Doll Movemnt


    I hooked some wire to the doll and spun her around in front of a light to create a shadow. The movement of the doll was difficult to create a smooth, constant spin due to not having an easy grip on the wire. To fix this i need to make the wire more stable and hang it from the ceiling. I was intrigued by the shadow on the wall as it is not of a solid form and thought it would be an interesting way to show the dancers in the singers dream. For instant using the canvas painting of the singers face and creating shadows to dance across it. Furthermore, i would like to pour paint on the felt dancer and let it drip to show how the dreamer has succumbed to living in the fantasy.


    I used the felt dancer to attempt a mini final piece idea. I hung the dancer up using wire and held a plastic circle above her. Then i proceeded to use wool to wrap around the circle to create a cage. I found this difficult to keep clear and think it would work better using wire then weaving the wool between the wire around the doll. The wool represents rope that would wrap around and have paint poured down it. However, before considering this idea further i would like to try it with wire.

Crete: Drawings

    I took a sketchbook with me to Crete, on the plane i doodled this out of boredom. Using coloured pens i created random patterns and lines to draw out the front of a girl. Then using black Biro i added outlines and scribbled her hair and over onto the back of the page. To me this shows a process of turning boredom and negative emotions into creativity and art. The scribbles become less and eventually turn into the colourful patterns before fading completely. I really like the idea conveyed in this drawing, however i dont like the basic cartoon style as i think it shows my lack of drawing skills. The whole piece looks like a doodle and a bit messy. Especially with how the scribbles come out of the hair. I think recreating this with paint would create a better outcome. Instead of patterns it would be a strong mix of bright colours that is faded together like a light cloud. Compared to a mix of black and grey at the back with drips and harsh lines. I could also add some delicate sewing

Artist- Mara Light

       Whilst looking at Jenna Andersons art i came across the artist Mara Light. Lights work Focuses on young women in rough, aged appearing paintings. The artists creates beautifully detailed paintings of girls that almost look like porcelain dolls, however the painting itself looks rough and marked up with drips in her work. The contrast of perfection and a sense of neglect to the work conveys the women with the feeling of loss and abandonment. Possibly exposing how their lives are not perfect despite their appearance.       Mara Lights work really captures my attention with the texture as well as the emotions conveyed in the work through the women and their body language. They all look hopeless and lost and all have a story of their own. I have pictured myself creating some artwork with a similar style to Lights and now by using Lights work as a preference i have a chance to look at the details in the rough areas to try and recreate as well as add on extra materials for inst
