Second year so far

This year iv started my studio work looking at mental health, such as depression. Iv been looking at and researching artist who have suffered from mental health such as Louise bouisegiose.

Who suffered with depression after her father died. Most of her work I'd created in instilations. The series of cages called "cells" depict stages in her life witch she can visit or shut the door on.

Tracy emin who is well known for her instillation of her bed from when she was in the lowest point of depression is very rawer. This self exposure is interesting as she shows off her vunrable side to the world.

My work.

I started off with creating images of my own experience with depression to start moving in the right direction.

I started to research how people protect them selfs from society. I started looking at cocoons as I feel that when people who suffer hide away but not only to protect them self but to develope and become more able to cope with there reality.

  

After workin on these drawring I developed the in to a sculpture witch I made with latex and wire.

Lincoln uni-Fine art BA first year.

After being accepted to all my university's I'd applied to I chose lincoln to carry on my education in fine art. I found it to be the most appropriate place for me to study.

After a slow start of briefs I didn't really put my all in to I finally got going when we were allowed to direct our own study's I'd chosen the subject of taboo to research.

Taboo

 I start off my project with general research and drawring to start producing my ideas. I find this littoral begging to help me get the obviousness out of the way and creat more interesting work.

I start producing and experimenting with tequnics. These are mainly biased in 3D as I am more inclined to work with my

I started looking at locked doors and keys, what people hide behind. I moved from very obvious taboos to more common but rarely talked about such as alcohol abuse

After producing this work I started developing what I'd done in to larger pieces, installations.

I find that when your more involved in the art work the more effective it can be on the viewer.

Foundation NCN

Iv not been an artist for that long. I only started in 2011 with my foundation course at New College Nottingham. With no GCSEs or a-level in art i jumped straight in at the deep end with no Knowledge of art or popular artists, you could say i was a blank canvas!(art pun!)..... After a gap year of doing nothing but trying to find a job and working at primark i was ready to go back in to education desperately!!

Best thing to of ever happened! i loved my year at NCN. Learning new things every day off my tutors and students. we began the year off by dipping our toes in to lots of different areas of art; Textiles, painting, life drawing, scuplture and oh so many other.

 After a jammed packed few months i decided to go in to fine art as i found this to me the most rewarding and captivating subject. With the new found free rain over my ideas and work witch at first was very daunting but i finally got in to the swing of things.

Project one- Where is the line?

I was looking at where the boundaries of art would stop after looking at artist such as Joel peter witkin my final piece became a scenario of where is the line in medicine. 

Project Two-demonds!

I was looking at free will and if we are pulling our own strings in life. id created an small instillation witch consisted of photo grams a puppet and some shadow photography.

(i cant seem to find any images of this work)

Final project- medicine 

My exam piece was about the dependancy on medication and the blind faith the public has in the tablets  they take

Passed my foundation and went on to lincoln uni to carry on my study of fine art!
