Looking through the book:Smith, V. & Sillman, Amy, 2019. Amy Sillman, London: Lund Humphries. Sillman mentions the thin line in her work between drawing and painting. Sometimes it is hard to find distinction between the two. Sillman works a lot in ink, then in these big colour canvases as do I. Her material uses and…… Continue reading Artist: Amy Sillman

I primed a large canvas and took it to a new woodland that I haven’t painted a big canvas in yet! This space is wilder than the woodlands I have painted in before, the trees are denser and not as tall or mature. I started the painting at around 3.15pm and finished at 4.30pm.

After looking at Panini’s paintings I am wondering how this sculpture would change if I added little sculptures of people walking around the space? I initially made this digital mock up of what I imagine. The little people would give the space a relation to something more real. But it might take away from the…… Continue reading Mini people in my sculptures…

A publication as a beginning – ‘oh I should do something with it.’ She makes a zine version of everything she does! The zines ‘as these hybrids…… Continue reading Artist Talk J.R. Carpenter Notes

80x148cm thick paper. I wanted to test out some ideas in ink and on a big scale before anything else. Working in ink allowed me to consider ideas without the added question of colour palette. These ideas were:- Thinner brush marks for higher up areas of the painting – How would this new structure shape…… Continue reading Large Ink Painting Experiment

I saw this exhibition at the White Cube in London somewhere between November 2015 to January 2016. I was impressed by a lot of the works there, but was quite young when I saw the show so the curation of the show and writing that accompanied it passed me by. Since then I have thought…… Continue reading Exhibition Reading: Tight Rope Walk at White Cube
