I have made it onto Shortlist No.2 for FotoFilmic'13. My photographs will be featured online during the month of May, and will be automatically entered into the final International Juried Competition that will take place in Vancouver, Canada in August 2013.

I have been selected as one of 10 artists who will be working alongside sculptor Tania Kovats for the upcoming God's Bridge Project in Teesdale, United Kingdom.

'God’s Bridge is a unique limestone formation on the Upper Greta in Teesdale. The climate and geology have combined to create a vast natural span of the River Greta, which is as dramatic as it is arresting, and aptly named. Internationally renowned sculptor Tania Kovats will be leading this ambitious landscape based arts project and Artworks in Teesdale. An exhibition presenting the finished works and documenting the creative process will be mounted and toured to prestigious museums and galleries in the north east (including MIMA and the Bowes Museum).'

This month I was asked to document the annual Professional Art Practice Conference at Sheffield Hallam University. Following the week long series of lectures, seminars and activities, it is hoped that students in their final year of study will have gained a better understanding of what it means to be a professional artist. A variety of guest speakers shared their wealth of knowledge and experience, including Turner Prize Nominee George Shaw, Liverpool-based artist Emily Speed and many others.

The Restless Image
Bank Street Arts, Sheffield
6th - 10th November

In their first dual show, recent Sheffield Hallam Fine Art graduates Sophie Goddard and Robyn LeRoy-Evans, will be exhibiting all-new painting and photographic work.

Stimulated initially by Closure (2001), a book of theory written by artist and philosopher, Hilary Lawson, Sophie and Robyn have been thinking on the opposing ideas of narrative and abstraction, openness and closure.

For her new paintings, Sophie Goddard inverts her previous interest in video painting, by painting video. Her work offers glimpses into the world of documentary, freezing an insignificant moment of narrative, and then re-configuring it in paint.

Following a recent trip to Los Angeles, Robyn’s photographs experiment with stillness and movement, lightness and shadow. She works at abstracting the content of her images to allow room for her viewer’s own narrative interpretation, or perhaps instead, a response unbound by narrative altogether.

Both artists work to provoke new discussion and thought around the idea of The Restless Image – an image that sits twitching between the closed nature of familiar representation, and the openness of ambiguity.

I am delighted to announce that I have now moved into my new studio space at Bloc Studios, Sheffield. Many thanks to Richard Bartle for his help in securing me a place at Bloc!

It was a true honour to have had the opportunity to speak with and present my work to the world-renowned art dealer, agent and philanthropist, Anthony D’Offay.

I, along with five of my peers from the Fine Art and Creative Art Practice courses at Sheffield Hallam University, were selected to present some recent work and given the rare chance to speak with one of the most prominent and well-respected figures of the art world.

Three of my recent photographs were shown, which Anthony initially described as ‘elegant’. He asked me if there is a particular photographer who inspires me, which then led into a discussion about the life and work of Francesca Woodman. Anthony mentioned that he recently purchased a collection of Woodman’s photographs that once belonged to her boyfriend. The eighteen photos that make up this highly personal series are now on tour as part of Anthony's Artists Rooms collection.

“Woodman’s work was all about what one can do in a room, with a camera and with a body.”

In the larger of the three photographs I displayed, Anthony picked up on the ‘hand barely touching the object’, which is exactly the point at which I was hoping to invoke my own eroticism.

Of the two smaller photographs, he said that these were more ‘poetic’, whereas the larger was more sexual. He mentioned the importance of ‘the vessel’; that what women do with vessels is very interesting.

Returning to the word poetic, Anthony began to speak quite excitedly about Japanese aesthetics, saying that my work held a similar quality. He suggested I should research into ‘everything Japanese’, Japanese ceramics, Japanese screens, mannerisms, and the Japanese fascination with ‘the mask’ also seemed to spark his interest. He also drew a rather entertaining comparison between British and Japanese culture – “what other nation wakes up after dreaming of tea in the middle of the night?”

I said that I had looked briefly at the work of Nobuyoshi Araki and Hiroshi Sugimoto after having a tutorial with Penny McCarthy last month. Just before he had to leave to do his talk on the Andy Warhol exhibition, Anthony recommended that I apply for a residency in Japan and should go meet Araki!

He asked if I had any more photographs to show him - unfortunately I only had my sketchbook with me. I showed him the photographs from my previous shoots - he asked when I had taken them, I said in January, and that the ones displayed on the wall were taken in March. ‘I think March is better than January, don’t you?’ I agreed, laughing, and said, ‘I should hope so!’ He also seemed to like my drawings very much (the 'Wanting' Series).

Anthony also mentioned Guy Bourdin’s photographs – I have not heard of Bourdin before, so I look forward to researching into his work further.

Anthony’s enthusiasm for my work was an incredible compliment, and a confidence boost that was exactly what I needed right now in the run-up to our Degree Show.

Thank you to my tutors Chloë Brown and Gary Simmonds for selecting me to present to Anthony and for giving me this unforgettable opportunity.

Finally, thank you to Anthony D’Offay for offering me such wonderful words of wisdom and taking the time to speak with me and view my work. It was truly an honour and a great pleasure!
