'Solid Water'

Collage on A1 Foam Board

From playing around with collage and drawing in a more conventional way, I now want to create abstract drawings from the selected images, instead of creating abstract images that are still quite recogniseable.

I also wanted to achieve a more delicate outcome that is still quite modern and clean.

'Cutting the Colour'

Collage on Foam Board

I really like this longer shape, rather than the A1 Foam board piece.

It gives the piece a much nicer composition.

From feedback given to me from my mid-term assessments I am also trying to play around with the sizes of my work.

For example, these drawings I see getting much larger and being inspiration for a huge painting.

I am also working on some tiny collages on passport photos to completely contrast to this. Considering the ways in which an artwork can be hugely domineering or incredibly intimate.

Small collage experiments for larger collages.

Kandinsky-esc collages.

Panic! ... about the dissertation

Dissertation over... !!

And on with the part everybody loves... the art work.

'Panic! 2'

Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Because of the restrictions on the sizes of the ppsheet I have been using, I am starting to explore other materials and other sizes. Starting with the obvious (canvas) to view my work on a larger scale.

the incredibly small tennis racket...

Birthday card for a Tennis fan.

She would have perhaps preferred Nadal on the front, however... I had 1 hour to make it so this is the best I could come up with on such short notice...

which may explain the small tennis racket lol!

Photos of my work for my Mid-Term Assessments/Exhibition

The transparencies of the materials I am using at presentis a great factor to my practice, generating a variety of viewpoints within the paintings and allowing for more exciting alternatives to how I may hang or display my work.

The decisions in how to display my ‘paintings’ also allows the viewer to consider the ‘paintings’ as sculpture or installation, giving further depth to the work. It is this desire to create a link between the different practices within art that allows me to incorporate a variety of processes and materials within my work. I am currently, for example,experimenting with collage, photography, painting and drawing to help to devise imagery that can be viewed as painting and installation. 

I love the outcome of my work at present, however if I could change anything I would try to open up the space further so that there is more than one 'front' to the work.

At the moment, I am experimenting with a larger variety of materials, such as slate, tracing paper (streched as a canvas) and canvas (to explore larger sizes to my work) to come up with something even more exciting.

(Or i would be.... after I have handed in my dissertation and celebrated doing so!)

Expensive Restaurants and Gorgeous Shoes...

... is what sprung from the makings of this Birthday Card for my Mum.

My attempts to save money... doesn't help when Kurt Gieger have a sale on!

Influence from my collage work and the tattooing imagery I am so in Love with.

Made a similar card a while back for the arrival of my cousin's new baby, however this design has developed to be alot more sleek and feminine, working on thin lines and the little details.
