final ideas of exhibitions and abit of an evaluation on my progress through the project..

prep for my final idea? i wanted to use the billboard piece i have to make spiral sculptures, i will either have them suspended of free standing, im leaning more towards free standing at the minute.

i find looking at my smaller scaled version it looks abit like a worn out city, with the different layers from the many posters built up, going along with the idea of my project, looking into reworking into a piece of material, and me creating smaller building-esk sculptures out of a material that has been apart of the urban landscape that is manchester i fell im giving it new life creating my own little urban landscape, i will however enlarge the smaller sculpture giving it more effect.

 i think i have enjoyed the overall project and my work had reflected a good amount of reflection in my sketchbook although being a little bit lost by the structure of this course at the beginning i have slowly gotten into a comfortable rhythm, i feel i could of produced a lot more work if work on my defining a smaller group idea, i find i have too many ideas at the same time and it can become confusing but i think im getting a lot better at narrowing down my ideas.

drawing seen in the post show my ideas for my final piece for the exhibition.

Peony Yip

Animal morphing Illustrations.

 illustration work of Hong Kong based artist Peony Yip. I really love all her pencil work, but especially these animal morphing illustrations overlayed on females faces, exploring the relationship between human, animal and nature.

 I also really liked how she matched the expressions of the models and translating it into the expressions of different animals, i think this link well into the idea of layering that im exploring in my own work, but the neat drawing aspect of her work i dont think ill take much inspiration. But her drawing are extremely fine an beautiful. 

 

spiral sculptures

i wanted to create something 3d, i was getting fed up with working on a flat surface so i started trying to create free standing sculptures and after making, quite alot of them i found that all of it looked like a derelict urban landscape made from something that had be apart of our own urban landscape of grey manchester (its been raining way to much!) and so i want to try and up the scale of these pieces!

billboard

i currently have a huge billboard that im slowly ripping apart, and i decided to take my continuos drawings onto the piece of billboard i took home with me, i like the way the paints slightly seeped through the different layers of the billboard.
