C & A Pants
Started making my C & A pants – after being advised to avoid chicken wire I used spot welding to create my pants. I then covered them with masking tape to conceal the wire and a little padding on the bottom

Etching with hard ground and soft ground with some sketches generated from workshop
I would love to make more casts of arms and legs but cannot afford to spend money on alginate – I looked for cheap and easy ways to take casts and saw a u tube of creating form using cling film and sellotape to wrap around limbs – made quite a few but not […]

found that the day was way out of my comfort zone put myself with people who I hadn’t worked with before and because they interested me and I thought they would be really interesting to work with. we brainstormed colloboratively, recorded sounds, horrible sounds, eating, cutting, stamping, cutlery, swearing, popping balloons, ripping, shaking we all […]
I am feeling positive about exploring different ways of working – enjoy and find useful the use of unreadable text and images amusing to me that the reader cannot read the narrative but still can view the marks still the use of limbs as a visual keeps coming up ( unsure where this comes from […]
