What an amazing time at these too wonderful art schools. I’ve been totally blown away by the level of talent and depth of thinking. Thank you so much to all who let me be a tiny part of your art adventure. I leant so much from you all. Happy creating.

Finishing off these #screenprints for automaton 2. All about human connection and printed in charcoal to recognise the carbon in us all. #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #printmakingart #screenprint #rcaprint

Well lovely people who watch my reels. It’s been a busy two weeks starting to get my new works ready for the final @rcaprint show in June. These are just some of the parts needed to be made before full construction can begin. Still lots more to do, but it’s a start at least. Two more wall automation hopefully coming soon! @rcaprint @societyofdesignercraftsmen_sdc #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #printmakingart #rcaprint #

This is the start of a new work around pejorative words used to describe women. Words that put us down or in our place, sexualise us or make comment about our weight and looks. I’ve collected around 430 words so far that I’ve popped into categories where we are compared to animals, that are appearance based, age related, role related, sexually based etc. if you think you have experienced some of these words and have some unusual ones to offer please comment below and I’ll add them into the final piece @rcaprint Please forward to your girlfriends. The more words I have the more impactful the work will be in June. Watch this space!

Still experimenting on the side when I can, alongside making more #automaton. Enjoying laser cutting and #laserengraving. Helping me to problem solve and quickly develop thinking. #femaleagency

New experiments for automata 2. All about motherhood and multiplicity. Wanted my ‘networked’ and ‘connectivity’ children to be made of human stuff. Couldn’t used oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen so plumped for carbon. Initial screenprints didn’t work (see first 3 images) but I gradually figured it out. More to come in this series of twelve. #printmakersofinstagram #screnprinting #printmakingart #printmaking

Taken all the madness that was in my head and plastered it all over my @rcaprint wall space. Now I can’t look up as it reminds me the madness needs some clarification. Prompts or distraction? Help or hindrance? Your thoughts? #workingthroughit #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram

I’m delighted that my piece You Don’t Own Me has been accepted and will be on display at the RCA InVisible #exhibition curated by the amazing @sam_joseph02.

Our PV is sold out, but we are open Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th from 10-4 in the Hockney Gallery, RCA Kensington. #genderbasedviolence @rcaprint @rca

Hi. I’m exhibiting my woodcut prints at Bankside Gallery (next to Tate Modern) next week with the Society of Designer Craftsmen. This society was originally founded as The Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society by Walter Crane and William Morris in 1887 but underwent a name change in the 50s. I am one of their printmaking members. The PV is Tuesday 19th 6.30-8.30 and free tickets should be available on Event Brite. Address is 48 Hopton Street, London SE1 9JB. #londonexhibitions #printmaking #fineartprints
