Using Autoethnographic Abstracted Materialism, 2050:2100 weaponises art and collaboration to resist the void and establish a network of Creative Kindness. My work is driven by the impending Geopolitical Climate chaos of biome degradation, resource scarcity, mass migration and societal collapse. Using up precious resources, I asked A.I. when the Earth would become uninhabitable: ‘Predicting an…

Well I never did find my sundress, but I did find a roll of red felt and thousands of rhinestones so the costume is coming along a treat! Rhinestones, have become a staple in the worlds of fashion, costume design, and decorative arts. Yet, behind the sparkle lies a set of environmental concerns that no…

I can’t find my sundress, I have a feeling it was already donated to charity long ago. For me it represented gender dysphoria and the worlds growing clothes mountain. What am I to make my dick and boobs out of? What I did find buried in my studio instead was some tribal belly dancing costumes…

This was very much a working Tutorial, and after our situational awareness catch-up, we got down to the business of the grad show. We discussed the current state of trans politics and how that affects my art practice, my future PhD, its associated art/network, and myself personally. First, you are what you are; none of…

It was an awful drive to the Mid-Wales Arts Centre today… wet and windy over the mountains. When we got there, Prof X managed to navigate the barns, and we arrived at the start of the talk by the exhibiting artists, Dr June Forster and Junko Burton MA. It was an ideal location for an…

My sketchbook exploration of 2050:2100 is going well. My physical pain is not going well; my sciatica has switched legs. How the f*ck does it do that!!! Thankfully, after years of being a long-haul airline pilot and high-altitude mountaineer, I can fall asleep anywhere… sadly I still wake up in pain; it’s not helping my…

I got an email today. You know, the kind that makes your heart skip before you’ve even opened it. I was shortlisted; there were three places, and I was number 4! If you are confused and think this is the NTU PhD, no, this is an opportunity for an online course paid for by the…

50:00 Is it Pink? It is partly inspired by the 1915 exhibition, ‘The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0,10’ (pronounced ‘zero-ten’). It was held at Marsovo Pole, Petrograd, from December 19, 1915, to January 17, 1916. Organised by the Dobychina Art Bureau, this exhibition marked the debut of Suprematism, an art movement characterised by geometric…

Basically, the Earth is F*ck. I can categorically say that after 3 years of reading scientific data. I was talking to a climate change student last night, and their university offers them mental health counselling as part of their course; it’s that grim. Mass Migration, Resource scarcity, Unpredictable climate chaos, and climate breakdown. But before…

I had a great conversation with JK at the low-res about my plan for the grad show. It was well thought out, used the durational artwork Identity Flags 2024-, incorporated the inspiration of the Leigh Bowery exhibition… I love a costume… especially a naughty one… It faced out to the world… Then I came home…

When a friend said how remarkable I am doing and how I manage to land on my feet when faced with challenging setbacks… I replied instantly… I don’t see them as setbacks but as an opportunity for a new adventure… For the first time since my temporal turn, I thought I was really excited about…

It’s been another tough week. When the going gets tough… the tough get going. It is Sunday, I am bloody exhausted… Monday – was hard. Registering Dwain’s death, I knew it would be painful; my son Eddie went with me and watching his face was difficult… he was shocked when I had to pay by…

Well, I was chatting to my daughter about grief; it’s not easy, is it? Grief is like layers of an onion; you peel one off, and there is more underneath, raw and smelly, making your eyes water. I’m not sure I like onions… Gwyl Cariad is in its final week, and lots is going on.…

Coming Out: When Gender Finally Makes Sense I’ve spent nearly six decades being called “she.” Six decades of checking the “F” box on forms. Six decades of being someone’s daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Six decades of thinking there was something wrong with those other feminine women. Me trying to perform feminity, but looking in…

I thought I’d reflect on the Miro feedback, I will listen to the what worked for me later… (with a box of tissues) Reading the Miro comments was fascinating because some of you understood my practice, and some didn’t! This means that, in real terms, I haven’t fully explained it. That’s pretty important for me!…

I am writing this on my new iPad with a keyboard. I don’t like buying new tech; it’s not good for the planet, but it seems it is good for me. When my heart stalls, my touch screen doesn’t work… it thinks I am dead. Managing my enviroment is a day to day struggle. This…

Amid a tattooing summer, I have my eye on my Art life. BorthFest will come around sooner than one thinks, and a new festival earlier in the year in the neighbouring town is starting to build on the creative network. Tomorrow’s meeting with Sally will look more deeply at funding and setting up the CIC…

Been a busy time, great to see my dear friend at his meet the artist night with Aberrations and Ceredigion Museum in conjunction with The British Museum. Every day is a learning day, and I know I have so much to learn, especially about BAME and colonialism. I grew up in a racist culture and…

Yesterday was the end of the first year of my MA. We ended our year with a Clay-focused afternoon. Of course, like anything on this course, nothing is as it seems, and it was indeed very little to do with clay. Possibility would be my takeaway from this year. Like a block of Red Clay…

When organising an event, please think about how knackered I am going to be! I’ve lived with a dodgy heart for years now, and I certainly have a dodgy body… do I recognise that? Well, not enough! By the time Monday evening rolled around at BorthFest, I was properly knackered! The last thing I wanted…

This is an ongoing blog post, as we have yet to sit down and debrief formally. I need a complete analytical look at the social engagement figures, but on IG alone, we had 24,000 hits. The anecdotal response to the events was we attracted new people to Borth who had never been here before, and…

BorthFest is the idea of Gallery Owner Sadie Everard. Severely injured in a car accident, Everard is in a wheelchair for life, unbowed she started her small contemporary gallery here in Borth. She has also asked the community of our strange art colony village to come together and make a Festival of Art… Ableism is…

Forming an art-positive Network to combat climate chaos means getting out and about.

Aberystwyth University has a traditional discipline focus Art school but you do…

First will there be a future? Yes if we are brave and bold… The Earth will exceed 1.5c warming. The IPCC report says large parts of the Earth will become uninhabitable shortly. Which means mass migration, government instability, civil unrest and war. The climate is not only getting hotter, but it is becoming unstable. If…

Well, by Mid-way through the interim exhibition/ low-res, I was laying in bed looking at videos my coursemate Madeline Kay had sent me… It’s all about pacing…this always was as much about logistics as art, about friendship and connection… about coping with physical disability and my ability/inability to look after my body… My minders have…

I am currently sitting here in tears of frustration once again because I do not have an assistant for the Low-Res programme at C.S.M. Student Finance Wales has set aside £24000 a year for an assistant, but they have never paid out a penny because I have never had one available. My coursemates are willing…

Learning Outcome 1: Formulate, describe and implement a challenging and self-directed programme of study, relating to your Study Statement.(Assessment Criteria: Enquiry) I formulated this program overlayed on the course calendar. It’s pretty full for the first 20 weeks because that’s what’s already or is about to happen. The rest of the units are deliberately vague……
