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 delica...

Paint Videos

Whilst doing some string pulling experiments with watered down acrylic, i filmed how the water acted and the paint mixed as i thought the movements were intriguing and the process of colour change. In the first video the colour purple infiltrated the blue water i added to the page and as i lifted the page the way it moved, even danced in the water, was really fascinating and unpredictable. I was using this paint to cover a face drawing i had drew previously using biro. I decided i didnt like it and would paint thinly over to show how the dreamer feels like she is drowning in her own mind. I feel like how the paint acted, before painting over the face,with the two colours was interesting as if they were performing to attract the dreamer before taking over her whole mind. I would like to film more of colours mixing and moving in water. Even though the paint didnt instantly react to the water being added i really like how the two colours of b...
