 used a test veil to put cyanotype mix on but it doesn't hold. Rinses out and I'm not convinced i can spray it with anything that will make it hold   cathedral veil will be the same - do i sew different fabric to the bottom of the veil? have a large square base for the display -talked fixtures will Mally - sticking with screws and nails for items on the wall. The hat - considered too representative of witch - angry feminist perspective - stereotypes.  I  wanted t o  include the  witches'  hat as a  standalone  object that could be interacted with by an audience but conceded that  it   would be  disjointed  curated in this way .  I had a hunch of what  I  was trying to achieve but t he reading  may have  be en  specifically around the witch as a stereotype .   I wanted the hat to be a vehicle to  represent  the change from independent women to isolated women . This is my thi...

  Sticking with methodology - edges/ archival  Primed all over Acrylic base coat Turps and oil green linseed and burnt umber over to give painting surface for a Venus  Draw first - Dark to light - Start thin. umber oil and linseed over gesso and acrylic base  Green gold oil & turps, over gesso and acrylic gree mix Started sketching in pastel with a wet cloth to remove incorrect lines- slowly replaced with polychrono until happy with copmposition. Looking for differeent angles that we survey the sculpture to replicate how the sculpture is viewed and give an illusion of movement Running with same methodology and mechanisms but thinking of adding teal to background so there's a contrast with the olive green and flesh. - nod to handmaids tail and chosen compliance of comanders wives.   decided to keep to mechanisms - green substrate sorted/ line work sorted.. was going to start painting but thought if i work in series and do 3 at the same time - it's more consis...

 I was prepared to ask about getting on peoples radar and bridging the gap - but as the guest speakers shared the work of artists that they'd worked with - it didn't feel like my audience. I know there's a gap -  i think when Lotte spoke of the space they had, i was interested in how she secured it - much like in London, speaking to Bow arts -but Nicolas was quick to point out that financial questions are not the right questions.  I thought - they are..., when you come from Stoke, time is money and financial clarity is helpful to recognise which pathway to take.  The artist community is amazing and i have time for other artists. I've found lots of artists who I can turn to for advice and support and they have that from me too. My motivation when exibiting is not money - its conversation and development - I didn't feel a question about the space was invalid. Nicolas was correct when he said without a practice you don't have anything.  I also considered after this...

6 July -  Considering the context, influence and historical timeline behind this text. Really want to show this in large vinyl. Discussed further in conjunction with exhibition proposal -  considered text on blind /s  text on spoons (Becky feels one large photo of a spooon is sufficent and reads differently to lots of small spoons with satirical language on) Where is it - does it frame the work before you have chance to read the work? You can have your cake and eat i t along the side of the painting - cross references with the title of the work. - Where is my cake? refers to the impossibility of both things being true at once. If you eat the cake it is no longer in your possession - you can't have both. Much like, with equality - you can't be good at both domestic/motherhood/ batch baking /presentable always woman - at the same time as holding down a career and putting 110% into going the extra mile for your employer. 

Examples of artist catalogues / exhibition zines.  We collectively really liked the tracing paper, hand bound and ring bound ones.   Kit wants to use ring bound ones to show more of her work - specific to her practice. Kit and Elle want to do a paper catalague utilising print bureau - we've agreed on this and created a timeline.                                             Timeline/ objectives that  I've set up by my studio space to keep everything communicated. title suggestion from Elle - Terminal Point - sligtly political - referencing the end of the opportunity to study a masters at Staffs. Do we all do a statement about why we chose to do a Masters and connect it to the arts scene in Staffs? Read :You Talking to me - Ralph Rugoff Considering ideas of how to package our works, make them connect and give the audience a way to engage in a space that has been used...
