Narratives in Art.
Narratives in Art is a living archive of my practice, a space to document, process, and think out loud. Posts might follow a new work, a small observation, an exhibition, or a question I can't yet answer. There is no fixed agenda here, only an ongoing record of how the work develops, where it leads, and what it is slowly becoming.
Research Supervisor Session.
A reflection on my first one-to-one with my research supervisor, the freedom to explore my ideas, and trying to keep momentum going with writing and art over summer.
Reflections On My Third 1-2-1.
As my first academic year draws to a close, I reflect on how far I've come - from overcoming fears of being perceived to reimagining how I make space for my practice. This post explores the shifts in mindset, energy, and medium that are helping me find momentum again.
Kees Stoop: Leven En Werk.
Translating Kees Stoop: Leven en Werk from Dutch to English as I read added depth to an already intimate portrait of the artist. More than a biography, the book reveals the quiet power of Stoop’s simplified landscapes and poetic approach to art.
Reflections On My Second 1-2-1.
These 1-2-1 tutorials always feel like a valuable pause - moments to recalibrate and refocus my direction of study. This second session reaffirmed that I’m on the right track, while also opening up new avenues for experimentation. We explored the role of negative space in my work, the idea of balance in Chinese Brush Painting, and how translation - of memory, place, and emotional resonance - continues to shape my practice. I left the tutorial with a renewed sense of confidence and excitement, eager to push my work further, both in scale and concept.
