Photographs of Glossop from the 1920s and 1930s.

La Pedrera.

Casa Batlló.

Barcelona.

A week ago I went to Barcelona for a few days to stay with a friend. It was beautiful and the architecture is amazingly impressive.

Sky and Sea.

For an upcoming exhibition at Cavendish Bar in Manchester, as part of Creative Transit, I took some photos for part of my work. The photos I took were of the sea and sky, and were for the background of my paper cut-outs I would be exhibiting in small frames. I think the white paper would look great against a sky blue and the colour would seem reminiscent of past holidays and sunny days, tying in with the theme of tourist maps and souvenirs.

Arnaldo Pomodoro in Dublin.

In April I went on a short trip to Dublin. Whilst there we stumbled across a sculpture within the Trinity College campus. It was by Arnaldo Pomodoro, an Italian sculptor whose work I also saw at last year's Sotheby's exhibition at Chatsworth House. The sculpture at Trinity was one of many 'Sphere Within Sphere' sculptures which are dotted around the globe. Unlike 'Cubo I' at Chatsworth', 'Sphere Within Sphere' is a kinetic sculpture, designed like this possibly because of it's spherical shape, which is easier to move than solid cuboid shapes.

Edinburgh and Intermedia.

Interactive Arts is a unique course and with this in mind, Brigid Smart (a fellow I. Arts student) arranged a trip to Edinburgh to meet a similar course: Intermedia from Edinburgh Art College. Like Interactive Arts, Intermedia is also a very unique and so a small group of Interactive Arts students travelled up to Edinburgh to network with the students studying there from Tuesday 5th April to Friday 8th April. Unfortunately due to looming deadlines the Intermedia students had, we didn't get a chance to work on any projects that week. However, we met everyone on the Intermedia course, got a tour of their studios and college, had a few meet and greet sessions, we attended a degree fundraiser with them and got to plan for when we will hopefully collaborate; when Intermedia visits Manchester in May.

And with flash.
