rumination exploration



Backward
got given this cook book for easter, partly because the tv show was so good and partly because im moving away from home for the first time next year so my parents celebrated this by giving me a cookbook hahaha! but this book is lovely and gorgeous as is the writer herself, rachel khoo. just makes me want to run away to paris.

just love all the colours and patterns and everything about this picture in general!
oh my, how cute and yummy!
i was given this book by my mum at christmas and i just started reading it the other day. it is not a complicated or difficult read but i love the innocence of the language and the way it is written from a 15 year old girls point of view without it being about hormones and female politics! a very beautiful account of a young girl being forced to grow up overnight and take care of her siblings, cant wait to finish it.

artist case studies…

for my degree we were told that we had to do more than one case study on artists or people based in the art/craft world.

i chose two women that i have known since i was younger and who have been supportive of me and my pursuit of an art career (i know that i have mentioned lesley in a previous post but her work truly is brilliant so shes well worth a second mention).

sue and lesley’s training backgrounds are, in some ways, extremely similar but, over time and through experience their work has developed and changed so that their mediums and pieces are very diverse from one another. definitely worth checking them out:

-susan liggett

-lesley halliwell

  • so i went on some artist’s studio visits around salford. the studios included (in order of photos) islington mill, hot bed press print studios, and cow lane studios. islington mill was brilliant and amazing, it had apartments, a bar, a gallery, a b&b and studio spaces. it was my favourite out of the three by far but it was reflected in the price! whether you are involved in art or not they are all worth a visit just for the art culture and atmosphere.

  • oh my goodness i have not posted in so long and apologies for that. my degree has been getting me down as i have just had no motivation or inspiration but that is finally turning around (right as my semester is about to finish, not good- i predict a massive rush ready for the deadline after easter!). so i thought id show you a little bit of the work that i have been making and experimenting with as well as how my studio is progressing. my end of year show is coming up next month and i will definitely show you what i decide to submit for this and how i choose to exhibit it.
