The viral infection I’ve had recently has left me feeling quite depleted; I still haven’t managed to get to the studio to address the dire mess it’s in and I’ve had to let go of fulfilling any of the projects […]

So this is a rather late update on events but anyway. Wednesday 15th of January i went along with a friend to the London Art Fair in the Business Design Centre in Islington. We were both stunned at the vast […]

A new begining of sorts? Spring term starts on 28th January and I’ve just started this blog. Its also six months to my Degree Show. That’s scary- ‘Unstable Self’ has been my working title for recent drawings. These self-portraits have […]

This is a painting I have just started in my garage. I attempted to put myself in a meditative state in order to tap into a primordial part of my brain. I was reading about Georg baselitz who attempts a […]

I recieved a call to say the Clerk of Works won’t be able to make the meeting in my workshop and we will need to re-schedule. That’s fair enough. And it will give the opportunity to finish the painted map […]

So a week of madness goes by and the exhibition is all installed. This year students have been very ambitious in Inspired Responses. They have created beautiful artists books, mini installations, a large scale installation involving a tree, nests, insects […]

The last couple of days has been about adding and subtracting, a constant changing narrative. Links made and unmade. Enjoying working instinctively rather than having some sort of pre-justification. Have been doing a lot of visual research and running, giving […]

Spring Cleaning Its that time of year when I feel the insatiable need to clean and tidy all around me. Last week I decided to give my studio at Rogue a complete overhaul. This meant making room for a plan-chest […]

nan’s curtains Yes, it is driving me mad. Each pair of curtains is taking an hour to complete. But I will get there and when I do, I think I will know why : D At the moment, it feels […]

Right! Heard from our curator, Pascal Ancel Bartoldi, who has been in negotiations with Stoke Newington Gallery for dates in June 2014. Looks as though we may finally be going ahead with this project, but in revised form to suit […]

Missed a studio meeting on Saturday thanks to planned engineering works taking place on tubes and overland trains going to London Bridge from where I live. Don’t know if the meeting happened, as others were probably affected too. Despaired of […]

Time to shake up my art-practice a little. I am crocheting a set of three baby-blankets that carry injunctions and directly tie in with my inherited memory-project, but also want to explore other angles and approaches that don’t have as […]

LC: After 3 months of planning, selecting artists and setting up the project, it feels great to get the on with the creative aspects of our collaborative project. A strong start to the project on Friday evening with our first […]

Books I’ve borrowed (and read) so far: The sculpture of John Skeaping – Jonathan Blackwood “… critical discussion of contemporary sculpture was key to the creation and maintenance of a network of reliable and sympathetic patrons, without whom any sustainable […]

I am really pleased that I managed to catch the Masterpieces of Chinese Painting show at the V&A. Although it was a wide-ranging survey, organised chronologically from 700-1900, it never felt overwhelming as the number of works had been kept […]

Rubbish Conversation with Lars Tharp at the Hepworth, Wakefield, 19/01/14 The Hepworth ran an #ICollect this weekend with Lars Tharp and I booked onto the Sunday morning session: WHAT IS IT WORTH?: “Ever wondered if you’re sitting on a small […]

Rubbish Conversation with Lars Tharp at the Hepworth, Wakefield, 19/01/14 Lars Tharp: You’ve brought in an installation. This is what I’d call an installation. Alice Bradshaw: This is the Cuba Collection and this one is from Essen in Germany. LT: […]

Rubbish Conversation with Lars Tharp at the Hepworth, Wakefield, 19/01/14 ..Continued LT: I don’t know what else I can say about this that you don’t already know. AB: I’d like to hear what you think of it’s value. LT: You […]

I have lost my sense of time. Days and particularly weeks are not making any sense to me. This is most likely the result of the ‘sudden’ change in my routine. Most of my weekdays are now spent at Mejan […]

Continuing with the cutouts I have started to work on a theme detour. I have been working with other artists from my Masters degree course and some others as well, as part of a PostMA group supported by Firstsite. We […]
