I popped down one of my rabbit holes. I thought about what interiors, scene setting, costumes, light and objects mean, how we use them, how they set the scene, inform our identity and change our moods. If created collectively they can become oppressive. If created as a family, or culturally they identify, by an authority…
Week 31: The Publication-Layout & Design
It’s been really interesting picking apart the journals and publications shown to us. I’m not sure why I haven’t realised there were so many possibilities, tips and tricks. I just remember rules and others editing. Books have always been a huge part of my world. They were usually paperback or books you look at, picture…

Week 29: why.
What and then how. They makes me get up every day. In Japan House doing a workshop a few weeks ago, I found a book open on a stand, the images were just so beautiful and had that ”other to them” I found it hard to put it down. I looked for the authors name…
Week 29: Research -whats it all about..Hepworth and Ayres.TateShots | Tate
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.
