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 […]
A trip to Vyner St.
A few weeks back a group from our class decided to go to Vyner St. I discovered the area when I first moved to London. An old warehouse street, it had been turned into an art hub full of galleries utilising the cheap rent and big abandoned spaces. I was a little surprised a few […]

His titles for his performances are called things like “Sometimes making leads to nothing” or “Don’t cross the Bridge before you get to the […]
A curatorial Project
3o artists crammed into a relatively small gallery (and fighting for their corner) does’t exactly sound like recipe for success. Minor spats aside, our exhibition at Gasworks went surprisingly well. To anyone reading this who is not an artist, in case you haven’t noticed already, artists are intrinsically selfish. I realise that […]
Exhibitions worth a visit….
In between all that relaxing Christmas shopping, why not take a look at some of these shows; The Power of Making at the V&A This is the kind of exhibition you could force along an uninterested boyfriend to and he would actually enjoy it. A place where painstaking time and effort and astounding skill is […]
