New Ink Drawing: Reflections

I have been working on this drawing for a week or so. It is ink and acrylic on paper. This was my first attempt at painting this dome line idea on a big scale, even though I have been painting small versions of these for six months now. I’m pretty happy with this first attempt.…… Continue reading New Ink Drawing: Reflections

Colourful Crayon Drawings In Scotland

I bought some crayons and some coloured paper on the way to Scotland last week, after realising I was going to all these awesome places but I had no way of drawing them. I drew from inside a forest in Glencoe, Scotland, and I drew from inside Glasgow Cathedral. I am writing about these sketches…… Continue reading Colourful Crayon Drawings In Scotland

Freelands Painting Prize

More exciting updates… I’m in a group show in London opening at the end of this month!! Click here to book to attend the virtual opening. I still have to pinch myself with this one, it feels a bit surreal. I can’t wait to go and see the exhibition in person.

Reflections and (re)reading the book Art as Therapy

Things have been a bit all over the place recently. Moving house, moving studio, finishing uni. One other thing I have been starting and stopping a lot is my studio practice. I have been thinking and sketching about it in background for a while now, but it’s not something I have had a routine with.…… Continue reading Reflections and (re)reading the book Art as Therapy

The medieval universe and a painting by Botticini

I am looking at paintings titled ‘The Assumption of the Virgin’, they’re all paintings from the Renaissance or older. The most compelling ones, to me, are the ones with incredible rendering of dark and light. It appears that light is really important for creating atmosphere in a painting. There’s something tangible, something present, something palpable…… Continue reading The medieval universe and a painting by Botticini

Artist: Amy Sillman

I am revisiting the work of Amy Sillman because I am interested in how she exhibits her paintings/drawings in lines, like washing lines, very close together: Image from Sillman’s wesbite: https://www.amysillman.com/pages/pagination.php?page=1 or like this: Image from Sillman’s website: https://www.amysillman.com/pages/pagination.php?page=1 I really love this format for form focussed works- such as my ink drawings.

A sound walk

https://soundcloud.com/winterspast I listened to the episode ‘Everywhere: The Pond’ and it was so interesting. The way they asked the listener to walk to a pond, be that a puddle or a huge lake as the podcast was going. Then overlaid were sounds of someone walking in the natural landscape, the landscape itself, and people talking…… Continue reading A sound walk

Space in sound: listening nature soundscapes

I have become interested in the idea of nature soundscapes, and how they can draw attention to a great empty space above me, framed with tall trees or perhaps just open sky with birds above. I’ve been thinking about how a natural soundscape could compliment my work in an exhibition space, particularly the instillation work…… Continue reading Space in sound: listening nature soundscapes
