A flurry, a haze
29 x 30cm
Oil and studio floor debris on board
The second painting that I knew instantly was going in my degree show. This is the painting that opened my eyes to a new outlook. My work is so heavily reliant on intuition that I would dismiss the control, concept and process that I always have whilst I paint. For this piece I took everything I had collected, such as imagery and application to bring together an object, a thing, a place. This piece happened in one sitting, a thoughtful and productive session which opened up a new avenue to explore.
A flurry, a haze. That’s what it was in the studio and what it is now.

![Though the Smithsonian’s first secretary, Joseph Henry, wanted the institution to be a center for scientific research,[27] it also became the depository for various Washington and U.S. government collections.[28] The United States Exploring Expedition by the U.S. Navy circumnavigated the globe between 1838 and 1842.[29] The voyage amassed thousands of animal specimens, an herbarium of 50,000 plant specimens, and diverse shells and minerals, tropical birds, jars of seawater, and ethnographic artifacts from the South Pacific Ocean.[29] These specimens and artifacts became part of the Smithsonian collections,[30] as did those collected by several military and civilian surveys of the American West, including the Mexican Boundary Survey and Pacific Railroad Surveys, which assembled many Native American artifacts and natural history specimens.[31]
In 1846, the regents developed a plan for weather observation; in 1847, money was appropriated for meteorological research.[32] The institution became a magnet for young scientists from 1857 to 1866, who formed a group called the Megatherium Club.[33] The Smithsonian played a critical role as the US partner institution in early bilateral scientific exchanges with the Academy of Sciences of Cuba.[34]](https://scontent-sjc3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/856155515_17939019999388942_7600073556756732212_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_s640x640_tt6&_nc_cat=1&ig_cache_key=NDAxMDcxMzM0OTM5NDQ0NjM1MA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNBUk9VU0VMX0lURU0ueHBpZHMuNzY5LnNkci5yZWd1bGFyX3Bob3RvLkMzIn0%3D&_nc_ohc=VBlOf5Vo-jQQ7kNvwGO0xew&_nc_oc=Adryp9uU5DtsUmAH6K3j-izFHsDFgpVV_i1Bm3qoSS8wjpmpY1XEidg4JoZoKYxPM7qHYleGruVOdmdkt-PNxakY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=wEcKQGbvU9ScnhWIAZ5Bpg&_nc_ss=70180&oh=00_AQT87A9jWQR1LYAVENazp0mPcwzyCYWp05Sqsn0awVeRKQ&oe=6AF16D17)
