I have managed to interview two of my planned four artists and hope to meet up with the third next week. It is starting to look a bit like I might be able to get all the things that I had planned done. I just need to plan two trips to places to explore the idea of collecting specific material and then do some work before producing my second Zine of work produced, by the end of this summer.
Project work
Paper Work
Not an Exhibition Catalogue
In 2020 I produced this zine booklet of a collection of paper drawings that are inspired by a Hound tooth Jacquard knitting pattern. In my work I use technology to work with imagery and create stencils. Jacquard card patterns are an early form of computer programming used to direct a pattern produced by a knitting or weaving machine.
You can see a copy of the zine here.

Who we are who we aren’t

Working with the Leicester collection
I worked with pupils from Outwood Edge Primary School in Loughborough, we used a picture by Patrick Hughes to inspire our work. His work used three dimensional paintings to play with perspective, we then built our own individual model rooms. We added personal touches and then put them all together to make one large construction of the whole classes efforts. This final stage was a spontaneous development by the class, carried out without prompting.
They worked together building models of roooms 
Then added personal touches 
Before deciding they should be added together to make one block
