A selection of my photos are now on display at Retro, 55 North Street, Bedminster from 3rd - 31st Jan 09. These show views from various bits of Bristol from various angles. I just walk about
with a camera on my days off work - these photos represent those journeys around and about the local environment. Go take a look, I hope you enjoy them! More of my images can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ciderfrenzy/

Just me (exhibition of work by Kirsten Powell at Bristol YHA)

Silent flowers

29th October to 28th November 2008.
This exhbition will explore the diversity of my work, with the intention of creating a solo show that looks like a group show.

Through my art work I investigate, and experiment with, the written form of the English language. I am interested in the way that text can convey meaning, language as memory, the use of language to document and what happens when language becomes redundant.

My experiments and investigations take on many forms including photography, installation and painting.

Blogs and member news

Blogs in Plain English

Here’s a post for all of those who are not familiar with blogs (short for web logs) or “just don't get them”. Some of you will know about these already, but for those who don’t, this is for you. I'm posting this as a member news post and member blogs post as it applies to both of them.

Before you ignore this altogether, or decide that these things aren’t for you, please have a look at this excellent video on the Common Craft website by Lee LeFever, who explains Blogs in Plain English (it's also available on YouTube).
