Collecting and hoarding

We had our symposium recently in college. This entails, standing up in front of everyone and talking about your work. It sounds easy but is pretty damn terrifying. Not only do you have stand up and talk about your work, someone will also interview you as well! I made a power point presentation a few days […]

No pressure so….

I have two months left of my Masters. This is a genuinely terrifying thought. Questions start floating in your mind like, ‘Am I using this Masters to the best of my ability?’ ‘Am I pushing myself enough before its all over?’ Although these thoughts are good to keep myself on track the more important question […]

Still Life by Sam Taylor-Wood

This is a video by Sam Taylor-Wood from 2001.   This is amazing to watch all the way through. Without the pen this could be from anytime in history. I find it an interesting inclusion for the artist to make. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIzXWGcb3u0&feature=related

Art for the masses

Our M.A essay deadline is looming. In just three weeks I have to hand it in. Over the last few years I have  dreaded these deadlines. I have often struggled to find an interesting topic – one that has enough information available in the library, while also being something relevant and current. Without fail I […]
