Ok its been a while since the last post. Life just gets in the way!
Another school year has started. My final year of studying to complete my BA (Hons) in Art. It's been a roller coaster, but even the bad hair tearing out days have pushed me further as an artist than I ever expected. The rapid development and improvement of work that can be achieved from simply having the time to focus solely on your art for an extended period of time, is clear for all to see. Whether degrees have become somewhat obsolete in the modern job market or not, it was for me time well spent. I will be feeling devastated come next May when I have to say good bye to my tutors, my friends and the massive painting studios and gallery spaces with views of Edinburgh Castle.
Starting off this university year deep in research. Looking at other contemporary artists who also explore the relationships between humans and animals through their art. It is an interesting way to start a project. Information overload...
Here are some new photographs. This poor pigeon was sadly involved in a game of chicken with our car which he didn't win. My partner felt guilty for days.... Reactions to the body are mixed. Disgust because of pigeon's reputations as diseased pests, but also admiration at how beautiful the plumage is upon closer inspection. Mr Pigeon now rests in our garden with the Kestrel.
