Transitions a body of work
As I move from my home studio and towards going back to the postgraduate studio sometime in September, I have had to make the decision to give up my studio based in Hitchin. This is a move to consolidate the sustainability of my practice. During this three month transition period, I am going to theContinue reading “Transitions a body of work”
From the post graduate studio to isolation in three prints
Printmaking has re-emerged in my practice as a major influence on my thinking for the other aspects of my work. It somehow weaves through my work creating a cross over thread that catches all the varied ideas and somehow makes the ideas seem to connect into a common tapestry that I see as my practice.Continue reading “From the post graduate studio to isolation in three prints”

Researching poetry in visual art
I have been researching the currency of poetry in art practice. I have always been interested in the written word and poetry. I appreciate poetry as performance but also how it can be visually portrayed. I had been aware of poetry in art, mainly in the form of Fluxus. Jumping forward I have been lookingContinue reading “Researching poetry in visual art”
Studio research, printmaking to generate visual ideas
Looking back over the first term at the University of Hertfordshire, I found that I have used printmaking as a way of working through my ideas both visually and sculpturally. I found that there were problems in my work that drawing on its own was not resolving. I had an introduction during a workshop withContinue reading “Studio research, printmaking to generate visual ideas”

Following from being set a piece of work to define our practice, there was a seminar with visiting lecturer, Helena McGrath, to establish what our research should be about. We analysed our own practice, what we are interested in and what we do. I found this process a bit alien and difficult at first asContinue reading “Defining practice research, methodology and complexity”
