She Sun

Whilst clearing out my room I found these two photographs pinned to a notice-board. I think they must have been left in direct sunlight for a good year or so as the colour has been altered dramatically, which i thought was rather snazzy. I worked into them with an old biro to create a scratched/etched effect.

Lino Cuts

I spent the week helping with a Fine Art summer course for teenagers aged 14-16 at AUCB. It was hard work at times but a really rewarding experience, and I even got to try lino cutting for myself on the last day. I experimented with collaging materials into the prints, along with reductive printing techniques. The colour has altered slightly on these scanned versions, but I am really pleased with the results. I intend to develop printing as a method within my practice next year, as it allows me to create a repepated image that I can then work into afterwards, with stitch for example, giving each print a hand rendered quality.

Birthday Card for my loverly housemate. I got very excited by the fabric, lots of nice old things.

SLR Photos

These are a few photos taken with my grandads Olympus OM30 Film SLR, probably should have blogged them a while ago but hey hoooo. I've always loved the quality of film photographs and have used them in my work in the past but have never kept a record of things in this way before. Pimms. Strawberries and Flowers, lots of summery goodness :)

Croatia

Slowly overcoming the fear of faces
