Went to see the show at artstation, some interesting work and William Cobbing’s performance was very sweet, especially when working with the small children. A week of working on a new body of work – reflecting and building on earlier crystallography pieces the prints were generated using lazer cut paper and card. They started out as angular tessellations but were then manipulated to create a softer feel with curved edges. Although part of a series each piece is unique. The next stage will be to introduce some structure through folding, although some work as prints in themselves. I have a flag in the show at east coast pavilion at Lowestoft. Onto screens – want to feel like you have been blasted watch Nope, what did I just watch? - truly extraordinary. Top Gun Maverick does what it says on the tin if it had a tin.

working on some articulated structures – I’ve been focusing on structure, but visual motifs could also be a potential way to explore and construct connections. The circles are completed when the structures are in a particular place, the various articulated panels must be manipulated into specific positions. Onto screens – The Premise – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10731840/ a truly mind-blowing series full of excellent ideas. The Butt Plug episode is a wild ride. Finally finished Better Call Saul, the sad and wistful ending was truly tragic as many individuals from the past returned to give or enable testimony, joining dots and crossing t's.

I’ve been working on some drawings of my hand with tattoos – not sure what they are leading to but if anything, it’s an excuse to get some drawing practice whilst sitting in the garden. onto screens – 2/1, an interesting premise, beautifully filmed, both strange, and awkward with a nice twist or extension in the last frames. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3842684/ Prey, a kind of origin story to Predator was beautifully shot with some good action scenes. Brian and Charles is bizarrely awesome, Wedding Season was full of stuff that we have already seen but not a crime scene. Along for the ride was longingly wistful. Not my thing but well-conceived with great special effects the pilot of Sandman was well conceived but won’t be followed up. Season 3 episode 4 of Atlanta, The Big Payback is fairly mind blowing. A huge recommendation. The Rehearsal by Nathan Fielder is truly mind bending, although the premise of rehearsing important things in our life is taken to an extreme you start to think about how you move through life. Two series that I am dipping into - Girlboss and Great News both fairly tight writing with some comic relief.

Great to see the frames from the Jubilant! Project displayed at the Primadonna festival over the weekend. While there I was taken with Jordan Stephens’s left of field call for men to address their own pain as a way of supporting women. Looking forward to reading Unwell women by Elinor Cleghorn, especially the cultural politics around access and understanding. I have updated my website to include two projects – Jubilant! and the bookartbookshop show https://lesbicknell.wixsite.com/work/now  onto screens - Too Old for Fairy Tales – sweet coming of age story with a twist story. Purple Hearts – sweet love story with a twist. Honor Society – sweet high school story with a twist. Persuasion - sweet historical drama with a twist - the screen lights up when Richard E Grant is on it, if only he was there more
