So, I spent a total of 14 hours perfecting a hang of ‘equals’ work in the UCS Waterfront building over the weekend and Monday this week only to have my work blocked by an Oxfam display then a midwife team going for a record and now to top it all a bloody Christmas tree plonked […]
Wrong side of the track 2………….
Today has been a whirlwind of a day. Truly and most utterly inclement weather this morning saw a delayed start to UCS work with renewing AOP membership, ordering even more film (where does it all go?) and then calling Sam Mellish of ‘Roadside Britain’ fame to ask if he could help out with our degree […]
Inspiration kicks in – Genesis Suffolk Style
So far this term, all 3 weeks of it, I have been struggling to juggle my balls and spin my plates. I always knew that this year would be the hardest academically speaking but somehow the sheer scale and also the dependency on other people to deliver products on time and to budget in an […]
Degree project stalled by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust
At the beginning of July I visited the St Clements site in Ipswich with a view to seeing it as a potential source of photographic study for my final degree project. Having got no answer from the estates management office the route to which forced me to drive around the whole site to travel the […]
Maggi takes the air
I had the pleasure tonight of shooting Maggi Hambling as she took a break from the hullabaloo of the East Contemporary Art VIP night to get some fresh air. I rather like the way her accessories are complimented by the festoon lights around the marina.
Friday 13th September – ephemera
equals=ephemera’s penultimate day resulted in some interesting visitors and results. A day that started with having our dog Sam put down after living with us for 13 years had to have some positive results and a few are shown here. Let’s hope tomorrow will bring lots of people into our studios at Ipswich Town Hall.
After Radio
Well, Lesley Dolphin, BBC Radio Suffolk certainly did us a favour in Gallery 3 at Ipswich Town Hall. Visitors turned up today in what can only be described as singularly inclement conditions because they heard about us on the wireless. Here are a few pictures made today. The Scottish Widows lookalike was made by Keith […]
equals = BBC Radio Suffolk
Today, I had a delightful wireless interview with Lesley Dolphin fromBBC Radio Suffolk. All in all it has been a good start to week 2 of our residency at Ipswich Town Hall. We have had repeat footfall and interest in our work. Couple that with with a gaggle of last year’s new intake about to […]
ephemera update
Yesterday was our first full day in Gallery 3 inside Ipswich Town Hall. Most of the day was spent setting up lighting and completing the hang that we started on Monday afternoon following the tear down in Ipswich Art School Gallery. It was rather sad pulling our work off the walls but such a privilege […]
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 […]
