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

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 16: Practice: Artwork Resolution: The Enchantment of the Anthropocene
I’ve been doing quite a lot of work on my research and writing of my Contextual Essay, and bringing it all together has put me in a better position to be able to write more coherently about this piece: This composition seeks to draw its viewer into the world of the Anthropocene.

Unit 1: Week 14: Practice – Artwork Progress
I am currently researching the theme of interconnectedness and entanglement, and what Science, Neuroscience, Cosmology, Ecology and Philosophy has to say about it, and one common thread that I have stumbled upon is what Morton, T (2010) would describe as ‘The Mesh’. Whilst researching proof of interconnectedness, I could not help but notice the uncannyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 14: 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: Water
I am currently researching the idea of interconnectedness and entanglement on a universal scale, and have been trying to find a connection or common thread between all that I am reading, whether it be Science, Cosmology, Philosophy or Geometry. I’ve found couple of topics where these ideas intersect and repeat, and one of those isContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Water”
Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)
My current hyper-fixation (long may it last) is one that has flitted in and out of my mind most of my life – the fact that I am of the opinion that we (all living and non living species and non-species on earth, and in the universe) are interconnected. It’s never really a line ofContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”
