China trip images
I was in China over the summer and saw some amazing architecture, including lots of great roofs! I want to catalogue those images here because I think they might impact my structure designs and sketches.

Notes on the book: Lives of the Artists, Lives of the Architects by Hans Ulrich Obrist
As I am reading this book I am folding corners or underlining bits I think are interesting. Here I am going back through the book and picking out all these flagged bits, which I can then categorise into themes to reveal channels of thought I have been having. Here are some bits I thought worth…… Continue reading Notes on the book: Lives of the Artists, Lives of the Architects by Hans Ulrich Obrist
Artist & Exhibition: Alice Wilson, ISLAND
I read the description for this exhibition on a-n’s site and thought it sounded relevant to my work. Wilson’s use of so many mediums is interesting, but also how she considers access to landscape as well as our experience of it. Access is not something that I had considered before, considering this deals with things…… Continue reading Artist & Exhibition: Alice Wilson, ISLAND
Notes and images from a trip to Manchester Art Gallery
Lowri seems to treat each person in his image with equal importance. Equal importance and therefore equal unimportance. Each had their own story. Louis giovanelli Darkening painting. Her work would fit into the tight rope exhibition at the white cube I saw a few years back. Egyptian party. I love how there are no descriptions…… Continue reading Notes and images from a trip to Manchester Art Gallery
Looking back to go forward
1. I saved some screenshots before the summer started of some directions I wanted to go in. Returning to these screenshots now is a wonderful way to pick things back up with a fresh, if not dazed perspective. I want to do a painting where the viewer feels as if they are standing inside a…… Continue reading Looking back to go forward
St. Mary’s Church in Gdansk
I had a friend send me these images knowing I would like the interior architecture and she was right! The white washed walls, symmetry, delicate geometric shapes and simple arches really inspire the sculptures I want to make more of. These images are the perfect way to throw myself back into my practice after some…… Continue reading St. Mary’s Church in Gdansk
Big painting adding the structure
Exciting to imagine the sculpture on the painting. Three stage of translating the sculpture onto the projector. I was about to begin drawing the sculpture free hand on the acetate but then I realised why am I not just printing the image and tracing it? I did this and it worked like a dream! It…… Continue reading Big painting adding the structure
Digital sculpture on painting
Before doing any sketches I wanted to see what angle and size would work on the painting. These rough digital sketches are really helpful. First edit. Sculpture legs aren’t long enough because height of trees is captured although space and depth is. This second one works because the legs are longer so a great height…… Continue reading Digital sculpture on painting
Big canvas painting process
This is the first big painting of this term, but my process and scale etc is all built on what I was doing the term before. There are however a few changes I made to the painting process for this piece which has changed because of feedback I have had on previous paintings, and the…… Continue reading Big canvas painting process
