I feel as if I am benefiting from being located in a smaller urban environment, although we still have not moved into our flat (2nd Dec, two weeks and counting…). I started my position as Lecturer in Fine Art at UCBC last week, and it was a little overwhelming with all the new information, but I am feeling really positive the job and how I can build upon the course as it exists already.
I also held the first Artist Practice Session at Rogue Project Space last Wednesday evening. The turnout was great, around 15 people, and Jacqueline Wylie and myself presented my work. Despite the cold weather, the discussion and feedback was very interesting, and there seems to be a positive response for the session to run on a monthly basis.
I am still somewhat in the research process at MMU, but enjoying it. I have started on a fe wall drawings in my studio. Similarly, I am developing ideas for the Office Party ( a one night exhibition by Ahmed&Carpenter), and group at Kraak in February. I also putting together proposals for projects and exhibits further afield.
Here are some images of the historical maps and documents I have been examining at the MMU library.
