2008 update
Blogging on Degrees Unedited gave me the chance to write down thoughts and worries that were running through my head about the degree and upload it onto the website, instead of my usual ramblings and confusions that had been noted down onto paper and then lost within the piles of things to get done! Occasionally I would get emails from people saying they had read my blog, and then investigated further into my website, and then from there we sometimes would discuss ideas I was struggling with or things they thought were strengths and weaknesses.
Since graduation, we have set up an artist group called Tether www.tether.org.uk Knowing that if we didn’t start something straight away, it would be difficult to carry on alone individually; we built up this group and got studios and have begun to integrate ourselves into the art scene in Nottingham. The main excitement was Tether Festival that took place last November consisting of us curating shows, producing and submitting work and putting on performances and events.
I decided to throw myself into this opportunity, and collaborated with Matt Cooper in a performance named Forecasts. I then produced a book entitled “Were You There When You Read This?” which was exhibited in ‘Beneath the Tarmac: The Grass’. The last project was curating ‘Throes’ exhibition with Charlotte Pratley which was hard work and time consuming but we learnt an awful lot, and thankfully it very successful!
