Following on from the previous blog entry I wanted to write about why I am resurrecting an idea for a piece from 1994. Christmas 2014: I went to Germany to what was meant to be a family reunion and that […]
One of the first pieces I saw when I walked into the Alexander McQueen show on Friday was a white sleeveless top made from polyurethane. “So that’s what that material looks like,” I thought and remembered back to a tutorial […]
On Friday I took the train up to London to go to Soho and buy fabric for the vintage 1917-ish knitting bag that I plan to make for my performance/installation piece “small comfort”. I was looking for fabrics in black, […]
During the Residency my plan is to develop and work on two different projects. One is a piece called “Angel’s Nightie”, a human sized Chrysalis-Body-bag. I’ve already written about this piece a bit on my website: www.walkintomyparlour.com The other piece, […]
It’s already two weeks into my three month residency at the Curious Projects Space in Eastbourne, and if I am to write a blog about my experiences I’d better start sooner rather than later. I wanted to begin by introducing […]
Curious Projects opened affordable studios for artists in Eastbourne in January 2015. More than just working spaces, we aim to create a platform for fostering collaboration, encouraging mutual support, and the cross-pollination of ideas across artistic disciplines. As part of this aspiration, […]

ISIS Arts in Newcastle has just launched Corners, a major European-wide collaborative residency and exhibition programme that will see 30 artists and producers arrive in the North East of England during March.
So its coming up to the end of my residency at Airspace. Very kindly the gallery let me stay on for two months longer, which has been invaluable in terms of really seeing the impact of living in the city […]
As my residency draws to an end, I feel slightly sad to realise that this will the last time I spend so much time in Hestercombe house. The smell and layout of the building has become a familiar dwelling and […]
As we all try and combat the January blues (again), I find it a useful pick-me-up to reflect on the previous year hoping that it will serve up some interesting revelation. 2014 was a productive year for me; I entered […]
My Solo exhibition ‘O’ opens on the 16th January 2015 running to the 24th at Airspace Gallery, Stoke-On-Trent Read a little about the forthcoming show on Airspace Gallery’s website:http://www.airspacegallery.org/index.php/projects/o_naomi_harwin
My residency at Airspace Gallery is moving into its fifth month and getting ever closer to my Solo show which will be held on the 16th – 24th January 2015. Trip to London In November I spent a few days […]
I’ve been working on an article for Workbox Magazine about cross-stitch as contemporary art, and I recently gave a talk at the Hack Circus Christmas Party about my project, and putting what I’m doing into words has been a really […]
It’s the final push for my crowd funding appeal, as it ends tomorrow. I’ve been working hard every day since 20th October promoting the project, and I’m now tired and burnt out. There is still a fair bit of money […]
Help fund my first Solo Exhibition. Graduate Residency artist at Airspace Gallery in Stoke-On-Trent. Today I have launched my crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo to raise funds to support the production of work and cost of materials and advertising for my […]
In the window As part of the Graduate Residency Alice and myself had the opportunity to put together an interim exhibition in Airspace’s window space. This allowing us to pilot some initial ideas and works, while also letting the people […]
I step out the airport taxi on to a sandy street. Sand! I know I grin, I’ve never lived anywhere where the city streets are sandy, and the exoticism thrills me. It’s now 3am, but the city doesn’t sleep. The […]
I have the good fortune of a whole row to myself on the airplane. I slump, put my feet up, then indulge in lying flat out across the three seats. However this feels far from indulgent. I’m uncomfortable, and apprehensive. […]
A collaborative project between sound artist Joseph Young and ceramist J Kay Aplin to create a body of work that responds to the landscape of the Shetland Isles, inspired by the practice of John Cage.
Interest in my Thread of Life project is certainly gathering pace, although I still have a long way to go with my crowd funding campaign. This week I’ve been invited to BBC Radio Sheffield to talk about the project, and […]
As it took some time to post my first entry, I think it is appropriate to spend some time recording the activities of October. Preparation for one of these events began some months ago when Barton’s in Beeston, Nottingham announced […]
