Another patch for the quilt. Micro-aggressions are butts! #bafineart #brightonuni #BLM #embroiderersofinstagram #embroidery #quilting #stitchersofinstagram #stitchesagainststigma https://www.instagram.com/p/CXTMZBBt7sn/?utm_medium=tumblr

No art, only essay. Okay maybe one art - tried to embroider the skeleton of a leaf. Need more stabiliser. No tags. Am tired. Okay maybe a couple. #embroidery #artstudent #bafineart #brightonuni #needmorewine #needlework https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8YWDjn_th/?igshid=1gdo9d82r2u3u

We’ve been having fun playing with wire at uni and continuing at home. #wire #art #fineart #bafineart #artexperiments #experiments #playfulart #play #universityofderby #universityofderbyfineart @derbyuni @uni_derby_fine_art @fine_art_derby_uni_year_1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBINVqFISc/?igshid=3z1qzaim3o23

On the back of an envelope - one of my line drawings with colour added - inspired by the work of Michael Craig Martin. #linedrawing #drawing #bafineart #universityofderby #michaelcraigmartin #colour https://www.instagram.com/p/CGrZXw2gOZQ/?igshid=1j1mwd8u62o7f

I’m happy that we are playing and experimenting using limited materials and responding to our immediate environment for our first module at uni @fine_art_derby_uni_year_1 @uni_derby_fine_art One of the most important things that I learnt on the foundation course @strodecollegeart was to keep playing and experimenting and ideas will come and happy accidents happen. Using paper, charcoal, oil pastel, watercolour and light plus a couple of objects from my home (ivy and an insole). #bafineart #artfoundation #strodefad #universityofderby #universityofderbyfineart #paper #charcoalrubbings #oilpastel #watercolour https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNW-k1FBG-/?igshid=14aznvy2zpsk7

These photos are of the work of Ed Burke’s Derby in Bloom exhibition at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. It was great to be out seeing some art again and what a way to start with his large vibrant oil paintings with roots in the Derbyshire tradition of well dressing. It’s been fantastic to start at the University of Derby this week to start my BA Fine Art journey. Although of course most is online at the moment I’m already feeling more inspired again and today really enjoyed the first time meeting the others in person and getting out to see some art in real life again! @fine_art_derby_uni_year_1 @uni_derby_fine_art @edburkes @derbymuseums #inspirationalart #oilpaintings #derbymuseumandartgallery #universityofderby #bafineart #edburkes #artgallery #feelinginspired #welldressings https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkr8zdlc-v/?igshid=crrl5jnle7lc
