Progress - a-n The Artists Information Company

On the 21/04/21, we continued to work with our Riso prints. I had brought a range of colour/size paper to trial in the Riso, mainly pastel colours as the inks are so bold, they possibly need a soft paper behind […]

After discussing my first prints for the Riso with Srin last week, I wanted to get more hands on e.g. think about layering, the formation of colours and possibly text. I created these stencils with no bitmap to play around […]

Stop, start, stop, start, hesitate, consider, wonder, decide, change, update, progress. That could describe this past year with pandemic lockdowns and it has been stressful. However, due to the a-n Artists Bursary and Arts Council of Wales National Lottery Good […]

I continue to turn up at the studio, and today it was nice to not know what I would be doing before I got there. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that I was not already thinking about […]

To celebrate is to commemorate, observe, honour, mark, salute, recognise, acknowledge. For some, celebrating is easy, as if shouting loud about achievements is ingrained. For others it is a quieter process, more understated, or may not happen at all. But […]

i’ve visited the silk mill site this week – at the invitation of the museum trust’s site manager.  we spent an hour walking round. here are a few of my highlights from the visit.       a leftover question […]

I’ve been re reading my initial blogs on a-n. Trying to discover some progress, development in my thoughts and achievements in art and life. Some aspects remain constant – lack of self-belief both in life and my art but there […]

I have known Davin and admired his work for a number of years (http://www.davinwatne.com). In 2012 he showed some of my work in ‘Look Attractive’ a group exhibition of international artists at UMKC Gallery in Kansas City. In 2015 he […]

So I know I only wrote yesterday and no one is probably reading this anyway but I have also decided to use this new blog as a way of reminding myself that I am actually doing stuff to move things […]

this morning my sore throat woke me, i sighed and sniffed and realised that i am once again with cold.  undeterred i did my chores this morning in an attempt to carry on as normal. today does feel normal.   […]

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear blog, Happy birthday to you!   10 years old today! DOUBLE figures, a whole decade behind me – wow! And who knows what lies ahead, I certainly could not […]

After the bursary year of questioning, challenging and explaining my practice I feel more informed and focused with a clearer vision of the direction I want my work to take. It has been so beneficial to hear directly from experienced […]

This year has been wonderful for personal development, business progress with BloomInArt, funding applications, collaborations and involvement within the local community. I struggle to blog but I have attached a few images to visually tell the story of my development […]

My first idea for one of my animations, was a dance with a shadow or a ghost of the memory of the struggles within myself as a little girl. The idea I had to create this, was to produce the animation image […]

  I ain’t no blogger it turns out. I do sketch and I scribble thoughts and this is what I wanted to transform into forms which I can not create by hand! I want to create casts within casts, writing […]

Val came up to the studio yesterday and we spent some time reacquainting ourselves with the project after the summer break. I have used the last couple of months to work up ideas based on visuals from the case study […]
