Sounds Good
Well, I finally got the proper sounds installed on Thursday after a replacement Bela Mini arrived and Tom programmed it as before. This time it didn’t go pear-shaped, but worked like a dream. My university friend Liv came to visit the show, now that it was finally as I had intended it. On Friday evening,…

Voices, Radios, Crocodile Clips and Gendered Education Gaps
There has been radio silence from this blog for a week, partly because of life and partly because I didn’t want to think about the exhibition for a while. It didn’t turn out how I wanted it (the exhibition, not life) and although I have immersed myself in much more important things this week, it…

Sounds Problematic…
Today was installation day. We began by collecting the Bela Mini, all ready programmed with my sound files, from Tom’s house. Once in Hertford, my team (Ben, Sam and Barbara) helped me to carry the sculptures from my studio all the way around the corner to Courtyard Arts (50 yards)… and once we had curated…

A Company of Strangers
It’s been almost a year since I began this blog during my residency at Courtyard Arts in Hertford, and because I’m about to do another exhibition there I thought I’d join the two points together with an interim post. It will be a bit of an update on what I’ve been doing during this post-university…

Day 20: 21st August 2022
The De-install Day I met Barbara at the gallery at 10; Frances Wilson and her neighbour Griff (who had expressed an interest in taking a taproot) were already there. Griff picked his taproot and I walked the 50 yards to his house to inspect where it would go, and measure up. Frances also decided to…

Day 19: 20th August 2022
As you know, today I spent a couple of hours writing yesterday’s blog. Then my old (young) friends Chloe and Juliette and their parents arrived to see the finished installation, and we all chatted while the girls did the Strange Beings Treasure hunt. I forgot to mention that yesterday I managed to find a loving…

Day 18: 19th August 2022
It’s actually the 20th and I’m sitting outside the gallery in the morning sun and writing this on my iPad. Last night was a late finish and I went straight to bed. The 19th was the private view, the culmination of my month here at Courtyard – although ‘culmination’ (in the sense that it was…

Day 17: 18th August 2022
This morning was spent bringing the outdoor tendrils back outside to their rightful place, and fixing them to walls and windows. I added one more tendril which is disappearing into an airbrick – who knows where it will end up. Each outdoor tendril meets its equivalent on the inside (Inneys and Outeys for those who…

Day 16: 17th August 2022
Today was characterised by a dramatic thunder storm overhead with a torrential downpour, which produced a sort of weird, damp, indoor apathy in me. The outdoor tentacles which I had been strengthening and attaching to the walls/windows had to be brought inside pronto, and their joins kept collapsing soggily. Everything was floppy, including me. Ben…
