Material Echoes Study for Jump , 1998 This study was part of a set that were fore runners to Jum p, a light box installation submitted as part of my A'level assessment in 1999. Light sketch, November 2013 The set of sketches that this was part of didn't really result in anything at the time however, they did get me through a difficult patch in the first year of my MA. Some days materials seem to resonate. To echo through the process of making work, through the trial and error of art making. This week it is lighting gel. I'm still using pieces from a batch that has been in my possession since 1997. The current shape is an experimentation that may or may not prove to be useful. Whatever happens with it, once again it is helping me think through making.
I am an artist living in North Cumbria working in predominantly installation-based video and sound, and specialise in the use of alternative spaces for exhibiting. I am currently studying part-time for a PhD by Art Practice at the University of Cumbria.
