research journal (MA and beyond)
keeping busy: i suppose it has been a while since i posted but that's not to say that i haven't been busy, maybe too busy to post. over the last few weeks i have completed my psychogeography course 'investigating place through psychogeography' and that turned into a bigger than i thought video and text project...

printing in tandem: along side the work i have been doing on my psychogeography project, i have also been working on developing a screenprint series between the gaps of working on the dérives etc. i didn't get a chance to post about this work until now so have set aside this morning to get up...

scale of project: i have been really busy continuing my research, dérives and making for the short course i am taking in psychogeography. after our presentation last week i have now begun to format my research, dérives and making into a presentation padlet which follows along to the beat of other dérives and narratives i...

the urge to categorize: posting my images - turns out i can't help but categorize just by the selection process. a bundle of like minded somethings ... or not
resisting the urge to categorise: i returned to sandymount again last night. i just wanted to have a quick look but ended up taking a stroll and soaking up the place with and without camera captures. its too early to say what they are, why they are or where they are or going. seems like...

short course: i signed up for a short course - 'investigating place through psychogeography' through the OCA and am working away on gathering, researching, collecting, making etc through the derive and enjoying the openness to amble into different territories and different idea. drifting yet anchored ... see link to my activity below https://oca.padlet.org/embed/q18j67qwhytke2as
back to image making: i just got all of my screens restretched so was looking forward to spending today printing. i took a little time this morning going through some of the slow shutter speed images that i gathered during lockdown in tipp. i though i would keep the edition small (5) while i figure...

paper making: i took a break from darkroom processes and got started on some paper making. i have been meaning to get back to this process for some time and today seemed like the day to do it. i think i just wanted some physical and messy making. i kept things simple - using off-cuts,... Continue Reading →
lensless image making continued:i am still working away on analogue and wet processes - processes that attempt to connect landscape as experience to landscape as image in some physical way and adds haptic qualities to the visual and body to the image. i recognise the gendered reading of these processes and continue to explore nonetheless...

photographic work continued: wasn't feeling the best so thought i'd stay close to home. only venturing out for some fresh air, i did manage to do some gathering and ended up returning to some slow shutter speed shots which seemed to fit with the general mood. some shots ... gathering continued: snow came and went...

photograms: i have continued to work away in my darkroom this week - using more found objects from my walks. i am getting a better sense of timing for their exposure and development and longer exposure times seem to work best for these opaque and semi-opaque objects and shadows. i plan on continuing to explore... Continue Reading →
setting up a darkroom: i managed to get some equipment together here in tipp so i can start developing images using analogue and non-lens photographic processes. as we are in highest level lockdown restictions, i am happy with anything at all. i just have the chemicals here for paper developing so that means working with...
