This is a photo of the final installation (minus the lights).

I think this image is really striking. This is one of my favourite pictures. I like how there is busy colourful sections and then plain open sections.

This is a photo I took looking up at my installation. I really like the different angles of the wool in this photo.

I am really pleased that I decided to use foil for the background as it gives many reflections such as this one.

I think the blues and silvers work well together in this picture.

More background ideas...

Here I think that the bright colours in the wool works well against the black paper.

I like the buisiness of this picture. This image really reminds me of the carnival with the colours and the ribbons.

I think this image works well and I think the lines of the paint are really effective here.

I think I prefer the other image with the ribbons. I feel that this seems quite busy and the lines work agains the curls from the ribbons.

I really like the ripple seen in the paper on this photo. I think it really adds something different to the picture.

More Photoshop images...

I created this image using the neon glow effect. I like it because of the bright colours.

I dont think this is as effective as some of the other images. I think this is because it hasnt got the bright colours and tones.

Here I like the simple colours and also the way this effect has blured the lines.


I like the colours here, howevere think that the image appears a bit to fuzzy.

Although this is a black and white image I like its simplicity.

I really like the neon colours used here. I think that this image would be something that I would want to include into my website.

Once again I like the bright colours in this image.

Initially I didnt like this image, however now I feel that its growing on me. Here I used the plastic effect.

Lots and lots of ribbons...

After putting all of the knitting together and photgraphing them I decided to do the same with the ribbons. I decided to put foil for the background to reflect the light.

I really like all of these images. I think the colours of the ribbons really compliment eachother.

Playing with Adobe Photoshop.....

Here I experimented with the ripple effect. I decided that I wanted to only make the ribble small so you could still the image clearly.

I really like this effect and think it works well. I like the contrast of the black against the colours of the ribbons.

Overall I think that I am going to experiment further with the filters on Adobe Photoshop.

A bit of sunshine.....

I took this picture just as the sun had come out. I like the shaddows that have been created.

Sun K Kwak: Untying Space

I was really amazed by this piece of work. I really liked the scale of the installation and the idea of movement in the drawings. I think her choice of keeping the colour scheme to a minimum is really clever as well as the focus is on the lines rather than the colour.

A happy accident...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these images. These were completly an accident as I was taking the work off the display. I then piled up all of my work together. I really like the mix of bright colours and the many different materials together.

George Clark-Roden

This exhibition focuses on the tensions between perception, form and sound. The artist’s approach involves the development of material and sonic encounters with the public, creating a dialogue between the art and the participant.

I really liked this installation and the deeper thinking behind it.

Just an image that I liked..

I really liked this picture for its simplicity. Although it's a bit fuzzy I think that it adds to the effect.

Looking up....

To take this image I lay on the floor and pointed the camera upwards. I like the angle of these images and I think that they provide a change from the way I usually take photgraphs.

From this image it got me thinking about how I wanted to cover the top of my display.

Matisse: Drawing with Scissors

I have always really liked the work of Matisse, after coming across his work during my A-Level course. During this time I got to see his work in the Tate Modern in London. I have always like the simplicity and the bright colours of his work.

‘The paper cut-out allows me to draw in the colour .... Instead of drawing the outline and putting the colour inside it ... I draw straight into the colour’ I really like Matisse's thinking behind this quote.

This image really made me think about the colours that I was using in my work.

The paint in the sink.....As I was cleaning up I washed all the paint down the sink. I really like how all the paint mixed together.
