Cheeky Sneaky Peek at the Summer project

So the list of objects to make work about was, Pencil, String, Radio, Apple, Scissors

I am to animate all the above for my project, and was struggling for inspiration.

So I went out one day to an inspirational place with the string and my camera.

And well, you can guess what is to come looking at these photos

s'only a working piece

Books books and more books

I do like using books

as a medium

or just reading them

Here is some of the stuff I have made using books

The top one with the suitcase is to represent the lifeboats of the Titanic, to fit with my end of second year work

&

the bottom two were influenced by Cara Barer's work

Beginning of my degree.

I kept on going with paper at the beginning

And for the collaborative project of an allotment in a day I made some vegetables in my scrunched up paper way

And for another project I worked on I made animals and monsters

Some puppetry sneaked in

and I began filming things

The things I made began having personalities

and telling stories

I guess I have found something which I am passionate about making art about.

Some old art.

This is the stuff from my Pre BA Foundation I did 09-10.

I have a thing for fairy tales, myths, legends, folklore... telling stories. 

My work usually has characters and a narrative.

Books are pretty important in my work too.

So I used books as a medium.

And fairy tales as a subject.

and this is the result.

Lighting created an atmosphere.

I created a fairytale woodland, out of the pages of books.

I loved that project.

Brand New Blog. Shiny.

Hello there...

I have made a new blog just for the artsy side of me. The artist, maker, animator, drawer... and anything else I sometimes do.

Seeing as though I am going into 3rd year, it's getting real and I'm going to step it up a notch.

So what I do...

Early on I worked with paper, making things with pages from books, making an entire forest scene from  pages.

Then I moved on to animating inanimate objects & making films

All the while still drawing.

The aim and passion is telling stories throughout my work & bringing things to life. 

This blog is going to be bursting of my stuff...
