I just watched the Japanese sci-fi action thriller Infra-man from 1975. The costumes were AMAZING.

Jesse Darling’s exhibition: Ballad of st. Jerome
Art Now: September 2018.
This is an exhibition I saw at Tate Britain a few years ago it was based around the story of st Jerome, a Christian scholar who translated the bible from Hebrew and Greek to Latin. Using this narrative to talk about identity, gender, sexuality, love and companionship Jesse Darling makes creatures and scenes out of found materials.
Flat crit!
Every Friday me and my flat mates Gemma, Gabriel and Maria have been getting together to talk about what we have done that week, share research and give feedback about each other’s work. It has been very helpful so far and brought to light artists I hadn’t heard of before that relate to my practice. I feel very lucky to have fellow art students around me that inspire me!
Mask making and planning for narrative shoot
Storyboarding, planning and mask-making for a series of either photographs or video based around a bible story from the old testament Genesis 38. I plan to make 4 masks and two models of babies, source and put together costumes and do the narrative shoot in the Pentlands hills.
Artist- Ron Nagle
San Fransisco based artist Ron Nagle makes small scale ceramic works that seem to me like little otherworldly landscapes or sci-fi sets. Nagle often refers to his works as ‘visual jokes’ and gives the work humorous titles (although he says the title has no relation to understanding the content of the work). When I see Nagle’s sculptures, I think I can see that he is having fun, although ceramics involves lots of skill, concentration and some frustration, I see his work as playing with form, texture and words. I like how he has stuck to almost the same scale and format and see how much he can take the form into other directions.
