No one to blame but myself; or maybe tutor Brian Eccleshall who’s going all out on tiny paintings of UFOs and religious iconography. He’s good (obviously) but luckily my palette preferences are somewhat different, albeit inclusive of a bit of … Continue reading Challenge: quick paintings on A6 cartridge
This is the indeterminate gap between submitting the final project of a course unit (and shortly afterwards the materials for assessment) and beginning the next. For me, this will be the last of this undergraduate degree and so it carries … Continue reading The Between Times
Completing Project 10. I’ve been encouraged to trust my instincts as to direction and I’ve experienced this as very supportive, given my more evolutionary than planned way of working. The meaning of ‘project plan’ only became clear at a recent … Continue reading Brief for Project 10, the final unit of 3.2
