Return to my MA studies

As the temperature drops and clocks have changed here in the UK, I’m starting to think about Christmas. 49 sleeps! (yes I have an app on my phone)! I love the family time, the festive food, giving pressies, lounging in PJs, the decorations!
Life has been super busy jumping back into my Masters degree course in Fine Art this term (after having taken a year off due to Covid) and I have to admit there are moments when thoughts of resting and doing nothing at Christmas are what’s keeping me going! That’s when all the academic stuff starts getting on top of me - and there sadly seems to be rather a lot of that this term - HOWEVER there has also been a lot of FUN as well and I thought you guys would like to see some of it!

What’s it all about?

What’s it look like?

In summary

I’m planning to use this last year of my MA to learn to create sculpture, so I’m trying lots of different mediums to see which ones I like and to make use of the equipment and technical support while I have it. I hope to work with clay, plaster, wood, felt, foam & textiles (almost all of which is new to me).
My work is inspired by seed pods where I'm focussing on creating contrast between the inside and outside (the life and potential within vs the rough exterior). Here is some of my experimentation thus far.

I’ve also done a whistle stop tour of many places trying to see as much sculpture as I can.

Things are moving at quite a pace and I’ll have much more to show you in a month’s time! For now, back to fun with expanding foam! See you soon!
