New studio space

I finally have a new studio space at Tin Roof in Dundee. Tine Roof is an artist run studio and arts collective, it is in place to provide space for artists in Dundee to work, collaborate and commune. It also has a white space and a work shop which is a great facility to use.

I am overly excited and so pleased that I got a full space to myself. The space itself needs a bit of work, I intend to insulate the walls and roof. I am also going to leave enough room above the roof for storage as well. It is great to have a space like this, at University I was working in a small corner and to come from that to this is just amazing, I can't wait to start working in here once the space has been built properly. So far, with the help of my partner, we have managed to fit a door and also tidy the walls up a bit. 

I have also been given a work bench which I will use a lot!

I will update the progression of the build.

The Stars Were Aligned

"The starts were Aligned" is a sketch book project that I am involved in with everyone in my year at University. Everyone is given a sketchbook which we have to sketch on and then it gets passed on to everyone else in the year each month. Each person has been put into a different group for this too. At the end of the year there will be an exhibition of all the books and we each get to keep one. The books will be a nice memory for everyone and a good way to keep in touch. 

Here is a quick sketch I done on one of the pages of a book, looking forward to receiving another book to fill next month. 

First to spill the wine

This painting is just a small piece that I made in my flat a few weeks ago. I have been sketching ideas for other paintings and also ideas for an exhibition that I have in mind. I have already made ceramic sculptures and lithography prints for this. More updates on this later!
