About

I’m currently in my 3rd year studying Fine Art at Aberystwyth University! It’s going really good, and I’m now starting to think about my final exhibition which shows next May.  My chosen module for this year is Contemporary, Concepts and Practices, for which I intend to create an Installation piece based on Staircases, my memories attached to staircases, other people’s memories and so on, attaching my memories to architecture.  

Also, i feel this piece is about space, the seen and the not seen. I’ve recently been reading a book by Gaston Bachelard called ‘The Poetics Of Space’ and have found it extremely useful and interesting. It focuses on how we experience intimate places in the home, how anything can take on an enchanted significance. It’s helped me think about things differently, not just the structure of the staircase but the space around it, the past and future, imagination and loneliness of it.  

I set up a Facebook group to let people know what I was doing, but have found that after a short space of time, that becomes quite stagnant. I’m hoping this will be ongoing, and will serve as an excellent way of showing my tutors that I am consistently working on my project and also serve as a brilliant form of online diary.
