Month: March 2020

I’ve been having SO many baths. I think it is because I’m missing human contact and wrapping myself up in warm water makes me feel safer.

Sorry mine is from Saturday…I ate some old cream cheese (silly) and got a mild, initially mistaken for an unfair hangover, food poisoning….relieved it wasn’t CV19 but still it battered me and left me in pain. It took away the delight that was getting me through this – food preparation and eating. Don’t take any chances with food, just because you can’t go to the shops…I was more fragile than I thought….

My favourite flowers. I picked them…I needed them.

Made a video of a performance piece for an online presentation for Plymouth College of Art. I’m doing an MA in Fine Art and it’s on ‘The Complexity of Identity’. I’m expanding the field of self portrait. This was the aftermath….

My first oil painting. And a self portrait. In my bathroom. At ‘stay at home’ time 2020.

Plymouth, Devon is a town on a number of hills and a variety of different architectures. As I cycle round I am frequently presented with another stunning view….

I’ve been collecting these palettes for weeks, finding one, chaining it up, asking a friend with a car for help to get it home…and now I have my new mattress and it is all in place ready for ‘stay at home’ time.

Last day before art school closed

I decided that if art school’s going to close I better make a canvas to work on at home. Bicycle for scale. Side to Side with Brian’s sculpture.
