I make things.
20 February 2020 Based on an example spread in Clare's presentation, I wanted to create a layout with all our objects 'speaking to one another' in one space/plane, for a potential contents page. Since we did not manage to experiment with our materials together in the studio, I tried to select images from all our… Continue reading Contents page trial
13 February 2020 Text Research: Exhibition and Curatorial 'Fictions' at Cello Factory: I really liked Gary and Isabel's Editorial which was in the form of a press release, as it talked about commonalities in their works, and the abstract areas they address in their practice. 2. No Realm of Thought, No Field of Vision: Cerith… Continue reading Writing Research
12 February 2020 Cerith Wyn Evans at White Cube, Bermondsey Cerith Wyn Evans is described as a 'conceptual artist, sculptor and filmmaker', and on the basis of my recent visit to an exhibition of his works at the White Cube, I would call him an experiential artist drawing from historical artwork, technical drawings, navigation paths… Continue reading ‘No Realm of thought… No field of vision’

08 December 2019 BISMUTH: At the RCA Fete, I was intriguied by Sara Chyan's holographic Bismuth jewellery, which was based on the concepts of melting and crystallization, and further oxidation of bismuth metal, the processes giving it geometric shapes and holographic colours respectively. This video helped me visualize the process in detail. I think that… Continue reading Crystal Precedents: other materials, properties and narratives
