Experimental Poetry

Today we had an experimental poetry lecture with Dr Catriona Ryan. One of the experiments she gave us to do was to write using (in my case) my left hand. We then had to write down what ever came into our heads and not try to force sentences. Here's what I came up with:

Fan belts float on draughts of green marshmallows tumbling weeds spiraling visions of violence.

Blue plumage of powdered cakes tower on toothpicks.

I've never really written any poetry but and I know this isn't really any good but I quite like it. 

Time Spent

I haven't posted much on here over the summer, I've been mainly working to get money to tide me over as I do my masters. But I haven't been completely idle. Since my sister has moved into our uni house (when neither of us were working) we were sewing our first patchwork quilt. Obviously it's not the best looking quilt but I am extremely pleased with how it's looking as it is our first.

 

 

 

 

I also spent some time knitting, which I'm still carrying on with.

I made a stencil out of the lion doodle and then spray painted it onto a t-shirt. Sadly because I use white spray on a dark grey t-shirt it didn't come out that well. I am going to do another one but with black spray on a white top.

Lion doodle

Just a little lion drawing I did. I'm considering either turning it into a stencil or having it printed onto a t-shirt.

Catalogue

I should have posted this a while ago, I would like to say that I haven't because I've been really busy but then I would be lying. Oh well, here are the photos of the exhibition catalogue and my postcards,

Owl

Out of the three cutout animals I produced for my Exhibition the owl was the one that took the longest. So here are some pictures so  you can see the process.

Postcards

For the Exhibition everyone in my class created postcards to put their contact information on. I decide to create  two different postcards, the first one had a cutout animal on the front with an etching on the back with my information. The second card was the opposite it had an etching of a bird skull on the front with three smaller cutout images on the back with my information.

Exhibition

I haven't post on here in a while because I've been concentrating on my uni course and creating work to be put up in our final exhibition.

This is what I put up. Sorry about the reflection of the windows on the glass.

What I Have Done (Original)

Calendars

I know it's a bit late for calendars but I've just handed in a project yesterday where they final images were for a calendar. The project was based on natural history but you could choose anything you want and the outcome could be anything. I chose to look at animals that have patterns or marking on their skins (a giraffe, tiger, toucan, and African wild dog.), I then also chose to create my images out of coloured paper. I then decided to showcase them as images for a calendar.
