I am now working on my last final major project at university. I feel overwhelmed that graduation is in 13 weeks, but also excited. Next week on the 9th February I am exhibiting in a show with two other artists. […]

It’s Burns Night and my thoughts are turning again to Robbie Burn’s poem, ‘To A Mouse.’ It’s one of my favourites and I’ve quoted it here before because of its uncanny relevance to what’s been happening in my life. The […]

Self-Evaluation ‘I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like’ is the backup of someone that doesn’t know much about art. As students, educated in the mysterious craft of objectivity, we do (or should) know much about […]

I’ve had a really good day at university today – it was an art exchange day when we got to work in the studios and get feedback from other students and all the fine art lecturers. It was initiated in […]

Such a relief. Everything has colluded this Christmas to stop me getting into my new room to start work again. But here I am in my new studio room at last and I have been working again – all day. […]

Blind self portrait life drawing Elena suggested I should try the blind drawing technique to draw my body. I had to warm my hands up first. First off, it’s difficult and I have to concede the technique requires some practice. […]

I’ve been thinking about how to use drawing in my practice again. Personally speaking, mark making for its own sake isn’t enough. There has to be some real intention/ point to it. Looking back over the ideas and projects I […]

New approaches to drawing. I haven’t drawn for ages and ages. Drawing has become defunct in my practice, I rely on photography and writing. I’ve been looking for a new way of approaching drawing, something to make it relevant again. […]
