I have continued to look begin to research different artists and to play around with my photos on photoshop.

Neal Rock: Fanestra & Other Works

I really like the work of Neal Rock, especially the way he builds up his work so it comes out from the wall. The techniques that he uses reminded me of layers of paper mache.

Toby Ziegler

This piece from Ziegler really made me think of the work of Jackson Pollock as he also uses paint drops in his work.

"Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known" Oscar Wilde

I really agree with this quote. I really like how art can be completly individual and can mean different things to the viewer.

Cornelia Parker

After looking at the work of David Batchelor it really reminded me of the work of Cornelia Parker, who I had came across a few years ago in the Ikon gallery. This idea of hanging items really intrested me.

The carnival.........

I really like this photo as it was very spontaneous. I think it really sums up the atmosphere of the carnival.

I really like the mix of bright colours on this float.

This was my favourite float at the carnival. I really like the bright colours and the twists. This idea of twisting materials is something that I intend to explore further throughout my work.

This photo took me ages to take as I kept missing the confetti falling. I think this image is really simple but sums up the carnival well.

These were my favourite costumes at the carnivals. I like the contast of blue against orange.

Hi....welcome to my blog :)
I intend to use this blog as a online gallery of my work and other artists that have inspired me. Throughout my course I have had the opportuntity to visit some amazing places such as Italy and New York. These visits have been reflected in my art work throughout my 4 year art course.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Starting point...

My starting point for this year was the carnival. This was because I visited one of the biggest carnivals in Italy in a town called Viareggio. During this year I aim to develop my knowledge of different materials and experiment with different colours.
I started by looking at the many photos that I had taken whilst at the carnival.
