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. It will be important for you to remember to allow time to make work in an open and enquiring way, as well as place your ideas within a contemporary context.Continue reading “Unit 2: Week 1: 19 June 2024: Testing Your Boundaries Worksheet Q&A (preparing for PPP)”

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)”
5 May 2024: Artwork: The Cyborg
Whist creating a previous artwork entitled The Enchanment of the Anthropocene, cyborg-like creatures began to emerge, seemingly willing themselves into the painting and the narrative. It’s therefore been a foregone conclusion that these creatures would evolve into sculpture prototypes. I am reading a lot about Darwin’s Decent with Modification which states that humans – and allContinue reading “5 May 2024: Artwork: The Cyborg”
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 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 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”
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)”
