]

Semester one complete and much work done too. And I am not stopping just because I have no access until January. There is sketchbook work I want to do, reflecting on practice, and I can prepare new work stencils etc. […]

After several months of creating new work, attending mentoring sessions with Mark Devereux Projects and planning an End-Of-Residency showcase at The Gallery at St Georges, I am happy to conclude that its all made it a successful end to 2016. […]

It may have seemed a little quiet on this blog – but there is lots of post residency work in progress. The first 8 minutes of a film is available on Vimeo here.  I’m trying to make it about the experience of […]

  We three made work as one The tensions (often good) of being separate yet merged We noticed for each other things we might not notice ourselves We noticed each other noticing It made us feel like better artists We […]

This week was quiet in the print room as it seems tutorials were happening all round, and also road closures due to weather delaying students. But there was some activity, and one student was interested in my work and talked […]
