Exploration
This is my playground. An open space for ideas before they become bigger projects, or exercises to scratch a creative itch, or just fail.
I’ve recently felt my practice had been neglected due to lack of big projects. But I’m always making and this is a place I can share that side of my work.
Previously I have been conflicted about sharing unfinished work. Like it needs to be polished or kept under wraps for a big reveal. Truth is I’ve never been satisfied by showing off my work so I’d rather just get it out there...
Generators
Play to experiment with the concept of using p5.js to create generative artwork.
A series of sketches to develop skills towards discovering alternative tools for creation.
Cutting It
A series of typographic and icon based paper cut sketches, created during January 2022
Klondykers
A project to explore memories of the Klondykers in Shetland - large Russian and Eastern European fish factory vessels.
The aim is to take the theme as a starting point to research before creating a small body of experimental work.
Inktober
From 2017 - 2020 I took part in Inktober to refresh my approach to sketching and making small works. I used the official prompts to explore ideas that often feed back into my wider practice.
Since 2021 I have been unable to commit time to the Inktober challenge, but have taken my approach to Inktober into other winter based projects.
