Lovely day at Chatsworth celebrating the coronation. The iconic tromp l’oeil violin attributed to Jan van der Vaart inspired a love of still life which influences my practice. The Mirror Mirror exhibition includes a Joseph Walsh Enigma Bed which appears darkly magical.
Had an enjoyable and interesting day at the State of photography IV conference today. Thanks to all the speakers and organisers @grainphotohub#stateofphoto
@SarahVaci@RAPadmos I couldn’t agree more, stereotypes are pernicious to both males and females but femininity is an unachievable male preserve. Normal, everyday, run of the mill girlhood and womanhood is seen as not good enough.

Just finished Victoria Smith’s fantastic book, Hags, @glosswitch going to uni in my ‘autumn years’ I was very aware of the generational disassociation and it’s a constant inspiration for my art. #InternationalWomenDay#art#Feminism

I was so pleased & proud my A-level history teacher Mr King (he’ll never have a first name to me) came to hear me give a talk last night. To my hardworking inspiring history-teacher followers: please do remember that some of your pupils will be hugely grateful in later life!
