101 artists. One exhibition. It's going to be rather magnificent. Come if you are able. #Newcastle September 4th to 18th at @theholybiscuit which is opposite the Biscuit Factory in #shieldfield This is part of the @headsandtales_heritage project creating an archive of #mentalhealth voices in #NEEngland through all kinds of #creative means. It's also doubling as the annual exhibition for @chillistudios which is an amazing creative space in #newcastleupontyne for anyone with mental health difficulties. Due to all my arting happening so recently it's all too late for the exhibition - if only Lucy had been prepared to lend her notebook or I'd thought of printing the best of my photos or her art. But if you see me there or at the opening event on the 3rd say hello. #art #artexhibition #artbyall #artforall #mentalillness #mentalhealthawarness #endthestigma #artliberation #madpride #headntales #artandliberation #liberation #excellence #events #newcastlelife #bestplacestogo #chillistudios #hlf (at The Holy Biscuit)

I am a fine art photographer who specialises in contemporary narrative documentary. I am currently based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne but am originally from the South East of England. I consider my creative praxis to be a critical reflection upon the human condition and what it is that makes mankind unique. My practice exclusively engages photography to explicate socio-cultural, psychological and perceptual conjecture within the western context of post-modernist discourse. Conversely, whilst these themes, I acknowledge, are better served by the causal relationship between photography and the perceived reality of our human existence, my intention is to examine the truth-value of the medium in our post-modern, post-truth, information saturated age and whether the medium can be used to subvert its own authority within the context of society's continuing confidence in photography's ability to represent the factual.

5th Year Architecture Exhibition

I was informed at the beginning of the week about a 5th year exhibition that was to take place all this week and comprised of a year group project that proposed a 30 year urban development scheme for a nearby suburb of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Shieldfield. The proposal included many interesting insights and possibilities that were all recorded down into a commercially printed book that is available apparently for £76.18, this high price is due to its uniqueness and I must say it did look like a rather well put together book. The 5th year tasked with the book advised me that they used a site called blurb.com which allows you to create a book from scratch and have it properly printed with as many or few copies made as you wish. 

The exhibition also featured an individual sculpture display by each of the students where they were tasked with creating pieces that would aid the urban development of the local area. below are some examples of the works, like all these kinds of works they make more sense when explained properly however at least you can get a feel for the works.

Special thanks to 2010/2011 Northumbria University 5th Year Masters Architecture students for the images of their work.
