Art Exam

Project based upon the human body, I focussed on the ambiguity of the human form, using layers and colour to convey ambiguous shapes and textures. I didn't love my final piece, (bottom right) which consisted of layers of canvas showing the layers of the human body, but I got an A in the end, so all the hard work paid off.

 And this is the last school project I will ever do! Next stop- Falmouth Uni...

loosely based on this photo I took in Curitiba, Brazil.

Portrait of Rafael

My brother did not sit for this portrait, its impossible for a 13 year old to sit still for more than 5 minutes, however I think he rather likes the idea of being a model/muse. I painted from a photo of him on a boat in Brazil, hence the water... I would like to think that my own style of painting comes across in this piece, it's something I have been trying to develop throughout my A-level coursework.

A sneaky peek at my textiles project...

This is my A-level textiles project based on natural forms and ethics in the fashion industry, here are my mood boards and a few basic design sketches... I would love to know what you think!

At St Martins...

Before Christmas I did a short Art & Design course at St Martins in London. The project title was 'The body', we visited the fascinating surgeon's museum, full of organs in jars, I was inspired by the intricacy and delicacy of the organs and their ambiguous appearance.

This was my final piece, acrylic on canvas with paper and fabric 3D heart... I wasn't happy with the legs in the end and have changed them now so that they are crossed over.
