Dissertation Done!


YES ! Two copies printed out and bound and posted through the assessment box.  9,000 plus words.

Title: How Shrines relate to Contemporary Art.

And here is a picture of the painting with shrine as it was presented for studio assessment. I feel that it is resolved finally. There is a hidden addition under the canvas flap!

Collaborative Narrative at Beach Creative



I have been lucky to have been invited to exhibit a piece of my Art in this exhibition at Beach Creative curated by Krztian Börst.


Spot the Access piece that I did on the left!


 These are works by Krztian and it also gives you an idea of the venue



Ex UCA student Harry Thompkins' painting is on the right.

It is a lovely exhibition and one I am proud to be part of. Some really good work in it, all working well together. It was organised in two weeks and I was only given three days to get myself organised. It certainly doesn't look like a rushed event. 
Dissertation hand-in Next week !!

Assessment time


We have been back a week and have been setting up our work for studio assessment. I have been juggling time between doing dissertation, gathering and pulling together work from this last semester and also sorting out storm damage to my home. What ever I might have left out of the assessment will have to stay out now. It has been a crazy week. The studio is looking strangely tidy!


 I have three pieces in the outside spaces. All three have altered. The shrine paintings are part of an installation, with video, furniture and added detail/objects.

It started like this :


and then became this!



Other two pieces to be posted later. I might well try and get a better photograph of the insulation. This   piece will develop further after the assessment. Health and Safety and resource person told me that the back board would cost me £40 if I could not return it to its original state. (made me rather cautious). It looks best in the dim light around 5.00pm. This picture is rather bright.
