Pink/Black Cable ties

 

Work in progress . . .

This is the most recent piece of mine. I’m using umbrellas suspended upside down from the ceiling filled with white paper. This it the first try at this idea (3d sketch/maquette) –  it changed a lot from the sketches i did as i was building it.

 

My Degree Show . . .

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my work…

 

my degree show

My work is about the process of making. I am interested in the idea of using something man-made and synthetic in order to create something that appears organic and free flowing in form, exploring the function of the materials that I use.

 

I have used a variety of materials within these pieces, using different sizes for different effects. My intention is to draw the audience in by the overall impact of the pieces.  When looking at the work from a distance you notice the use of balls and paper within the work, but as you move closer you become aware of the smaller materials and fixings used and the intricate details of each piece can be appreciated. My fascination with the making process means that it is essential for as much of the material to be visible as possible. The energy and spontaneity of the process is key within my work.

 

Alongside the process of making I have been interested in organic forms in nature. Various aspects of nature have informed the hanging organic pod-like forms of these pieces and the sometimes odd and unrealistic colour combinations. This led me into creating hanging forms using weights. The weights pull the pieces down just off the floor creating movement and tension throughout the work.

photos of work will come up soon . . .
