Looking back at women in the arts, shaping up how they tackled their practice is very inspiring and is helping me to work out a way to gaze out like Mark Bradford. I haven’t realised just how daunting that would be. I opened up my research from my earlier visit to the Tate.https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/ayres-distillation-t01714 Ayres-Back in…

Week 29: pulling the bowl together..apart.
Do I get out to find a new way in? Or look back to pull forward? Akram Kham spoke about your past being in front of you because you can see it and your future behind you. I know it’s not just going to happen I can either work with my subconscious with out thinking…
Week 29: Diagrammatic Work shop.
I really enjoyed this workshop. It was a great concept and there were similarities to the text that Jonathan Miles wrote for Hyung Hwa Shon for her exhibition last year. Both quote Gilles Deleuze, Foucault- his writing on the diagram. I like diagrams I understand them I find they are a great way to explain…
Week 29: Akram Khan
Livia persuaded me to go to the RCA talk last night. So glad I did, he was very inspirational. A dancer, director and choreographer he collaborates with artists, actors, musicians and other creatives to bring to fruition his visions. He talked about the pitch that starts the project… funding it. It is clear, concise brimming…

Andy Holden: Chewy Cosmos Thingly Time – Events – Kettle’s Yard— Read on http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/events/andy-holden-chewy-cosmos-thingly-time/ Always love the way Andy Holden pulls to gather his ”output” in to some meaningful exhibition. Some times it’s just about his granny…..and his relationship with her. His touring exhibition is a chance to interact with his father, which we witness….
Week 28: The Rice Bowl.
My Grandmother had a rice bowl bought back by my great Uncle Tom along with a Hamadan rug from the 14- 18 war – my mother remembers lying on the rug while the diamond patterns of light from the hall way window played a cross it’s red and yellow surface. In the summer the family…
Week 28: Bowls. Research-musical.
Well I had never heard that version. Looks like bowls have a direct sexual connection. We are back to needs- Bessie Smith – Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl (1931) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meuwKhPGItk She really is not going to take her bowl around to the neighbour to be filled….I hope- https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2008/jul/12/popandrock.film. I think they are being…
