ok so now its time to sink or swim!started a new body of work which details letters and how we see them. I want to change the way in which the sender sends and the receiver receives mail, make it beautiful, make it exciting and most importantly, make it worth keeping, and personal. My work is so literal, and my thoughts are sometimes too big for my small we head, so its time to explode them all over the place and give them in tiny segments to each and every one of those who i love...

New

the ball rolling...

I haven't updated this in a while and thought i would start to get the creative ball rolling as iv now started a new project.
After a (long) summer off, i feel its time i started to think about how i would want my work to move on and develop from my degree show. i love the idea of continuing with visual narratives and set design, but i feel keeping it with a nautical theme may limit my experiences and start to stereotype me. Instead i would like to use this theme as a means to show how i would 'sail' away from one idea to the next.
I have been keeping a little diary/journal, its not much, but it contains both important, meaningless and drawn thoughts which have sparked the makings of a development...
utopia was a main area that i worked withing throughout my nautical exploration, and this word takes you to so many different places, means so many different things to various different people and also has great effects when put into action...
i have started to explore the varieties of meanings of this word in order to tie connections between my personal utopia,or what i thought was my only utopia...scans coming soon!

graduate seeks new inspiration

finished!

prepping up for the show

The final week in the studio has been pretty intense but it has seemed to work out and I am really pleased with my final outcomes. I was a bit nervous about putting up my pieces as it required a lot of thought and planning and the three large pieces needed to be drilled into the wall, but after lots of trial and error moments and some slight hiccups I got there in the end and I think its working really well.
The display as a whole really invites the viewer into the scene, which was what my original intensions were. I think combining various sizes and scales has brought a greater depth of field to the aesthetics and I recently discovered that when I placed the small Polaroids within the larger a real sense of movement was created. The stitching in each piece travels from left to right and makes a great relationship between my coastal visit journey and my embroidery investigation
