AA2A Artist in Residence at De Montfort University
2017
As part of my AA2A residency at De Montfort University, I am writing a blog documenting the development of my work whilst on the scheme, plus reflecting on the arc of my practice to date and the day to day concerns of surviving as an artist.
So far I have talked about:
The comparisons between graduating from university now and 1993, i.e. pre internet and social media
How your practice can change dramatically when faced with changes of location, peers and audience.
How it changes further still once you become a parent.
Investigations into screen printing after a 25 yr hiatus and the heightened feelings of anticipation and nervousness as to how the prints will 'turn out'.
