It is some time now since I have come back from Iran. I have now somewhat landed psychically in so far as one can in our accelerated and digitized age. It is as if, today, we do not have […]

a blog for 2018 to record my thoughts and reflections in my continued enquiry into potential.
This is a very long overdue blog post documenting and reflecting on some of what I got up to throughout October and November during my residency – a busy couple of months! 13-15th Oct: I created this for the Last Bus […]
After looking through artists work with similar themes to mine and feedback from peers I began editing and really looking into my film as a whole and how it was fitting together. As a result of this there was many […]
An artist in particular that has really influenced my work is Bill Viola. His work conveys movements and story lines in a subtle yet powerful way. The work that he creates when displaying has a strong essence of life and […]
when creating my film work I really wanted to focus on what I wanted to convey when creating the work. through filming and displaying the work it became clear that my theme could no longer be categorized as just movement, […]
Gary Hill is one of the artists i have been looking into that creates film work and projects the works in non-conventional ways. Hills work has inspired my own developments in terms of the way he displays his footage in […]
Shared Studio space available in Dalston on Ridley Road with 2 artists. Quiet rare for everyone to be in the space all at once, which means you can have plenty of time alone to work. Communal space, Plenty of storage […]

I have come across the autobiographical work of Louise Bourgeois but I am particularly interested in her hardbound book Album 1994. The book includes 68 black and white photographs, illustrating Louise Bourgeois’ life, with 48 reflective comments printed onto translucent […]

On 23rd September 2017 I visited the Tate Britain to see an exhibition of Rachel Whiteread’s work. I have been interested in the processes behind the making of her works, particularly the way in which ordinary objects are cast and […]
I have been thinking about the idea of palimpsests, with visible traces of earlier writing and layers scratched into the surface of a wax tablet. I find it interesting to think about the traces of history left visible on the […]
After a wonderful five month long summer, it is finally time to crack down and concentrate on my third/final year of University! During the majority of my summer break I have been thinking long and hard about ideas for what […]
I am a final year fine art student working across multiple disciplines to explore the concept of destruction within art.
Finally after a calling, which for the past 4 years have made itself particularly heard, I made it to the desert only to find that it is a lifelong journey as opposed to a short visit. For this first visit, […]
I visited the Museum of Iranian Dolls and Culture twice. Here beautifully adorned life size dolls are dressed in the local tradition dress of each city of Iran. Women are invited from these parts to hand make these items of […]
The longest street of Middle East cuts straight through Tehran from the North to the South. Its name is Vali Asr and it took 6 hrs to walk. With the camera hung around my neck I took some images at […]
