Exciting!!!!

Today has been a day for good news!!! I got my results and have managed a 2:1 for my degree which I am very very pleased with! Dave got a first so we were able to have a celebratory drink together at lunch time.
I have also had an email from Blank Media Collective, who saw my work at the degree show and have recommended I put a profile and portfolio on their website, where I have the opportunity to be considered for exhibitions, print sales and publication in their magazine. All great opportunities that I am very keen on involving myself in!

I've also been very busy applying for jobs and contacting galleries for possible solo or group exhibitions, so it's all go! Just waiting to hear back...!

Fingers crossed!

leftovers wednesday...




A bit more junk food....
Leftovers from Monday and Tuesday have been turned into golden, crunchy, cheese and spring onion croquettes. Probably not the healthiest choice but it's results day tomorrow and we're feeling a bit nervous!

summer strawberries




Tuesday 22nd


Unfortunately a bit of an uninspiring one to start on, it's hard to make cheesy potato skins look attractive and un-junky! But it's a start...!

a photo a day keeps....boredom at bay?

So, now that uni projects are coming to an end (or at least slowing down), I need something to keep me motivated and photographing so I'm going for the old classic "photo a day" style project. As I now have a lot of time on my hands and have always been a keen cook, I have plenty of time to try making all the things I don't usually have time for! It only seems sensible to let my two passions feed each other and try and photograph everything I cook. This isn't strictly regulated, I'm sure I will forget to photograph or I will miss days, but I hope I will at least get some good pictures out of it all and certainly some yummy foods!

So, keep an eye out for daily food posts, along with the usual bits and bobs!

21.06.10



It's all finally coming to an end! The show is taken down on Thursday, results are given out and we all say our goodbyes!

Here are a few pictures I took of my work today whilst invigilating the exhibition. I chose to present my books on a plinth next to my work to make it flow a bit better and make it all more coherent....also to free up a bit of room on the slightly over-crowded portfolio table!

Prints are still on sale at the show if anyone still wants to buy!

Hopefully lots of people will turn up and enjoy the work and help celebrate
three years of hard work!

Please come along for drinks, art and a big celebration!

New


My new website is up and running:

www.kittymatildadunne.dphoto.com

Enjoy!

MediaCityUK













Yesterday was spent photographing the site of the new MediaCityUK
BBC North at Salford Quays.

A documentary of the building site; the life and the progress.

Finally....







Slowly but surely (with a few mis-haps on the way and with a LOT of help from my friends), my work is finally up!

I am so so pleased with the way it looks; soft and delicate, intriguing. People have been walking in and around the hanging images, which is the aim of the work, for it to have an interactive element to it, for people to immerse and surround themselves with the images, hopefully reliving their own memories and having their own little moment of nostalgia.

Thankyou to Charlotte and Zara...this would not have gone up without your long limbs and wonderful curatorial eye!
