Residency - Page 16 of 32 - a-n The Artists Information Company

During the course of the last couple of weeks its been apparent that my work has become focused on the body as a subject and medium. The space felt fleshy and I began thinking about bodily fluids and what the […]

Leaving through forests of golden red and green the sun shining since the first time we landed. Houses dotted on hills and a good song humming on the radio. Feels surreal like maybe this week is just a dream and […]

In my first few days I’ve quickly become absorbed in the making process out of a desire to create an impression on this grand historic space, perhaps to the detriment of exploration and information gathering. My usual approach of slowly […]

This week I have managed to make three and a half minutes of film.  Some technical problems due to confusion over pixel aspect ratio have delayed further achievement – but things are moving along now.  Here are a few stills from the work […]

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 […]

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 […]

  A beach hut show-and-tell Red, blue and yellow beach huts – Dawlish Warren Promenade 11am – 5.00pm Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October Work in progress arising from a new collaboration between Megan Calver, Susie David and Gabrielle Hoad with […]

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 […]
