Individual Work

So far I do not feel like I have shown much of my own individual work and so I think it is important to display what I am doing on my own and the theme my work is taking. I am still currently going on the theme of childhood imagination and imagery and am combining my drawings with photographs  and using tools such as watercolours, hand and machine embroidery and magazine cutouts in order to create my imaginary worlds of mixed media. 

Firstly I have developed a range of drawings using a range of media. My drawings are mostly of objects which remind me of home as well as being objects from my imagination as a child, for example fairy wings. However I also found it interesting to draw clocks as a way of displaying of me going back in time. Below is a selection of a few initial drawings. 

Following these initial drawings, I have tried to match up my old photographs with the drawings. This was actually more difficult than I expected as it takes some time to work out the positioning of the photograph. In order to see if the position of the person in the photograph (when cut out) will fit the drawing or design. To do this successfully I really had to play around a lot in order to get the best fits from image to drawing to create many successful mixed media pieces of work. 

Above is a small selection of my 22 triangles. At this stage I am still developing my ideas and so some of them will be developed further. 

For some of the very tricky shafts of perspex I decided to create some textured triangles by ironing some crayola crayons onto some calico. I did this because I remember drawing with crayons used to be one of my favourite things. I had a lot of fun creating these triangles.
