So its the depths of deepest December and the dark nights are closing in early. So much has happened since my last post before my degree show. I recieved a 2:1 in the end, although fustratingly close to the First […]
Midwest was an artist’s development programme that ran from 2003 to 2008 in the West Midlands. Here we share pdf reports on Midwest’s activity that provide valuable insights into possibilities within artist-led culture.
Week 8 I’m feeling the strain of not having a laptop in my studio, as that was something that I’d been used to during my residency. It was useful to blog in the studio and much easier to act on […]
Geneva airport has been closed for a couple of days, so my flight was cancelled yesterday. Rather than take a replacement flight Friday, Dan and I thought we would save the money (and his holidays from work) and forget it. […]

I learned a few things last week while I was on holiday. Or I kind of knew these things already, but had them confirmed. i. Cycling, playing badminton and swimming every day is amazing. I need more exercise/time outside, and […]
University of the Arts London has recently launched a new venue, the Arts Gallery on High Holborn, with a solo show by Catlin-prize winning painter Alex Ball.
“What’s the difference between an arts graduate and a pizza? A pizza can feed a family of four.” Today, I have been looking into what I will do following my degree. I’d be quite interested to go into art writing/journalism. […]

There’s a fine line between art making for its conceptual purpose and for its commercial value. Janet Hollins’ MA seems to offer opportunities to pursue both, but how does her blog tell the story? Richard Taylor investigates.
Week 6 After a weekend in Bath I entered the week feeling properly recharged. It was nice to get out of London for a couple of days, it definately did me good. Tuesday was quite a long day. I went […]
I’ve been preoccupied by the idea of ‘home’. The floods in Cornwall have transformed small, familiar places into news; a private & internal language made public. My family moved to Cornwall when I was 10, just at the tipping-point of […]
NOT DEAD YET It’s ridiculous. For the better part of two months I have been having a creative meltdown. A complete panic stricken block. It has always been a periodical feature in my life since focusing in on art making […]
I find it hard to blog here as I feel its more likely to be read by others than my personal blog where I quite literally bare my soul for public reading. Today I told myself I have to start […]
The embellishment of international study resounds with the affect of writing and the scripture of applied materials to define a multidisciplinary art practice: but how do you pull yourself away from the developed peer structure of art school?
Last week was a lot of art and I saw some exciting stuff. There were some interesting video pieces by Klara Liden at the Serpentine that got me thinking about performance and film again and some drawings still sticking in […]
Wow, so it has been nearly a month since I have written a blogpost! There is so much to tell but where to begin. It has been dizzyingly busy. Since my last post we had the Deptford X fortnight. South […]
I have been invited to a speed networking event next Friday to pass on my experiences to young graduates in Derby. I usually avoid these networking events like the plague but I’ve accepted this opportunity because it is focussed. I’ts […]
New to this blogging lark. Just starting final year, staring down the barrel of the dissertation but established in a great studio space and with keys to a shared studio in my village. Just allowing myself to get a little […]
A guide to career development and training opportunities as well as related services and resources that are designed to help artists and makers take their practice to the next level.
This is the first piece of work I made after finishing studying at Camberwell College of Art. The work was made for a group show of graduate, at the Former Alliance Gallery, Peckham, London.
