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…
