Sea Research and Sketches

I have decided that I wanted to research into the sea. I like the shapes, forms, colours and textures. I feel I can do an extreme amount of research for this project and I feel it would be interesting to try manipulate fabrics and materials  in various ways to create unusual and interesting pieces, making jewelry and other outcomes. I find the sea one of the most interesting areas to look into and so I thought I would do some sketches now.

Here are some images that I have been inspired by,

Here are the sketches I have made from these photographs,


Beyond Fiction: collage’s

For today’s assignment we were told to create some collages that told a narrative and reflected the past and future.

These are two that i made in class, I feel i didn’t really make a narrative and focused too much on the past and future as i found it very difficult to create something on that large a timescale.

I decided to create more collages in my own time as i was not very happy with what i created in class. For these images below they represent a story to me, its about a boy who loved animals so much, that when he grew up he married a half woman half lion.

These collages i am very happy with, these images have a more biblical approach to time, going from gods to civilisation. The tentacles of the jellyfish straighten out, representing the more from wildness to the ordered nature of modern society.
