Exhibitions and Events.

Coinciding with the annual Spike Open Studios event over the coming May Bank Holiday, two Fine Art junior fellows; Hannah James and Adam Higton have curated their own event to be held in the UWE Studios.

Production line will mock up a production line and will allow members of the public to witness both the production and exhibition of new works by UWE Fine Art students.

I myself will be continuing an avenue of my current practice of simple interventions of archival materials that has formed the basis of my practice this year.

Drawing on the literal sense of a production line were workers are highly trained in performing specific jobs, I will be conducting intensive and skilled manipulations on found photographs that will serve as the final stage of production of my work. That is, using embroidery thread, I will sew intricate patterns and geometric shapes directly onto the people in the images. These appropriations will distort the characters involved and will often craete new fictional narratives that often seem borrowed from fantasy. Although I will consider these works final pieces, they will also act as working drawings for the masks and disguises that I will later construct as costumes for later video works.

I hope to see you there at some point over the weekend but if you cant make it, photographs will be posted on here after.

Early Third Year Works

Be Careful What You Put Them Through (2009)

This piece dates back to the start of my third year where I started experimenting with 35mm slides.

There is deffinatley something sinister about this piece that I did not realise until I had named the work. Who are the children with the oblitted faces?

I am strongly interested in how the titles fuel or often create the haunting atmosphere of the work. This is particularly inportant when I concider how narrative is emerging as an significant context of my practice.
