welsh valentines day project explorations

Dont have many ideas at the moment in terms of final design...but lots and lots of words. Backwards writing for direct transfer prints makes for a fun afternoon!

and a special one for my friend holly, who enjoys long walks on the beach and surrounding herself with boobs.

...and then there was clay...

Made some cool little ornaments whilst searching for patterns. Far to delicate to have any real use...but I had fun!

Experimenting with Plaster...

    Decided to get to know plaster a little better. We both enjoyed it.                                                                 

                

Patterns Project

If I learnt one thing from this project, its that patterns are bloody everywhere. I am now obsessed and cant avoid them. I did enjoy this project though...as I discovered a love for plaster of paris and carving. I experimented with sound and water by originally taking photographs of the ripples created when a bowl of water is placed on top of a speaker playing babyhead...very loudly. I then developed my designs so they could be carved into plaster plates and would have a similar hypnotic effect on the viewer as mandalas and labyrinths. It was very therapeutic just making them, so I hope you enjoy them too.

Final Pieces and Display

I wanted them to be wall hangings, so they could be used as decorative items as well as for relaxation/meditiation. So I made up my own way of attaching them to the wall.

And heres a few of me and Holly with our work at the show... and Joey drooling over Ryan's woodwork pieces.
