More self-portrait scribbles in sketchbook.

I’ve sewn some of the fabric and while I quite like the look of it, the red thread lines aren’t secure enough. They never stay straight and I have managed to pull one through. I may try stitching lines through other fabric to see what it’s like. 

WIP. Fabric stitched with red lines to appear like the lines on a map. I just have to sew the marking using white thread now. 

 

A couple of self portraits for my sketchbook. Judging by these I think a lot of myself. Or not.

After editing the photos for a book I’ve decided that they weren’t what I wanted. So I changed them to grey scale, I like my sister’s photos but mine are completely wrong.

I took more photos, I like the overall look of it apart from the redness in my cheeks. I’m going to have to take more photos. 

This is an idea for a postcard for my end of year exhibition in uni. I wanted a simple design to work with one of the ideas of my project.

What do you think? I haven’t had them printed yet so any constructive criticism is welcome.

                               

Been taking photos today of the moles and freckles on my twin sister’s and my face. We used black calligraphy ink because it would stand out the most. Hopefully I’ll put them all together to make a book for our uni exhibition. 

This piece is for Uni. My work is about skin markings, moles and freckles. But it is also about being a twin and how me and my sister have tried changing our appearance to show that we are individuals. When you strip everything away our markings are also ways of showing our individuality, just like finger prints.

This piece of work is for uni and is about skin markings and constellations.

WIP Uni work to do with facial marks, stars and constellations.

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. 

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.
