Here is a set of works I created in response to a pattern making session in the studio’s. I began with creating a 2D piece using triangular shaped newspaper cuttings. The shapes I created developed from the image of slate tips, I sight which I was faced with all throughout my childhood. I then took these shapes and created a piece using the repetitive pattern. I decided to further develop this piece by taking it into a landscape setting.
It is important for my being to make new discoveries and immerse myself into nature and beautiful landscapes, this is what inspires me to create and to keep living! With this in mind I took some newspaper with me when I went to a local forest, I found a spot where I felt an inner calmness, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, which I often become frustrated with. I then began creating, cutting, sticking, repeating.
I then experimented with creating structural forms: Cubes. Again using the recycled materials. I feel this was very effective as it gave my work some form, an order. I think the cube could be developed into larger, stronger forms.
