Creative Entrepreneur course

Relating to the previous post where I was thinking about studio names, I thought I'd start reflecting on the creative entrepreneur course as I go along as I need to write a reflective piece at the end and I find it helpful to reflect here as I go along. Week 3 and I've to speak … Continue reading Creative Entrepreneur course

A year on

It's been a year since finishing my MA, and I've been taking time - both to continue making and also to focus on what I want to do going forward. I feel the need to register as a business, but first find a way to describe myself and my story in a succinct, understandable, short … Continue reading A year on

Pulling it all together

Its only a few days now till we set up the assessment exhibition, and hand in our evaluative statements. I've mocked up my space, which is a bit tricky as it's cut in half with a partition wall. The work isn't quite fitting but we are going to sort it out on install day. I … Continue reading Pulling it all together

I do struggle to post in my own account, especially at the moment when much of my work is written or organising for the exhibition.

Shetland glossary- visual poetry

I've worked on a few drafts of this. I began as always transcribing the words into a word document, this time from my glossary of tabu terms from the Haaf fishermen, found first quoted by MacFarlane, then in my Shetland Glossary bought online from the Shetland Times bookstore. ‘Shetland Words’, A dictionary of the Shetland … Continue reading Shetland glossary- visual poetry

Practical reflection

The organisation of the work final presentation has progressed in the last month. I’ve had a couple of meetings with the blacksmith Alesdair working out how to make the water trough for the top of the plinth. He had problems welding the steel plate, as he applied heat it was warping, so I’ve abandoned that … Continue reading Practical reflection
