Using clay I made a patterned hand as part of my college work, this was a project based around my religious festival where ‘henna’ is applied to your hands.
The Henry Moore inspired models are made from clay, I researched his style of work and tried using it in my work.
This other model i made which is also using the same style but I made this more of my own work by designing it with patterns you would find on Asian clothing.
This brush I made was with hair extensions, I did plan to have bristles for this also but as I made it, I liked the way it looked without. I find it interesting to have a hairbrush made from actual hair.
After being given a brief to make something from a white shirt, I didn’t have many ideas to begin with but after serious thought I decided to make a handbag. Although sewing is not my strongest point I tackled it in order to achieve the end product which I was pleased with, I also enjoyed the concept very much.
I am currently working on a project studying snakes and snake skeletons. I experimented with wire to have some understanding of the form of the skeleton. The twists in the body are very nature like, I think it works well.
The concept of the hairbrushes was to use materials with properties that you would not use for the real object. I used polystyrene for the large brush and cocktail sticks for the bristles, the finished brush looked almost like you could use it.
For me print making became interesting when i used materials to make the prints. I used different fabrics, thread and foil.
This was done in life-drawing where we did quick five minute drawings, each position individual. The over lapping of the lines work well.
This was also done as part of my life-drawing class, each lesson i could see improvement and this piece of work is one of my better drawings.
Following my work on snakes, i experimented with making things rather then drawings of the snake skeletons. Using space was the important factor for me.
This was another of the wire sculptures, i created the form as it was. I feel it explains itself.
Following the above, it is the same concept, but more creative and looking at it, it does not show what it is supposed to be, i like that.
Using string, wire and paper, i created another one of my ideas. The black paper compliments the materials well.
Again using space i experimented with paper strips, which are self explanatory with the twists and curls, very snake like.
