Constellation and Dissertation Proposal PDP

After writing my first dissertation proposal I had the feedback that it was heavily plagiarised. I was obviously not happy with this and I was made to rewrite my proposal again. When looking back on it I realised where I had gone wrong and as I wanted to do so well I was trying to […]

Field Reflection

The two field projects I participated in were ‘Modelling and making with ecological materials’ and ‘Bringing the outdoors inside’. I think that my first field project went well and I thorough enjoyed the more practical side of learning to build with new ecological materials. I found that working with wood by using branches collect from […]

Artist Statement

My artwork aims to explore composition and foreshortening, using both painting and photography. My work has evolved from studying close-up distortions to distorting the whole body. I feel like I have strayed this way mainly because I was massively influenced by one of my constellation lecture about post-feminism and also I found greater pleasure in […]

Final Outcome 2

These are my second final outcome. I feel like I am not going to display the third one that you can see on the right as it is just was too distorted at the top and look a bit messy. However I am pleased with the outcomes of the other two. I love how distorted […]

Final Outcome 1

This is one of my final outcomes. I am so pleased with these compared to my piece that I displayed at the exhibition at the gallery. They are to a higher quality and look a lot more professional. This is one of the things I learned from my formative assessment with Davida; she told me […]

My West Wharf Gallery Exhibition

Overall I was not pleased with my outcome for the West Wharf gallery. I feel like I overstretched myself as I felt like I had to make something grand. Initially for my painting I was going to display was the collage of canvases inspired by Hockney but after talking with Davida she felt like I […]

An unlikely outcome

I have found that throughout my experiments of painting bodies in the style of foreshortening that I have never loved the outcomes. I have always felt that I have ruined my initial drawings. Theres something about the simplicity of the drawings that compliments the effect of foreshortening. For my final piece I would like to […]

Mapes Experiments

I spent some time photographing myself to collect photos for my collage. I wanted to focus one experiment on just the face and the other on more of the body so I could incorporate my foreshortening photography as I don’t want to lose the focus of close-up body parts. I think that they were both […]

Woodman experiments

These are my outcomes in the style of Francesca Woodman. I used photoshop to turn my photos to black and white. I increased the contrast drastically, and the exposure and brightness slightly. I then layered photos that I thought worked well together and used lower opacity’s to create a blurred and distorted appearance of the […]
