At the start of the year, I wanted to widen my boundaries within my art practice. Being known initially as a "painter",  I wanted to use this year to concentrate on exploring other mediums of art such as photography, ceramics and film based media as well as spending time  getting to know the technicians and tutors.

I learnt many new skills previously undiscovered  such as learning how to use a  SLR digital camera and the important practice of working collaboratively within a group with other artists. I discovered that working collaboratively allowed boundaries to be pushed as ideas were being bounded from artist to artist. Using other mediums allowed me to discover my strengths and weaknesses.I discovered I enjoyed thinking conceptually and I found I learnt a lot about how I work as an artist practitioner.

I loved being given the freedom to use whatever medium that was there to use. I used the various workshops that we had access to, and they were greatly appreciated.I discovered  as I could  better my work by using all the different mediums and techniques.
