Yesterday I travelled up to London to deliver my Taylor Wessing 2013 National Portrait Prize entries alongside Keith Locke (http://www.keithlocke.co.uk) , a consummate professional when it comes to photography. We had eagerly awaited the delivery of our entries for weeks now. However, the day dawned with the release of results from the university and all was […]
Everything is 6 weeks late
By everything, I was initially thinking of the flora in the normally sunny county of Suffolk, which is both normally a sunny space but also 6 weeks late this year on account of abysmal weather. Weather that I made full advantage of in my 10 Minutes piece on gutter, grids and yellow lines. Today is […]
Hare(sic) today, gone tomorrow
Yesterday I went to Wickham Market to view City and Guilds needlework exhibits. Some stunning work executed by the exhibitors with very clever use of form and colour. On the way in there were two Alvis cars of differing models and was lucky enough to get to talk to the owners of the green one […]
Exhibition fest and new collaborations
The last few weeks have been hectic with UCS having the Arts Faculty Degree Show quickly followed by the transfer to Free Range of the BA (Hons) Photography work. We also had or second ‘equals’ show open on the 13th June at Slack Space in Colchester with Free Range opening the following night. Add to […]
Busy start to June
The beginning of this month has been hectic to say the least. I shot the build of the UCS Arts & Humanities Degree show over three days from 30th May quickly followed by a DSDM members day in Kensington on 6th June followed even more quickly the same day by photographing the degree show in […]
Out of the gutter
I have swung into action picking up other threads of work following my gutter exercises and found other shapes and colours that attract me. I normally have a camera about my person and some days it is a juggle to choose which one on top of or instead of the ever faithful Nikon P6000. Just […]
Historic & Contemporary Photography – Ipswich Art School
I thought I’d wait a few hours to write up the opening day of our inaugral exhibition of ‘equals’ work. Ipswich Art School Curator, Emma Roodhouse, very kindly agreed to give us space in the gallery alongside another very large exhibit of work by IDPS. The planning and execution of this exhibition was some 5 […]
equals = an exhibition of work by UCS 2nd Year BA(Hons)Photography students at Ipswich Art School
I have just spent a thoroughly exhilarating day hanging a show of work in Ipswich Art School with fellow students Emma Voller and Mel Belton. Today’s hang is the culmination of 5 months dialogue and effort but it is all worth it. Emma Roodhouse, curator, kindly let us have space alongside IDPS and the Museum’s […]
Genesis – Sebastiao Salgado – Natural History Museum
I took a turn around Salgado’s exhibition yesterday. It all and more than I expected. The quality of the hang and printing astounded me and the beauty of seeing grain was staggering in these large black and white prints. I overheard a young person (that is someone not my age by years) asking a compatriot […]
Individual Practice – Ten Minutes
So, April came and went with just about every season possible wrapped into 30 days. A birthday passed by in a blur , as did Easter and also a very successful Prettys Primavera art show that I curated plus organising two other exhibitions with two other students . Add to that a dollop or three […]
