College 'Open Day' Expo



It is open day in UCA this Saturday. Some of the third years have displayed their work in one of the corridor exhibition spaces. This piece was chosen to put into the show with them ...... a non studio picture to come later!







'I reckon that my body is in the way' is about the predicament of dealing with changing perceptions. In this case the protagonist is not only the brain but also the object. It is a statement about dyslexia.

This piece followed on from some screen prints that I did.

My new studio space!




It is great to be back at college but a bit daunting at first! We are  sharing the studio space with the third years. The space is light and purpose built for painting which is brilliant. So this is the year of colour. The burka is on the back burner............but watch this space because I did a little filming with Aine a couple of weekends ago!
I have also been back in the print room. On the far right you can see a hint of what I have been doing, pinned on a bit of space that I have hijacked.
The seminar group that I am in is 'Shifting Attention/Shifting Perception'. It is interesting but "Oh so intense"We are all either unhinged or exhausted after the sessions!! But the overriding feeling is that I have chosen the right one of the five options. Great tutors.
