Today was a good day. I spent the morning updating the web engines for TTG and then sauntered into UCS for a fund raising meeting with Mel Belton and others followed by a tutorial then a question and answer session with Maggi Hambling CBE – most definately not OBE as reported in the Telegraph. She […]
Unlocked
December 2013 has been a strange month for me with three exhibition hangs to curate, a dissertation draft to submit and degree project images to make. All this without the added drama of other incidents. Good to see Alex getting better though. I cannot begin to understand how he feels but given the stuffing it […]
equals Historic & Contemporary exhibition work and ephemera work now hanging in the UCS Waterfront building
2013 has been a very busy year for a small group of enthusiastic students on my BA (Hons) Photography course. The original idea to hang some work outside of Uni came from Mel Belton in the first year but general apathy prevailed. Mel persisted however and in January this year we got together to try […]
Past, present, future
I attended an interesting day hosted by Ipswich Museum yesterday. Two of our current photography lecturers at UCS, Mark Edwards and Matthew Andrew presented a session in the museum using artefacts that the museum staff, Debbie and Rachel had put together ranging from circa 1840ish through to early 20th century (I think), maybe earlier. The […]
Summer placement Ipswich Museum
I have just completed a 12 day placement at Ipswich Museum working with curator Emma Roodhouse. Never in a month of Sunday’s would I have imagined how interesting this assignment would be. I have had a fascinating insight to the workings of the museum, Ipswich Art School Gallery, and Christchurch Mansion including Wolsey Art Gallery […]

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 […]
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 […]
