Settling back into the studio

We have now had our new units given to us. Another essay of 3000 words and some documentation to do on the new ateliers project. That is a project where we have to find an appropriate situation and venue for our work. I have decided to explore 'out of gallery spaces'. And try to be site specific. I think that it is the most creative direction for me to follow right now. I have a few ideas but not ready to share them!  I did Limbo last summer and think that I will leave it until after my final year to organise another exhibition. (famous last words). But I do recommend Limbo Arts.

We are now back in the studios. So I am getting settled into my space again. It is great. Still waiting for the results of the assessments!




Deadlines!


Well we started term with a bang. Essay had to be in by mid day the first day of term, and studio work had to be up by 4.00pm!!

Then banned from work in the studio while assessments were taking place........so into the print room went I.

PAINTING EXPERIMENTS







I had just finished my essay and had a canvas ready so I let rip. This is a post essay celebration!





Now you can see my problem! Before the end of this year I have to combine combine and select from all my different experiments to establish my way of working. I have been using my college experience to work on a large scale.

Seasonal Greetings







NEW EXPERIMENTS




I decided to explore imagery related to Christianity and to experiment with incorporating film. The experiments with film have been interesting but so far not successful!






This is the largest painting that I have done so far.

College 'Open Day' Expo



It is open day in UCA this Saturday. Some of the third years have displayed their work in one of the corridor exhibition spaces. This piece was chosen to put into the show with them ...... a non studio picture to come later!







'I reckon that my body is in the way' is about the predicament of dealing with changing perceptions. In this case the protagonist is not only the brain but also the object. It is a statement about dyslexia.

This piece followed on from some screen prints that I did.
