https://youtu.be/f73TK6-7GOE Our first set project back for summer term 2021 was a two minute video in response to the theme ‘Where Are You’/’I Am Here’. For most of the week I was rather stuck on my very first idea of short clips placed within a clip of me walking up the stairs to my flat, …
Collection of DADA print material Sheer and unrestrained, innocent joy at seeing these pieces displayed in the gallery. I found them after having walked round one wall of the exhibition, not recognising nor being impressed by much of the collection, I went to look over this glass cabinet, and wow! DADA! Spent a while looking …
‘List of Names (Random)’ Douglas Gordon, 1990 – present. Tickled me – on first glance appeared to be a memorial, actually a personal list of people the artist had met and remembered. Depiction of a lifespan/ social life/ human connections – surprised by scale of piece, didn’t realise just how many people the average person …
‘Fullmoon@Bujuku’ Darren Almond, 2009. A series of framed prints of long exposure photographs taken at night, by the light of a full moon. All photos seem to be daylight at first glance. Interesting idea – didn’t know was technologically possible. Photos mostly boring/run of the mill without context of process. ‘Progressive’ Shona MacNaughton, 2017. Photograph of performance. …

Found it humorous that the first painting that greeted me/caught my eye upon entering the gallery was this huge horse’s rump. Funny to me that this was ever commissioned. Something weirdly provocative/domineering about it – big MASCULINE I AM A MAN energy. Animals in oil paintings represent wealth & status – Major William Clunes had …
‘Art Walk For Edinburgh’, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. Participated in/viewed 28/10/2020 at 8pm with mum and mums boyfriend. “Following Janet Cardiff’s voice and walking in her footsteps, as you participate in Night Walk for Edinburgh you will be led through the backstreets of Edinburgh’s Old Town, unravelling a disjointed tale – part game-playing, …
I thought it was important to record the objects in their used state, after the Afternoon Tea event. The same display set up as I had photographed before the pieces had been used. The cutlery came out fairly unaffected. You can clearly see the knives were the most useful/used pieces. The forks went virtually unused, …
13/10/20. Preparations for the meal took all day. I wanted to make all of the food myself, putting the maximum amount of effort in (within one day) to make two savouries, scones and two cakes. The baking was fun, I had to whizz around the kitchen under the time pressure of the ‘Afternoon’ part of …
Films exhibited in Googles ‘Room With a View’, a collection of student work created during the coronavirus lockdown, curated by Amira Gad. https://artsandculture.google.com/project/room-with-a-view ‘Comprovate necessità’, Saladin Faroudi. Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. ‘It’s a personal response to crisis, uncertainty, and altered states of being.’ Sense of unease, pretty Spanish landscape eerily deserted + inclining …
