As I become increasingly immersed within my ‘Every photo we took at the beach’ series, I can not help but recall the photographs of Martin Parr. Whilst his images of a seaside resort past its prime are quite different to […]
Looking back over my past blog posts I realise I have not discussed in much detail how my 22 etching series was getting on. I have now completed all 22 prints, although some will definitely need re-printing. Some of the […]
This week’s snapshot of international art action sees us talking about revolution in Finland, exploring the virtual and the real in the Netherlands, contemporary Arab art in the USA, and going deep into the Congo in Australia.

It was the last day of the undergraduate degree show at Plymouth University today, which can only mean ours is getting closer now! The BA students are now expected to take their work away by the weekend and we then […]
