I’m fully aware you are not supposed to take photos in exhibitions such as Robert Rauschenberg at the Tate Modern but it’s far too tempting not to. Potentially the best exhibition I’ve been to this year, aside from Magritte at the Pompidou Centre, Paris. I’ve always liked the work of Rauschenberg but I don’t think … Continue reading
Is It Even Worse in Europe?
I’ve been interested in the Guerrilla Girls since last year when I was looking at their work for inspiration for my own art practice. Their exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery was essential viewing for me as I have centred a large proportion of my third year dissertation around their plight. I was surprised by the … Continue reading
Butternut Squash Bake
When I’m home from Uni for the holidays the thing I want to do straightaway is cook in our kitchen. It’s clean and light, unlike my student kitchen, and makes me so happy. Second night at home I made this butternut squash, tomato, and broccoli bake, topped with mozzarella and breadcrumbs. Add a little vegetable … Continue reading

Newcastle Eats
I’ve been so busy back at uni for third year that I’ve got little time for anything but art and food. Even food has been put on the back burner. Not literally. The first week I was living off Itsu pot noodles. Second week I branched out to red lentil pasta and homemade pesto. Third … Continue reading
Back to the studio
Channelling my inner Jemima Kirke at the moment, though fully clothed disappointingly. The ultimate dream walking around in Mimi Holliday undies slapping thick paint on a canvas. But I’m not a painter as such anymore and I certainly don’t own anything as sass as Mimi Holliday lingerie. Instead this is me documenting my work this … Continue reading
