Behind The Scenes Process
Clay
I really enjoy working with clay, sadly I haven’t had a good play with it for some time so these images are of much older moments but I hope to find my way back to working with it and creating sculptures small and large. There is something really earthy and grounding about this medium, it…

Following On With Bones
Body and bones, tonight it is the skull of an animal. Exploring tone with the For Enjoyment CIC group. Much gratitude, very helpful putting together the learning from the last few workshops into this one and applying shading. Exploring the building blocks of the body is certainly a fascinating journey, I can see why so…

Cyanotype
Ok so I introduced the use of Cyanotype in my last journal blog, for those whom are not familiar Cyanotype is a photography printing process created by mixing two chemicals (ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide) using specialised paper. It can be used more widely than the special, artistic way of developing photo negatives. When…

Who Are We?
So over the next while I’m going to explore creative ways of exploring this question more deeply and widely. I will be doing this in amongst my usual sharing of learning new art skills and playing around with some known bug less explored ones. I have a specific set of journal prompts for the opportunity…

Back To Basics
A session with For Enjoyment CIC learning the basics of drawing this eve moving from light shapes building up into darker images. They are meant to be basic as the focus was the process of building a picture using blocks (shapes). Believe it or not I was never taught this and I can see how…

Watercolour Play
So I decided to experiment more with watercolour on thicker Derwent paper after a wonderful gift from a friend. As said previously this hasn’t been my forte or skilled approach however it is fast growing on me especially in a mixed media way. Here are just a couple of recent examples.

Entopic Graphomania
I’m not feeling my strongest connection with this style for now but there is a seed beginning to grow. Not my best skill but with time it may form. For now unknown but it was certainly fun taking part in the For Enjoyment Workshop and learning something entirely new. A surrealist art form but very…

A Little More Alcohol Ink, Gold Leaf Mixed Media And Bister Ink
A brief play just experimenting with no goal in mind. It started wonderful somehow I had a dripping iris and eye, it was somehow neat (comfort zone) then it turned a little grunge. Was not comfortable in the slightest thought I was going to discard of it as a complete write off. I pushed through…

Bister Ink Play
Having no idea what this ink was or what it was used for I’ve just been experimenting with different applications. Got some inspiration from a piece of art I found on Pinterest. I’m fascinated by the shadow, the other side of what we do not see or catch moments of reflections in. Not sure why…

Frottage
A wonderful session with the For Enjoyment Group CIC learning Frottage. Never tried this before but how fascinating and amazing opportunities to continue to experiment with. Many mediums many differing backgrounds. So far pastel is my favourite. More experimenting afoot!! Nature is such a beautiful experience as is art from nature. Some worked some failed…

What Is It That Exists?
©️ User 326726150 · Poem - Inadvertent Incognita ©️ This poem was inspired by an interpersonal exchange this week. Inadvertent Incognita When you think, feel and know that you lived, there’s a story of what happened but nothing to prove that it did. Nothing of substance than can be touched to say for sure ‘yes’,…

Poem~ The Passing Of The Lost Lands
~ by Stacie Amelia ~ An abyss falls within, an unwelcome weight, pulling down into darkness where the other lost wait. Each soul is crying in heaviness of grief, (There is hope though for that pain to fall away ...like a leaf) It takes time for each soul to find their own special way out,…

In Search Of Meaning (ii)
Why here? Why now? Why at all? This blog post is more on a personal note than the others. It is more a pulling together of everything to date so I can consciously move forward into a fuller focus and commitment to this work. I hope naturally though that the posts that follow are more…

In Search of Meaning (i)
It has been an arduous task trying to define most precisely what I have been aiming towards with this work. I have spent many months in a sort of hibernation, tossing and turning towards understanding my real intention here. This is it. Fundamentally I am searching to understand how each of us make meaning of…
