Sculpture in Clay Pt2

I decided to present my clay piece on an old collage i created. I felt this collage suited my work as it had a colour scheme of black and white, fitting the reality colours of my visuals. It had rough paper down a line with old wire mats with broken plaster on. Additionally, i had stuck down flowers and leaves, sticking out from the wire mats to show how life can continue to grow even in destruction. However, now this piece shows losing reality and identity as the wildlife begins to grow over as they lose touch.

I placed the clay piece on the board, next to a mat to represent a cage trapping her. I placed her around the board in other places as well. However felt she looked out of place as she does not interact with anything on the board unlike the wire mat.

I especially like this angle on the mat in this photo as it appears quite open but you can also see her legs under the mat showing how she is stuck under.

I took another photo further away from the other side of the board. I think to develop this piece i could hang it on a wall, add more plants on it so it is covered and nearly drowning. Also allowing the clay sculpture to interact under it an dont look so empty on the board. I could create more clay pieces holding onto the mat to show how some dreamers dont want to let go of their fantasies.

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
