My art practice is THE NETWORK… The following 3 points summarise the three learning outcomes of my MA. I’ve been enabled to take a long hard conceptual look at the last 2 years… …the rest is all storytelling… 1. Realisation Over the course of my MA journey, I have developed a body of work that…

Trigger warning: Flashing images, themes of Climate Chaos, War, Death, Global Anihilation, Sex… sadly no rock and roll… some funky music though… A Massive Amount of Community Art Activism and fish… An Agender Penguin, a Non-binary Polar Bear and a Nasty Oily Orca… and a lot of Art… nice… https://youtu.be/dHpbdGRtDKk?si=HUTOS8h3SXGptsHl

It’s report-writing time now. The overall view is people need more information. They need clear guidance, and they are legitimately worried. Extreme weather has marred the two public in-person workshops, which is rather appropriate. The best experience for me was with young adults with delayed learning difficulties. In many ways, they were the most verbal…

Well, it exists. It’s not up and running yet; tomorrow will be a test day. It took until mid-afternoon to find the top of the tripod connector…. After a lot of swearing, I remembered I’d used it on the 360 camera for the ‘Happens’ transmission… My tech assisted in taking my picture – one I…

Learning Outcome 1: Where did this start? What happened? Where are we going?… I started in unit one with this diagram, and I’ve circled in red the areas that have changed. I acknowledged in the first unit assessment that my practice would change. My Art Practice is The Network. A network is rarely fixed; it…

I am so chuffed to get the funding from the Welsh Assembly Government for the Climate Workshops. More paperwork to do! CIC bank accounts are interesting. I miss in-person banking! Supplies to make and order! Avocado stone ink, anyone! Climate week starts on the 11th of November, so I will be doing a social media…

Well, the funding statement is in, so we will see what happens. Funding applications are hard work and take hours to prepare. I hope we get some funding but it won’t cover the cost of the online workshop camera rig and kit (more on that in future blogs no doubt) If I want to run…

A sentence from my PhD study statement says, ‘Crip theory rejects the normative medical model of ‘dis’-abled. Crips are disabled only as a result of societal barriers and attitudes.’ After Borthfest this year, we had a debrief and asked interested parties to come and say what worked and what didn’t. One of the fantastic folks…

My art practice is all about The Network, part of that is to engage with communities of creatives to establish a more equitable, inclusive and eco-friendly world. Making a reel looks like a straightforward operation, using social media seems easy, but the truth is if you don’t work with the platform’s ideologies no one will…

Forming an art-positive Network to combat climate chaos means getting out and about. I went to the Aberystwyth Arts Centre this Tuesday 7th of May to see the Aberystwyth University Creative Arts students put on their annual show this year’s title, Beyond Logic. Aberystwyth University has a traditional discipline focus Art school but you do…
