Identity

Identity - For my current studio work I am looking into people's identity, what makes them who they are, how they put themselves across to the world and how other people perceive them.

Identity - For these pieces I have been trying out a new technique by painting with cardboard over a wash of colour.

'I Am An Artist'

I have fallen in love with this video!!!! Whilst doing research for my identity project I came across this video. I felt it was all about the emotional journey an artist takes when starting out, being noticed or being rejected. It was all about loosing the meaning of your work and loosing the identity of you as an artist.

Identity - How other people see me!

IDENTITY
'A person's identity is defined as the totality of one's self-construal, in which how one construes oneself in the present expresses the continuity between how one construes oneself as one was in the past and how one construes oneself as one aspires to be in the future.' Peter Weinreich

What Ephemeral Means To Me

Decay - How objects naturally decay over time, and ways you can interfere with this process. I want to look at controlling this process, or making sculptures with materials that will decay at a rate that I tell them to. I have started by sculpting images of objects that will decay into candles.

'Butoh' - The randomness they teach us at Uni!!! This has to be one of the weirdest Performance Art pieces I have ever seen!
