  • Its really good to find tutors working in more than one of our OCA subject areas as I’m considering doing that myself in my final year (I mean at level 3/6) ..also in printmaking and photography.

  • I also found this video very interesting, and particularly liked the cross-discipline aspects of Katrina’s work.

    • Thank you both for your comments. Working in more than one area can sometimes help you to think outside the box and get out of your comfort zone.

  • I couldn’t make out whether the feathers were photographed or etched. Maybe they were a mixture of the two. Some close ups would have been good. I can relate to the excitement of waiting for photographs to be developed and how that is now lost. I suppose the upside is that our attics are now less cluttered!

    • Hi Olivia,
      Well observed! The feathers in this instance are hand drawn and etched, although I have also done a lot of work with photographic etchings.
