Something that kept sticking in my mind was nipples, it’s such a peculiar, comical word but is the correct word but when we think of the word nipple; does a female or male spring to mind? I’ve began casting my […]

With mixed feelings of nervousness and nostalgia I shall shortly be returning to work in my home county of Yorkshire. Blog entries will follow my arrival in Brighouse later this week.

Work continues slowly on preparing images and sound for a film about my Ness of Brodgar residency. I’m aiming to create a ‘painting’ rather than a documentary. Here is a compilation of drawings, to be used as a key image.  Let’s hope […]

No  visuals to show this week – but I have finally finished annotating all the sound files. From my daily Drawing Journal on Facebook: headphones and the ongoing mug of tea…

Coming into this residency after such an intense year on the MFA I wanted to allow myself to revisit and re-evaluate my practice. The Cellar instantly reminded me of my previous work when I drew focus to serial killers and […]

Written by Susie David Here we are at high tide, high summer on Dawlish Warren. One side of the spit is opaque jade sea, boisterous with high waves and high winds looking mischievous …dangerous even.  A few people standing on the […]

I have now begun to put the drawings and sounds together. It is slow work and will take all my time over the next few weeks.  The first clip, available on Vimeo, is of archaeologists digging. If all goes well […]

I have taken time out from blogging as it has been impossible to keep it up with all of my time taken up with project managing the residencies, planning a school project, developing a new performance and finalising the closing […]

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 […]

The BBC Scotland website is featuring my residency, with images from my sketchbook journal!

Although I have now completed an online version of my Orkney journal, I am having difficulties in getting it to work online. Another update will follow as soon as the problem is resolved. In the meantime, here is a drawing […]

Over the past 5 or 6 weeks I’ve been producing work in response to my day trips to Colne and Nelson. In an earlier post I talked about making collages and quick abstract responses with paint and ink which were […]

The first two days of this week were spent at the Drawing Research Network conference, ‘Tracing The Bridge’, where I hoped to learn about projects that are using drawing as a ‘bridge’ to other disciplines.  Although I did not find any […]

This week has been mainly studio housework in preparation for developing the material collected during the residency. In between clearing the decks, I have been re-scanning all my sketches as high resolution images on a flat bed scanner, and regaining the […]

A couple of weeks ago I carried out my second residency day this time visiting Nelson, a neighbouring town of Colne and home of The Shop. I’ve previously mentioned The Shop, a creative space ran by In Situ, and the support […]

Now that the residency is over, I am starting to analyse the material collected and prepare to develop work in my studio. This blog will be updated each week with a post about the progress of my project. So far I […]
