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 […]
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
The latest assignment at UCS is Individual Practice. This is based upon reflecting upon one’s previous work and developing it further. I analysed my previous assignments and the result is that most of my work has been presented as an abstraction of some sort. My previous assignment focussed (sic) on the colour ‘Yellow’ and the […]
Neglecting one’s posts
I have been noticeably absent from regular posting this month, and indeed last month also. This has been because of blogging on a different platform for University assignment work. What I have realised is that time is even more precious than I already knew but dividing precious time into social media contibutions has to cause some disruption […]
Red letter(sic)
As a part of my recent exercise into photographing yellow on the street for the Fujifilm Student Awards ‘the colour of…’ competition, I have been drawn to litter and wondering why and who discards is. For some time now on my walk into UCS, I have noticed discarded used condoms near St Edmund’s House where […]
