Decided to have a sketchbook/blog/painting day today and then a Dissertation day tomorrow.
Started a new sketchbook today with a few pages on Damien Hirst and some initial rough sketches of some paintings I’m planning to create over the next few weeks. Still not too sure where I’m going with this project, however the unknowing is making it all the more fun!
Also on this post, I thought I would share two images from my work from last year.
The first image depicts a flock of handmade fabric birds hung in a white space at University. The idea for this piece came from a train journey back from a weekend with my family. I remember looking at a flock of birds, all twisting a flying in unison, out of the train window and how that got me thinking of society, families and friends. As individuals we rely and interact with one another (as birds do) to show the right path, be it a physical or mental path.
The second image is of four boxes/cages that I created at the end of last year. Made from wood, wire mesh and plastic (to represent glass) these boxes have become a starting point to the work I am currently creating this year.
