Unit 2 Short Film
A short 3-minute film capturing my art practice as part of my Unit 2 assessment for my MA Fine Art Digital. Thoroughly enjoyed creating this but very hard to capture everything I wanted to in just 3 minutes!
A Happy Accident
I have been preparing recently for the public voting day at The Storey in Lancaster, as the Lancaster & Morecambe Repair Cafe have been put forward for potential National Lottery funding of Pots of Possibility. In just a few short months, it has gone from a lingering idea to a group with over 500 members, 89 volunteers and a small but strong team of committee members. I have been recognised in the local news and have people contact me regularly including being asked to give a talk next week at our local Environmentalist group. It has been a whirlwind, but a privilege all the same.
Music & Lyrics
Much of my work is very multi-disciplinary. I love to experiment with different mediums, but for a long time this felt somewhat disconnected. It’s only relatively recently that I see the profound connections between all of my work - from my love of painting to my obsession with music, poetry and nature.
The Matter of The Heart
Light Up Lancaster is one of my favourite events in our local calendar. Not just the sense of community and beautiful bustling dark evenings in the city, but I absolutely love seeing the art installations all lit up. I have been fortunate enough to see some incredible installations by some great artists over the years, so I was delighted to be invited to get involved with one of them for Light Up 2024.

Interim Show Prep & Shoot
There was a mix of emotions, preparing for the Interim Show, and an awful lot to learn. My initial intentions were to have a physical installation at Trinity Buoy Wharf - anything else felt second best, and almost as if I had failed. Jonathan helped me to realise the logistics of getting a heavy concrete structure to London would perhaps detract from the magic of creating. I decided following a chat with him, that setting up the installation at home, and doing a photo and film shoot would be a different dynamic, and one that I would certainly enjoy.
