I was very very lucky this year to get to do some interactive work with an incredible dance company, IJAD dance. The project was to be observing and responding to an inside look at one of their performances, which fused social media with arabic dance and examined the idea of a work having an infinite […]

This little post will be my 100th post on MakingtheMarrow.com! This blog started as an experiment while going through a bit of a tricky situation in life, and it’s now become a project that I enjoy so much. I was recently asked what my blog was about and when I responded “London, Theatre Reviews, Sketches, […]
As part of the Embedded Journalism project with IJAD dance (which you can read about here), I sat in on a rehearsal for the piece on Wednesday morning. I went to observe and see what I could expect in the final piece, but also to do some sketching so as to understand the direction of […]

Did a little light sketching this evening, without hope or agenda, and just sat down to see what happened. Played around a bit with putting watercolour down and then sketching loosely on top of it, and also had a look at hand drawing some typeface. What I ended up with were a series of little […]
A few pencil, watercolour, and ink sketches of me holding a cut orange. Still going through a bit of a fruit phrase I think!!
After an incredibly hot wander around the old town of Muscat in the searing 40 degree heat, here are a few water colour and ink sketches of what I saw today.
One of the best shows I’ve seen in London, hands down. The show is a collective of various artists using light as a medium for their work. Works include neons, dancing LED lights, playing with shadows, and exploring optical illusions. You can’t take any pictures in there (and rightly so, as you really don’t want […]
