controldocuments

SZC work continues, the ideas continue to flow alongside the conversations. It’s been an excellent week all round - We have got R&D money for the bench project at Kings with the possibility to extend it in so many ways, this is really exciting as I get to work with a wonderous group of people. I’ve been offered a show at imprints in Crest, France and I’ve been making more work around the theme of data, the show will be called control documents. Sarah B at Bristol has invited me to show work in an exhibition in Japan, the 3D printed work was chosen, and I think it will look good and hopefully go down well. I have been awarded research money to work on the project exploring Catenary. On Thursday I got to see some of the Norwich pattern books with Ruth Battersby-Tooke, the Senior Curator of Costume and Textiles at Norfolk Museums Service at the Bridewell in Norwich. It was, as ever a real pleasure to be in the presence of such extraordinary objects in the fantastically knowledgeable hands of Ruth. The books give a hint at what the past might have looked like in a similar way that the textile ‘swatches’ held by The Foundling Museum in London. Onto screens – almost finished White Lotus, the whole experience is just distasteful! Started Zero Day, unsure where its going to go yet. Life List was difficult to watch through the tears!

almost hanging some work in the Leiston office of Sizewell C – the text that accompanies the work. Artist in residence at Sizewell C. I am an artist based in East Suffolk. I am currently working as artist in Residence at Sizewell. This role was developed by First Light Festival and Sizewell C. As an artist in residence, I am an onlooker, a mirror and a maker, like everyone else in East Suffolk, I am watching the development of the biggest construction site in Europe. We are living through, observing and taking part in change. We watch, we adjust, we question, we wonder; and I am making art. Art is a powerful connector—whether you're creating it or taking part in it, it has the ability to bring together communities and workers. These pieces are my response to the roles of the Sizewell C workforce and my reflections on the changes we are experiencing. This is part of a rolling program. Art works will be shown within the Sizewell’s workplaces and within the wider environment over the next twelve months.
