Identity

Airports are really strange places 

Photography

Following the disaster of my film camera not producing any photographs of my trips to Oslo and Berlin - I put the film in wrong. Oops. I decided that although the project interesting, finding English things that have seeped into Polish/German/Norwegian society, it became more about looking and finding, which takes time. Instead I decided to go out into the streets with my camera and snap at anything and everything that caught my eye. Later, I will see how things can link to the title 'Identity'. 

As is probably quite obvious I am still trying to get the hang of film cameras - I am still learning. But often I am finding the 'technical' mistakes I am making make for an interesting photo, perhaps a little over exposed, out of focus, or a little too dark. This sometimes adds something to an image. 

The camera I am using is a Rollei 35, and I am switching between Ilford Pan400, and Kodak Gold200

Nebula Paintings

For a while now I have been making Nebula paintings. It started off linked within my studio practise but as this has developed into new things, I have continued to make these paintings. I was commissioned for three paintings this summer for Beacons Festival, I have a series on display in a Café in Nottingham, and in Leeds, and I have done various commissions for friends.

Although not relevant to my practise, I enjoy making them and people seem to like them, and I have received two more commissions here in Poland.

As it turns out, I am not taking any painting classes this semester, so it's nice to be doing this as a break from the rest of my course.
