Lowry Drawings

These drawings are drawn onto acetate with a 'Sharpie' pen;

 the whole image is layered up with blocks of colour 

that I printed off onto the acetate.

I also added samples of wallpaper to a few other drawings.

The white blocks you see on the drawings is white paint 

that is painted on the reverse side of the acetate.

Sketchbook example.

Original photograph I took at the Lowry in Salford Quays 

printed onto acetate and layered with the same  

block colours as before.

My love for Charcoal

This was my final piece in A-level 2009.

I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of this canvas but its roughly 2m x 2.5m.

Its a distorted image image originally of my Mother that I morphed on photoshop to create the Egon Schiele inspired piece.

It's a mixed media piece with materials including paint, latex, marker pen, charcoal, ink, strips of paper and glue.

One of my (Crumpled) drawings roughly 1m x 1m drawn with ink and charcoal only.

"Fabrick"

This piece was done in A-Level where I recreated the idea of a brick work pattern out of many different textiles and textures.

Italian Landscape Sketches

In 2008 I was chosen to attend a Cheshire County Council trip to Florence for 'talented art pupils'.

 During this trip we were able to sketch the landscape that surrounded our accommodation.

Final Piece

This installation is x3 light boxes with resin windows; 

this is a post-memory piece about cancer. 

This semester I really took the brief of time and memory on board and chose to work with my personal memory. My personal memory is quite recent, only happening 1-2 years ago I had to see my mum go through the pain of breast cancer; this was still a sensitive subject for me but that made it more interesting to see in what way I would represent this memory.

As I experimented with different materials to use with my perception of cancer, I came up with black powder that when set in resin showed through as a ‘black mass’; this idea was also used in visiting artist Rachel Goodyear. My interpretation of her ‘black mass’ was a negative energy that consumed everything and that’s how I can view cancer. It wasn’t me that had cancer but I had to watch it consume my Mother and have her go through chemotherapy.

Putting my light boxes together...

they are roughly a meter tall and have x9 cut-out windows in which I will show the stages of healing through breast cancer.
