I had another wonderful one-to-one tutorial with Michele Whiting. I find that one-to-one contact time with supervisors is where I get the most out of this course. It is fantastic to receive one-to-one feedback and advice that is tailored to me, my artwork and my research focus. Overall feedback notes from tutorial discussion I spentContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 22: One-to-one Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting”

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 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. It is widelyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 16: Practice: Artwork Resolution: The Enchantment of the Anthropocene”
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”
Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait
I’ve finally finished my Fractured Salvador Dali painting. I didn’t love this process as much as the David Bowie, but I enjoyed trying out Ala-prima painting and liked how quickly I could get this one finished. What I learnt about before making this artwork: What I learnt during the making: What I learnt after completingContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait”
