I continued to print some of the cutlery but got bored so explored a bit of monoprinting – making plates for the cutlery rather than making an etching. thinking about composition and what to put on the plate and used white spirit and string and marks Tom reminded me of the burning of the spagetti […]
Exploring other woods with a chair I took part of my home outside into the woods to explore imagery – the woods I normally would film in are currently off bounds as they are felling trees. The woods have to feel right – there has to be an instinctual reaction for me to want to […]
I made a box and lined it with mirrors. The front of the house is a facade, a 1970’s house that reminded me of where I grew up – not grand or pretty – practical and lacking in any fairytale. On the inside of the facade is a still from the woods, a light on […]
I feel that the large collages have become more successful by removing aspects that were perhaps more obvious or not helping.

Mainly discussed the time lapse video of the installation in the wood – here are some points to think about think about date, time of day looks like drawing tight, taught works loose film looks tacky – agreed it doesn’t work – looks too much like the material woods – timeless, historical, melancholy, no time […]
thinking of making a huge metal spoon to place in a setting reminding me of a domestic space using the footage of people eating onto the spoon – slightly disturbed/funny – toying with the idea as it may take so much time as with the environments/spaces in boxes – this is an idea of […]
