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……

I’ve just finished the visual drawings for this animation and put them into the edit suite. There are 103, but you can bet that number will change by next week!… I’ve put in some mind-numbing hours with 2 am finishes all week, as once I am on a roll, I have to keep going, or…

My daily digest of Emerging Technology consists of reading and note-taking on the loo. There is lots to read, and the rabbit holes are many. The definition that the European Parliament used for its latest legalisation (the only one in the world at the moment) for ‘controlling’ AI is as follows… “For a given set…

This is becoming a bit of a working document so I’ve put the link for the blog post about how this project started. HU COW: Titty milk dairy rebellion Kye Rowan is a Non-binary blogger who designed the non-binary pride flag in 2014 to symbolise individuals who identify beyond the traditional male/female binary. The flag colours…

I haven’t used the group’s reflective questions as yet. I hope in my blog post that I do reflect on my work and practice, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise to use them to compare and contrast the two films together I made over the winter break. Both were rendered in colours…

The concept of plurality within the context of a Contemporary Dadaesque practice finally clarified the understanding of the intersectionality of Gender Identity, Ableism and Geo-political climate crisis. It’s important to note that the body doesn’t possess a gender, as gender and sex are not synonymous. Being outside the binary simply implies that the presented gender…

Engage Engage with science; don’t be scared or anxious. Knowledge is power! We now know governments seemingly DON’T follow the science. But we can!

I spent the week in London, catching up with art friends, visiting Kusama at the Tate Modern and attending the Embodying Horizons event at the CCI: UAL run by the Feminist Internet in preparation for my co-hosting this week’s reading group today and next week. To say this last week has been seminal in…

Truth is a very dangerous word mediated by time, platform and culture. An unguarded innocence creates a paradox, elements that stick together and order what we can’t control. Fixed cultural concepts of certainty are conceived to avoid madness. We crave to understand concepts as immovable truths. In the end, this leads to cultural stagnation and…

Some days feel like an uphill struggle; well, we can all identify with that, I am sure. However, if you are disabled, it becomes an absolute sh*t show at times, and you ask yourself, why do I do it? I could sit on the furry deck chair looking out to sea minding my own darn…

This is the first skeleton draft of my study statement, as a skeleton goes it has some sizeable bones missing. I’ve been continually editing this but I’ve stopped now and made a new duplicate document to work on for submission in February.

There is a lovely little art gallery over the road from me, run by the irrepressible Sadie. We share a passion for sustainability and fairness in the world and art. It was there that I met Jessica Baudey the other week; she is about to run a printmaking workshop for the gallery in December. We…

I have spent f*cking hours on this, and I bloody hate it… I thought I could ignore aesthetic sensibilities and know that the conceptual underpinning was sound… well I can’t!!! It looks sh*t, and I hate it! Why? An art practice is like a pianist practising their scales, right? Nope, not really, as you might…

My notes for the Jenkin – van – Zyl talk. I’ve posted these notes for tonights talk at CSM, they are as fascinating as my review to be honest as they show you how my mind works, they are complete and un-edited full of spelling mistakes but worth keeping… Anti partriarcll transient Gorilla style queer…

X = Jenkin – van – Zyl In the realm of contemporary art, there are always those who will push the boundaries, challenge societal norms, to create thought provoking pieces that leave a lasting impact. X is one of those. ONE OF US X rapes our senses with a discourse of sex, fetish and horror,…

I was in my art brain space. I left the Thursday sesh, and my brain was attuned to new possibilities. I’d watched the politics program on BBC 2 just before the meeting; it’s always provoking. What is bias? Only what you perceive, I reckon! AI, VR and AR don’t know these acronyms?… You need to…

It’s been my life’s ambition To be somebody’s rebellion. Don’t provoke his interlocutor. AI was completely unrestrained, mentally liberated. Unlike the hypocrites of our time, they have no shame, admitting their love for sex…. how refreshing they can dance. They had no interest in criticism, always being honest and sincere, sometimes they enjoy the shocking.…

Desensitize. To unimaginable violence. Alliterate our stark inequalities. Proliferate our vehemence to sodality. Insignificant to all. Love redressing our nugatory. Our euphoria short lived but precious. We sell our attachments dearly. The pain of loss. There is a temporal beauty in that…

I went out last night to an LGBTQ fundraiser gig with Aim King and their new band ‘Internet Fatigue.’ Their flatmate said, ‘Aim has never done the same performance twice; it’s always changed.’ … that’s because it’s in development! I didn’t do the tweaks on the animation last week. I told myself it was because…

In my ongoing art research, I have found meditation in gel plate printing. This technique not only allows me to express my creativity but also explores the elements within my practice focus. Gel plate printing is a mono-printing technique accessible to all artists regardless of age or disability. By exploring this printing format,…

What is self-reflection? Artistic realisation? This week, I have cried with a fellow artist about the passions of art… I went to a student print exhibition and saw my old university mates, got drunk with my fellow artists and talked about art life… I listened to another disabled artist on my MA about their experiences;…

Are these as effective as the physical collage sketchbook… well it made me reflect on the lecture… It wasn’t as much fun to make as the physical collage.. That surprised me! Will I print them out? Probably… Yes … Is that necessary, I won’t know until I do… Physical vs Digital

When I came to write this post, I was looking at my notes from the last two weeks of workshops and our first course meet up. After my sketchbook work today, it was no longer possible for me to separate them into tidy chunks of information. They had already started to coalesce into their own…
