Birmingham, Manchester and everything else..

My love for photography seems to have returned fully now and with my art foundation coming to an end I won't have time to be making posts as much as I would hope. I thought  instead about sharing a more photo diary based series and see how it goes. I love when other bloggers do this kind of post, wish me luck. 

Kaleidoscopes and Ice...

  

I have really been enjoying the art I've been creating lately as it's something I have never tried before. My current project is revolving all around Kaleidoscopes; turning my photographs and paintings into this unique effect is very different to what I usually enjoy creating but so far I think this is one of my favourite projects. I am now exploring how to work with ice as my media and so far I am pleased with what is being produced, England being warm at the moment isn't helping me but I am having a great time making it. I am looking forward to summer when I can make more of my own work without having to follow a brief or a deadline. I am currently working on creating an ice bowl that I hope to share on my blog if it all goes successfully, wish me luck. 

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary

     

I thought I would share more of my art work although this time it would be focusing on my ceramic pieces. Apart from a rushed clay head I was forced to make in year 12 these are my first attempts at working with clay and I'm pretty proud of how they look. My project was 'Surfaces and Textures' so I looked into the different patterns, formations and colours that are present in a variety of fruit. 

Art is the lie that enables us to realise the truth

      

I realised I haven't made a blog post this week; November is becoming the busiest month of my life. I am going to make a post explaining everything I have been up to but for now I thought I would share some of my art work I recently went to pick up. I completed these paintings for my art and design A level at the start of this year although I haven't really shared my work like this before. I am now finished with my A Levels (thank god) and seeing these pieces that were such a big part of my life again is strange. I went through a period of time where my art work would be quite weird and somehow managed to work most of my pieces into the 'Distorted Figures' category. I hope you like them!
