entioned in the introductory presentation of the unit. This will help you start to map, evidence and manage the journey over the next 24 weeks.

11 June 2024: Practice-based Research: Investigation 3 (The Circle)
Since the start of my MA Course, or more specifically since I began researching the topic of interconnectedness and entanglement, I have been meditating more consistently than ever before. During these meditation sessions I’ve started noticing various events and happenings: sometimes behind my closed eyes, I see swirling colours. Sometimes a deep forest green, orContinue reading “11 June 2024: Practice-based Research: Investigation 3 (The Circle)”
16 May 2024: Silent Crit for 1.3 Cohort
“Dear All For 1.3 students this week there are silent crits taking place for which the 1.3 cohort are split into two groups.

Unit 1: Week 20: Practice-based Research: Investigation 2
When Things Go Wrong: Some art pieces fail abysmally. But I guess that’s part of the point of the Practice-based research process. This piece entitled ‘Metatron’s Cube’ forms part of my investigations into whether, when using elemental materials* and/or when making art around the theme of interconnectedness, this makes the artist feel more connected. I startedContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 20: Practice-based Research: Investigation 2”
Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar

Unit 1: Week 15: Practice – Artwork Progress
This painting, sized at 61cm x 76cm is entitled ‘The Mesh’. This is a working title, and I feel that I can only title it once it is finished. ‘The Mesh’ is one of the many concepts that Timothy Morton introduces in his book ‘The Ecological Thought’ (2010) pertaining to interconnectedness. The process of thisContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 15: Practice – Artwork Progress”
Unit 1: Week 13: Practice – Artwork Progress
Given how long oil paint layers take to dry, I am aiming to always have 2-3 paintings in process so that I am never waiting for one to dry. I have therefore started this new painting whilst exploring interconnectedness. Above are the conceptual drawings/plans – this painting is less on the ‘not-knowing’ side in thatContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 13: Practice – Artwork Progress”
Unit 1: Week 8: 3 Paintings, 1 Journey
These paintings, set here in order of when I started them/conceptualized them, represent a journey that I’ve gone on over the past few weeks. I started out with the David Bowie painting – now finally complete, partially as a material exploration (grisaille technique and oil painting), and partially to explore the topic of AI. MyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 8: 3 Paintings, 1 Journey”
