Well I have secured the Sculpture Graduate Fellowship at Northumbria and I am now also the Co-ordinator of our student project and exhibition space. I have started a new blog here – www.a-n.co.uk/p/3888221 Hopefully it will document my transition into […]
Well first post. It’s been a few weeks since I started this position but it’s only really felt like it has started in the last few days. I’m located in our sculpture studios, close to where I constructed my degree […]
I’m currently sat invigilating the second last day of the show. It’s been such an experience since the preview evening and it has been incredibly rewarding seeing my work being judged and critiqued by the public. The actual night of […]
Wow, well that was without a doubt the most fun/intense/stressful/rewarding process I have been part of for a very long time. The amount of work that me and my two first years put in makes me feel very proud and […]

Well I’ve been back down in Somerset for the Easter weekend which was a good way of taking a small amount of time off. I managed to get to Stourhead and look at the landscaped garden. This was a place […]
