The main body of work for the residency has begun. Over the past two weeks I have prepared and developed some of the prints for a large installation of prints. The process is very fluid as I cut out aspects […]
Well no comments yet, and there was I thinking that I might get picked up on the claim that blogging results in clarity. Not sure that the last post I nailed it, clarity, that is. This thing about the simulacrum […]
Print three. This piece has a reference back to the world but is a functional object of another kind, a record. The first two print runs were made by the thing that produced the means to create the image. In […]
This week, a very busy week. I met more students in the print room, a student on the MA studying fine art, Alexander, came in worked and had a chat. And perhaps strangely, about The Wacky Races, strange in that […]
I collected the latest version of the lightbox yesterday from the framer. I added two new layers of engraved perspex to add greater depth and it worked! With the mirror behind there appear to be 10 layers which create a […]
During last week I met some students at an opening and workshop event at the university. I had been contributing to the Pop My Mind project devised by Oliver Squirrel and organised also with Laurel and Karis. They are artists […]
I visited the Abstract Expressionism show at the RA yesterday – it reminded me where my roots lie, but I’m sure as my practice has developed and evolved, I’m more keen to find order in chaos, actually I think I’m […]
I’ve been working on the videos using the files and data collected from Annina’s research, it’s work in progress. I intend to use the sounds from the lab: the centrifuge, tissue cutting machine and microscope to create the audio for […]
I have been very lucky to be paired with a scientist who explains her research well and involved me in each stage of analysing the microscopy images of the T-cells. The slide of the T-cell that I opted to base […]
I’ve been unbelievably busy with my many part time jobs/other commitments over the past few weeks and it’s been a real struggle to find time to devote to the blog and to the work itself. I did have a really […]
Start as I mean to go on is the phrase that comes to mind. I got two short print runs completed in the first day. I met many new staff and some students, and found my way around. I am […]
Advancing ideas around the simulacrum, and other questions concerning the copy, the original, and representation, through work produced in my artist’s residency in the printmaking room at the University of Suffolk.
I received back the light box from the framer yesterday, I was pleased that my idea worked and also that it looked striking. I had included three layers of plates, the same image engraved onto perspex lit from behind, and […]
The lightbox for the engraved perspex is almost finished – just a few tweaks before it is ready to show.
Plate making has begun – engraving perspex with images of T-cells.
The Sea of Rock series of monotype print-paintings explore the area of West Beach that I walk along during low tide in Watchet. When I am walking along the beach I imagine those days past when Samuel Coleridge, the Father […]
Each successive layer of rock pigment furthers the form of the image seen and remembered on West Beach, Watchet. The artist proof allows the opportunity to play with the forming of the image; the way I work with the printing ink creating […]
Gene Expression: A Wellcome Trust funded project exploring the role of the thymus in autoimmune diseases, interpreted through video-art and prints.
Since my day in Colne I’ve been working on translating my experience into visuals. As I mentioned in my summary of the residency day I didn’t want to simply produce a series of works depicting the town and the landscapes/architecture […]
