@_barbatulus sadly so

I am that friend. This is my cheese.

The end of a very long road: yesterday I successfully defended my PhD thesis 🥳🎉🍾 I am so grateful to my examiners and to the many people who helped me get here, most of all my incredible supervisors. I share my acknowledgements as it truly was a team effort ❤️

@traceya_davison Thank you!!

@milliehi1 Good luck, I'm sure you will sail through it

Less than a week until the viva and I am feeling very grateful for: A3 paper, the Senate House Library’s late opening hours, and Taylor Swift’s absurdly long new album 🫠📚

@corachalaby @ArchivesAmerArt !!!

Delighted that my article “Just Look at Me Now: Alma Thomas’s Intermediality” has been accepted and is due for publication in the Fall 2025 issue of the @ArchivesAmerArt Journal. My article explores dialogues between textiles and painting in Thomas’s work and self-fashioning

I'm kicking off this panel bright and early at AAH on Thursday! Come along at 10:40am to hear me talking about 'The Mediation of Early Medieval Textiles' and the Nazi's Ahnenerbe Project in Bayeux

What: FREE fast-track Art History Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) & A level courses Who: State supported sixth form students When: Saturday morning/afternoon during term-time in the 2022-23 academic year APPLY: shorturl.at/jA359 (Deadline:23/9/23) (Term starts 30/9/23)

Does anyone have a copy of a Getty Library Grant application that they would be happy to share with me? Or any advice on the application process? Hoping to plan a research trip for next spring to work on my final PhD Chapter on Joan Mitchell and any advice much appreciated!

Turns out there's these things called Sand Spheres for zen gardens, sensory kind of things. Anyone tried this with a Neolithic carved stone ball?? And yes, I'm serious. Alt-text: a series of textured balls which leave intricate patterns when rolled in sand. #Archaeology

BREAKING NEWS: A mother who was sentenced to 28 months for illegally ending their pregnancy is to be released from prison. We echo the judges’ statements that this is a case that calls for compassion, not punishment, and are delighted with this decision. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

If a full day of textiles at @IMC_Leeds wasn't exciting enough, @thenameoftheroz, Jess Bailey and I have organised two panels on the theme of 'Making as Method' tomorrow afternoon!

So SO excited by this wealth of papers on early medieval textiles! And very grateful to be included in such a stellar line-up. If you're at @IMC_Leeds pls come join!

Late to tweet but a fabulous time in ISSEME last week, where I was lucky enough to present a paper on framing devices in early medieval textiles. Now onto @IMC_Leeds ! :)

My turn to jump on the @IMC_Leeds bandwagon. This year, @traceya_davison & I have gathered so many textile peeps that we’re taking over Wednesday. Exciting times!😃Come, join us in Clarendon Building 1.03 & immerse yourself in the wonders of early medieval textiles

Amazing to attend the @BPAS1968 and @fawcettsociety march to decriminalise abortion yesterday afternoon. Not too late to write to you local MP asking for change - #take-action-now" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bpas-campaigns.org/campaigns/time…
