Made some drawings thinking about how strength is SEEN and how its expressed in women. Some people who symbolise strength. This is just me visualizing my thoughts right now.. The first image is Joan Of Arc, as illustrated in a propaganda poster from WW1, to inspire US Women to buy food stamps apparently. Interesting that they used a teenage girl who was burned at the [...]

Thinking about the use of strength. sat here in the studio with strong, beginning of period period pains, shoulders and body achey from this morning's training. I'm interested in how necessary that feeling, physical tiredness and muscular ache, equals redemptive qualities, a box to tick that allows the mind to calm and clear, and focus on other stuff. My mind gnaws and worries on the [...]

I say 'Again' as I operate in this perpetual belief that I used to be stronger than I am now. Given that this is true, as I used to spend significantly more time lifting weights and kettlebell training (as I competed in kettlebell sport) than I do now. I also used to teach up to 7/8 classes a day, each of which operated as a [...]

How to treat all this work? I asked artists and creative friends to contribute to this project. In total 21 artists collaborated, which is pretty fabulous. Some of them sent multiple responses which were very different, so in total I had about 30 collaborative responses. It was a great way to objectify my physical self, in an abstract way and address all the issues I [...]

This had started the last time I posted. As in; I had received some works back but I am not sure if I had started posting them to insta. here is what I have chosen to post so far: I have been posting the images I have been sent to instagram, not that that is the final destination as such for the work but to [...]

I am sat here reviewing the guidelines for applying for a visual arts bursary with the arts council. It is almost humorous how the very act of reading the guidelines gives me acute imposter syndrome. I then read over the feedback I got from the recent Covid 19 award application, which was just scores, and the feedback for the first round of the bursary awards, [...]

Each time it becomes less about me and more about them which i had hoped for- so it would [...]
