Happy International Women’s Day! A bit of a short one today. I was recently approached by Llantarnam Grange to put together a guest post for their blog and I decided that it would best to, rather than repeat myself over here, point you in the direction of some other blogs and sites which were interesting to me, so might be to you too!
Read MoreBack in December I visited the UK for the first time in over a year. I hadn’t seen my family since moving to Sweden, since another covid related bereavement and got to spend my Christmas and New Years with them. It was bliss. I was adamant on being in the UK this year for another reason particularly. Me and my twins 30th Birthday.
Read MoreDuring this past month I have felt a little stuck. Maybe a little burnt out. I figured it was time to play and this week, I played with my food and experimented developing black and white film using Pumpkin Spice!
Read MoreI’m am trying to get better at self promotion. In the moment when I have good news or my work is being exhibited, I think “fantastic! I will write post for Instagram/Facebook/Twitter!” I almost always forget to post over here on my actual website. And I need to get into the rhythm of collating information, news and sharing. So I eventually can make this more of a habit and eventually start a newsletter but we shall see how I get on! So I am currently exhibiting and will be exhibiting images from my series ‘Please?’
Read MoreSome of the areas I am interested in and concerned with are phenomenology and photography. In other words, the experience of photographs be that making them, viewing them or the sensory experience. And this particular Series has been reflective of this. Not just the obvious sense of smell being aroused when composing the images, but before this. The cool air and rain on my skin when I hop outside to gather the thyme. The sounds of the scissors snipping the stalks of each plant. This sound unlocked a great and immediate sense of nostalgia and comfort in me. I wonder why.
Read MoreI’m a little late to my own party with this news. However it is in conjunction with a new collection that launched on my shop this week so would that count as being fashionably late? Well I am very pleased to announce for those who don’t know, that I have now opened at Etsy store!
Read MoreAs an artist, rejection is a experience we all must get used to. Be that entering exhibitions, applying for jobs, submitting written work and research, whatever. Sometimes our work isn’t the right fit, maybe not the right time, maybe there is stronger work from other applicants or maybe it just isn’t to everyone’s taste
Read MoreIt is my absolute pleasure to announce that from the 24 April (yes I know it is May please don’t judge me) to 19 June 2021 Llantarnam Grange will be hosting Phrame Wales newest exhibition Ode To Anna.
Read MoreI’m used to working with my hands. Painting chemicals onto paper in the bathroom, developing film in the kitchen. I don’t practice digital photographic work as much as I used to but was recently flung into the world of 3D Scanning. It's been an interesting month of learning so thought I would share what I’ve been up to!
Read MoreWhere to start? Do I just pick up from my last post? So much has happened and yet months of nothing. I haven’t posted much this year. I guess like most of you, there have been bigger things on my mind. It’s been a tough and weird year. Lockdown One began with me, my office, my partner and my dog. It started uncomfortably, adjusting and readjusting.
