small update.

Circles have finally been hung on the wall...

The wall hanging is complete. I still need to decorate the screws but I will take a picture of that in the next post.

Hands print is also done and mounted. 

I also made two new little drawing...

Another third year update.

I have been going back and finishing work that I have left. I got round to doing some more slides and now have only two more to print on so I'll have the slide box finally done by next week...

The circles are finally finished and will be hung on Monday.

I got my sculptural piece finished too.

Made a box frame for the house print

I have started making this wall hanging in the studio by knitting bits of paper together. It's been great but I am glad it's nearly finished! It's been a lot of fun painting my own child drawings and it's turned out well. There are three or four pictures in there that my sister's drew when they were around four or five. It's really massive too, I haven't got round to measuring it bet but I have a picture of it next to the slide box. I have also added some text as well by writing with my left hand. The text is quite dark compared to the colourful pictures and I talk about hiding and playing in abandoned buildings with my friend. I have decided to hang it with pegs too so it's like it's on a washing line and I will make plasticine covers for over the screws that are holding the rope together. 

I have came up with another piece of work for this last semester. I enjoyed knitting the paper so much that it gave me an idea for a massive silk screen print. I want to make a massive A0  print of my Auntie when she was younger, it's from an old photograph. Once I have the print I'm going to leave it in water and age it, then I will rip it and knit it back together. Here is the image...

This will be my final large piece for third year and I can't wait to start it. After this is done ill set up my space and work on smaller works.

Second semester update three.

Here is what I have been getting up to in the studio. The work displayed is from last week because I forgot to update again. The first three images are small A5 tissue paper experiments that I done.

A2 tissue paper experiment. 

 I bought this lovely old picture frame from e-bay last year. It was sitting in my room for months and last week I finally thought of something nice to do with it. A lot of the materials that are on it are found objects from the beach

I finally got round to printing on to two of the slides. I also put a print on to the other side of each slide so that you can see an image from all angles that the box is viewed from.

 I'm making the prints on the other side of the slides different colours.

Small experiment 

New mixed piece, it's not finished yet but I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far.

Second semester update two.

This week has been another busy one. I have been working on my circle paintings and I've also been adding hand carved prints to them. I've also started creating the third circle. I'm not happy with the third circle yet, but I'm happy with the way it's going so far.
Here are my hand made prints...

Here's some of the prints on paper...

A quick mixed media piece that I done for my print book. I found a dirty five pound note on the ground so I decided to incorporate it with the work. I called it "Junky fiver"

Here is the progress of the circles.

Looks terrible just now but once all the posters have been ripped back and have been given a weather beaten affect it will look good.
