All spirtual traditions teach the same things, using different words. Hence why we are drawn to either this or that, depending on which have a personal resonance for us. We tend to focus of the differences rather than the similarites, […]
The aspect of multiple screen work has appealed to me since taking part in the Lars Von trier crowdsourcing project Gesmat. My video was one of the 142 films selected from around the world to capture six interpretations of themes […]
Vaccum forming part 2 This time I used black plastic to see if it was more interesting to work with rather than clear. I must admit i prefer the clear ones as i can put images behind them and they […]
Heather Casey has been spending her time creating books inspired by portraiture and literature. Her set of books are filled with self portraits that have all been marked and ‘dirtied’ using print. The printing process the photos undergo is uncontrolled, […]
Construction Project Day #8 I started the day by continuing to work on a paper based piece that I had started a previous day (Day 6). As the tip-ex dried on top of the photo paper it gradually started to […]
I have made some casts with plaster using two of the earlier vaccum formed pieces to see what outcome this has. The first one i tried was the top image of the keys inside the frames. This came out really […]
I decided to be brave and get over my fear of using resin! I have wanted to try it out for a long time as I find the way it freezes its contents and makes them unreachable but still visible. […]
It’s been a little while since my last blog post – entirely because the real, ‘non-blogging’ world is full. My head has become a stockpile of information that I suppose I should share … I have developed my 6IX Souls […]
A Line of Thought, Through Science and Art Last week was full of interesting events providing much inspiration. The week’s cultural trail started with a visit the Paul Klee exhibition at Tate Modern. The artist’s development journeyed across many rooms, […]
I’m including here a choice few of my own artworks from down the years, as my Degree Project is in many ways a continuation of the ‘Destruction is Creation’ theme I have maintained throughout. To understand where these pieces came […]
I had an MRI scan last year and ever since I’ve wanted to see what it looked like inside my head. I know how it feels in there so it must be a real mess visually!! I contacted the hospital […]
Excuse me for taking you on this little ‘journey’ – I know how some people don’t like artists to look backwards at what has been, but I really do have to. I have always believed that everything you do is […]
Blog it to flog it. After my last two blogs there was a flutter of activity on Twitter and then I got an offer. My blog about part time artists on a-n struck a chord with a lot of artists. […]
I realise I have not reflected a great deal on my actual work in the studio over the last week or so. My focus on here has certainly been upon reviewing the exhibitions I visited in London. Worry not, there […]
I did it! I finished my MRI film! After alot of tediousness in iMovie its done. I chose a clip duration of 0.8 seconds which seems to be the perfect speed so that you have enough time to scan scan […]
reflection2: I made something happen, but what was it ? The most difficult thing was to be decisive – it’s a big space, people walking in and out, builders were working on the windows making it a bit noisy – […]
So where to start? For a long time I was trying to discover what I wanted my artwork to stand for, and more importantly, what messages I want my audience to experience. After analysing my previous works and the works […]
Photographs to explore and question one’s own identity – and how this kind of ‘looking within’ allows the viewer to also refelct on themsleves. I was really interested to read about Heather Casey’s work on the Middlesex University blog. Casey […]
And so… Over the last two semesters, I have been interested in the idea of using waste materials (both organic and artificial) to create an installation which comments on society’s relationship with the natural world and other organisms. Why? Alomst […]
On my first day back in the studio after London I knew I just had to throw myself into my practical work with some experimentation. After previously working with anaglypta wallpaper in my second year of university, I felt this […]
After producing some monoprints which demonstrated a more confessional element within my work, I decided to create some rough paintings which also included text and imagery from photo albums. These were formed with acrylic paint on A3 cartridge paper as […]
After experimenting with a more expressive and rough approach to painting from my family photographs, I decided I wanted to create a similar effect on a larger scale. From my family albums I selected what I believe is a typical […]
Many amazing things have happened to me since i commited to healing so I’m sharing them here. I named my self-funded touring and evolving, site specific installation Completion #9. The tour takes it to centres of ‘healing’ in various forms. […]
