Reflections

Reflections Image by Jennie (c). Boy this was a hard one! we had to do a self portrait reflected in water. my main issue was finding a suitable receptacle to hold the water in. I tried a stainless steel bowl – no good, too shiny. Tried a white bowl – no good too… well.. white…

Back into it

This is the first work in my new unit VAR12. I have mentioned before that this unit involves abstraction, anamorphism and interesting ideas so it will be quite interesting. This assignment was to do a self portrait reflected in something round and shiny. I chose our doorknobs which are very shiny (oo shiny!) There isn’t…

Syndication and supplimation

but its all here too so you don’t need to worry about changing your links.I haven’t been painting or drawing (even though I need to badly) because a lot has been happening…. The reason given is that they can’t see what is wrong and refuse to accept new data from those who can…. I have almost finished my resume and have some excellent ideas for my proposal – I should be finished by the end of the week.

The results are in

I am being graded harder on this folio and I should be thrilled to get such a great mark.Damn my overachieving hide. its the same thing with clothing sizes.meh, its probably PMS.Anyway, I am resting, christmas shopping and marketing all at once…. when I can further my career, update my website and choose cool presents from the relaitve comfort of my couch, things are good.

its off!

I used my visual diary a lot more this time and there was a lot of writeup to do but I am confident I have included everything and have done a good job…. people comment on the works as they please and it is really good to get such nice reactions. I have a limit to the amount of images I can post per month so there isn’t much on there right now but feel free to have a look around!

The everyday

Arg!The very last assignment is text within a piece with the theme of the everyday. I have chosen a quote that I think sums up my life pretty well at the moment: ‘pain is no evil unless it conquers us“ It has given me much to think about…. I want to get a fair amount done before christmas as I will be cooking non stop over the holiday – YAY!
