  • Frank Bowling’s ‘Right Here. Right Now.’ was shown in conjunction with a show from his partner Rachel Scott’s show ‘Warp & Weft’ at Chelsea College of Art and Design in the Triangle and Cookhouse Spaces. Bowling’s large paintings are a violent series of coloured abstractions set out in shapes or patterns that band the canvas,

    The works here are all created using the pixel sorting method and Processing. For this first set of images, I was just playing around with types of images and how they’re affected differently by the code and playing around with different parameters of the code. Some of these have created very interestingly textured images that

  • I wrote a really long post about this but then it didn’t save, I have been putting it off since. In short it was a very interesting look at non-british marble sculpture of the 20th century, though not the most thrilling or radical work I have ever seen. I particularly enjoyed ‘untitled’ -1978 and the

      These images were made using the program ‘Audacity’, usually an audio editing program, in a process known as ‘Databending’ that takes the image down to it’s raw data which allows it to be read as an audio file, before putting it back together again after using a technique for editing audio. Here is a

    My interest in Glitch art came about whilst watching the film ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ by Director Godfrey Reggio featuring a superb soundtrack composed by Philip Glass. The file I was watching had been corrupted in some places causing the distortions seen below. I felt that this style of distortion would be advantageous to my studies of landscapes. I came upon

  • Landscape Study 2

    Here is a collection of buildings and artworks that have informed this painting. I think the painting itself is fairly successful. I wanted to keep in the grid to be a bit reminiscent of 90s vector art posters and the contrast between the bare mdf background and the vibrant paint provides a digitally derelict aesthetic.

  • Landscape Studies

          One of the most important elements of my figure drawings is the landscape that encompasses the characters. My wish is for these landscapes to feel as expansive as those of surrealist origins, but not be directly surreal. Furthermore, Having encountered the work of Artist Gordon Cheung  I have really wanted to try and

  • The arabic words adorning Shirazeh Houshiary’s work are something to be seen. Without a familiarity to the language system, the press release is the only way of discerning that the patterning is in fact made up of words. From far away, they form a field that sits in front of the viewers eye, slightly obscuring

  • So I went to Barbican for the first time, and I can not get over how beautiful a place it is. With some of the photos I also played around with the editing a little, so they are not necessarily that great. But anyway, Barbican, who does not love Brutalism? I want to live in

  • 100 Cups of Tea, 2014

    I made this film last year as part of my A2 in Art and Design. I previously uploaded it to youtube but it got taken down for being too long, however now it is up and available for watching. This piece was very important for me, as much of my work today, including all the
