I’ve filmed a fair amount of my process for various presentations, but I’ve never really paid much attention to the sounds in my studio or the sounds of the making. This was an interesting element – something I might consider when making future videos of my progress/practice.

Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar
The provocation “Artistic practice is inherently uncertain, the whole process being a kind of faltering journey from there being nothing to there being something. If it was possible to lay out a set of ideas and tools that would fit together easily to comprise a piece of work then not only would art be aContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar”
Unit 1: Week 19: One-to-One Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting
I had a very productive one-to-one Tutorial meeting with Michele Whiting on 19 February 2024. These are my summary notes: Overall feedback notes from tutorial discussion With regards to my contextual Essay (1000 word excerpt): Action points arising from the tutorial
Unit 1: Week 18: Practice-Based Research: Investigation 1
All of the reading that I’ve been doing up until now, and will continue to do, has given me a deeper understanding of interconnectedness and entanglement. I feel that it’s improved my foundational knowledge, and put me in a better position to understand where I’d like to go with regards to Practice-Based Research, which hasContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 18: Practice-Based Research: Investigation 1”
Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The Periodic Table of Elements (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)
Investigating Entanglement and Interconnectedness, and thinking about the idea that we are all made from stardust, it was an obvious conclusion for me to come to the Periodic Table for scientific proof of our interconnectedness. It is not enough to say ‘we are all made from the same stuff’ – I wanted to know exactlyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The Periodic Table of Elements (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”
Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure
BRIEF: RESPONSE: How did this experience challenge and/or shift your intentions for the work and your sense of knowing and control? As an artist, I’m quite a planner, so this painting was quite uncomfortable for me. Even though I started it before Week 17, I started it with the intention of creating something entirely spontaneous,Continue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure”
Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The work of James Lovelock (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)
To further my research on interconnectedness and entanglement, I am now reading some of the work of James Lovelock. I’ve just finished reading Novacene: The Coming Age of HyperIntelligence, and have started reading Gaia and We Belong to Gaia by the same author. What a refreshing, coherent and uplifting read Novacene has been. A far departure from some of the other booksContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The work of James Lovelock (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”
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 11: Research: Sacred Geometry
I have found myself drawn to geometry and sacred geometry for decades, even before I understood the meanings and/or potential meanings behind certain geometric shapes. The first image shows my listing Sacred Geometry as one of my concerns a few weeks back, but at that point I was unable to make a connection between itContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Sacred Geometry”
