College Wall . . .





Since I have started the new project, I dont think I have posted a photo of my wall at college where all my work is displayed. I am experimenting with sewing onto a canvas and the idea of making it more 3D as I progress towards a final piece.

Nails in a Board . . .



I am now in week 5 of my final project at HCA, and excluding 2 weeks at easter, I have 4 weeks left to finish my project. So far I have looked at different buildings, like the pictures below, but I have explored and developed the techniques used. Such as sewing through paper to create the image or like in this case, nails in a board.

Spirograph Buildings (Photo Edits) . . .




Buildings I have taken photographs of, and edited using Photoshop, to create the Spirograph design. I eventually hope these images and the spirograph shapes created from them will become absrtract 3D pieces.

3D Spirograph Triangles . . .





Onto my final project at College now, and this is the one which will generate a grade at the end of the course. It is following along the lines of the Spirograph yet on buildings. These are the first 3D pieces I have made which are tests for the method of production. The orange triangle is spirograph design sewn onto clear plastic and then the four pieces sewn together. The purple one is created stringing thread around pins then pva gluing over, untill the glue is dry, and then sewn together. The green triangle is made from creating a frame from wooden downling, sawing notches along each piece, then wrapping the thread in a spirograph design, then attaching them together by sewing. I decided the method by which the orange triangle is made is much better.

Portfolio Section One . . .





I have applied for a place on the Contemporary Applied Arts Degree Course at Hereford College of Arts, today was my Interview and I'm happy to say that I have got a place. The following images Portfolio Section One to Four are images of the Portfolio I put together for the Interview, basically all of the work I have achieved so far except any 3D pieces.
