My Research Material which relates to Project 1 of PartThree in the course (last updated on 28 July 2023) This is a form of sorting and archiving the materials I work (collect, encounter, see, photograph, take sporeprint,make mushroom ink, paint, draw, write about). This is learning about the diversity of the species to me. I […]
My tutor suggested I look at her work to research ideas into Alchemy. In my research of this artist, I learned that her work exists at the interstices of time, alchemy, and natural materials. It can also be seen as an event when these works are made, almost as Pollock’s drip painting technique. She applies […]
My tutor suggested I look at this Cuban-born artist after reflecting on the ongoing nature of my making. She told me to look at Earthbound by Ana Mendieta as connection to explore further thinking about care and healing in my practice. Earthbound was an exhibition of 14 works shown in 2019.

I want to link this work with my Assignment 3. I have now concluded that up to now, I have struggled to show how making in my artistic practice ‘feeds off’ concepts of thought and knowledge.

At this stage, I also think that taking the methodology of the Bricoloeur is an option as I will use a multi-method approach. I enjoy doing keyword research to consider other ideas. I believe the data I […]
MATTERS OF CARE: MARIA PUIG DE LA BELLACASA (2017) Considering and comparing my learning in this book with the work of artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, whom I researched in UVC 2 and revised her work, Manifesto, 1969. She wrote Manifesto! Maintenance Art and a proposal for an exhibition titled Care in October 1969. I found […]
I came upon this comment by artist Julie Mehretu on social media and think this is how I look at my research for making a body of work:”….that’s what I’m interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is.” Julie Mehretu Project One: Why […]
