So here are some of my pieces of art that I did in my first term of uni, they're a bit of a mix of styles and ideas whilst I gathered my bearings. Now I've moved on to some painting, heavily influenced by sound, which I'll post on here as soon as possible. This image above was an experimental piece where I was looking at language/music as a system. Having researched morse code, I found a beautiful quote, "Calling all. This is our last cry before our eternal silence." I then wanted to write this in morse code, but experiment with my interest in materiality and texture, so I allocated different materials to each letter and recreated the quote in morse code then used it to make collograph prints.
I tried further experimentation into music and art and ended up creating this piece above, which is a physical representation of the sounds and the movements associated with chakras. I performed the various yoga positions, having painted my hands and feet with the colours that were in correspondance with the yoga positions, creating an abstract piece, which I then worked into with charcoal, adding records to amphasise the link with music.
Having felt somewhat pressured to work with music and art, I thought about what else I wanted to look at, and felt that I wanted to look at escapism, which in hind sight seems very apt considering how I was feeling uncomfortable working with music and art and looing for a way out perhaps. I began to look at tunnels as a general symbol of escaping, and mixed this with my interest in domestic objects, which has been carried through from previous projects. I spent some time experimenting loosely with materials to depict this concept, really though I feel I was getting a bit bogged down with concepts and so more recently have tried to move away from that a little bit.
And that is a general catch up on the year so far! More stuff to come...
