This Friday saw us first hit up the web resources for some Research on our year long project and essays, then a trip to the Print Hub to learn about Riso Printing and finally a great chat with my Academic Coach Lauren. A busy day!!

At the end of last year, Alice gave us a task to create an A3 size board containing references, text, quotes and examples of images that we were interested in related to our year-long project.
My year long project so far has been a proper mixed bag, some print destruction, some negative distressing, some architecture, some portraiture so I put three boards together using my computer and PowerPoint along with the graphics table so I could scrawl directly onto the digital page.
This first week back took a turn for the surreal in the Friday lecture on Surreal Narratives using Duane Michals to talk us through the important points.
Sarah x 2 came to talk to us today about their practice and how they are better individual artists when working together. Oh and lots of food discussions too.
The lat Tuesday before Christmas and with some colour printing complete I stood and had an informal chat with Niki that was very enlightening.
What about a nice little bit of Typography on a Friday afternoon then? Lovely stuff. Some of this really appeals to my super picky and pedantic nature..
This week is a review week of Semester One and all the work we’ve created up until this point. What do I need to improve upon, what can I do next to try different things? See what Alice and I talked about.
What happens when you have an “original” idea of something to make. You find out that it’s been done before but that doesn’t stop me having a play with it…
For this semester an Exhibition Review is required, here is my review of the excellent Chris Killip Retrospective in The Photographers Gallery London.
Time to do some more printing ready for some chopping up and a tutorial chat about why I love breaking things open…
Photograms and Alternative Prints? What could possibly go wrong in my journey to take on two of Alice’s small challenges in the name of exploring Materiality.
Seminar today was about Materiality, Purists, Pictorialists and a bit about Academic Integrity and Referencing. Some questions and a couple of challenges to complete.
As part of my Full Year Project we sat around and chatted about each other’s work in a tutorial session. Here is my first group of test prints that I chopped up and reassembled. Why did I do this?
Time for a chat about ideas for my full year project, and also a little bit of getting back into the swing of Colour Enlarging and printing.
A trip to London’s THe Photographer’s Gallery in October for the Chris Killip Retrospective Exhibition. Should you go?
