The Show: Technical considerations and practical...
Today I visited Sarah Casey in her office hour and had a really productive chat about my work. As a result of this discussion I have decided that it may not be the most appropriate choice to show my film in the Peter Scot Gallery. This is because digital media is a relatively new area for me and is not my strongest discipline. However the film will still be a key element of my instillation in my...
The Catalogue: Decisions and design
The catalogue seems to be coming together rapidly thanks to the hard work of the catalogue team. The main design has now been finalised, individual and group photos have been taken and the team have set dates for the submission of artist’s statements and images of our artworks. The catalogue will also include a map at the back to direct visitors to the various different locations for the show....

At the last meeting Richard got a...

Presentation of my work: the solo aspect
As I have previously mentioned my presentation for the solo aspect of the exhibition will comprise of an instillation incorporating textile-based sculpture and video projection. The concept for the piece centres on the same themes of migration and migrant labour that I have been working through over the past year. The themes are expressed through the creation of a ‘squatters camp’ sculpture...
Presentation of my work in the group show
The final year show provides an exciting opportunity to exhibition our work in a gallery environment alongside a range of diverse art works created by our peers. This opportunity is also valuable because it helps us to gain experience working in a professional setting and an understanding of the considerations involved. However it also provides challenges due to the variety of art works and...
Involve - The day itself
The involve event was a fantastic success and inspiring for everyone involved. Last night we met at the conference rooms to set up for the workshops in the evening. We decided on which space the different groups would have, had a brief talk on health and safety and then arranged our spaces. The sculpture group had one of the larger spaces and we spent a couple of hours arranging tables, setting...

A-N ad designs →
The AN ad has now been paid for. The university were able to pay the balance on a university credit card, this means we have secured the ad and the early bird discount which is a relief. We now have to design the ad and submit it before the 31st of March. I found a copy of last years AN degree show supplement so that the publicity team could get an idea of the styles of design other university...

Involve - Getting to grips with the workshop
Plans for the involve workshop are going ahead and our group have now come up with a proposal for our workshop which involves using a casting technique. I was particularly keen to use this technique because it is one that I am familiar with through using it extensively in my own practice. It is also a technique which is likely to be new and interesting to the students. We had to consider which...
LUSU-Involve - Involvling the Community in the...
Earlier this week (Thursday) I attended the first meeting for the latest fund-raising venture of Lancaster Fine art students – A day of art workshops with local school children organised through LUSU Involve (Lancaster Universities’ volunteer unit). Involve have offered to contribute funding for advertising costs if we design an event involving the local community in the arts. The idea that was...
Publicity Team Update
Currently the publicity team is looking at which publications we would like to advertise in. Advertising in art journals and other high profile publications can be expensive so we are looking to maximise our exposure by picking publications that have a wide readership, or are likely to be read by key people in the art world . We held a brief meeting and decided on a list of suitable journals and...
Degree Show Fundraiser
The first fundraising social event was held in town at the Lounge and was very well attended by students from all years of our course and their friends. The fundraising team secured a good range of prizes for the raffle from local businesses and raffle ticket sales helped to supplement ticket sales for the event. As a result of the hard work of the Fundraising team and the students that supported...
