I feel like I've been working really hard but I don't seem to have a lot to show for it this week. Saying that, I've nearly finished my seminar presentation, and today I finished another experiment. This one is a scaled up section from the toile, done in stitch. I did it quite quicky (comparitively) so that close up the stitching doesn't really describe the form - but from a distance the viewer is like "ooooohhhhhh its a face dude...." (dunno why a surfer would be looking at it...) I stretched this one - I think part of the reason why I got a lowish mark last semester was because I didn't finish my samples off in any particular way, just shoved wonky scraps of fabric up.
So here it is.
Its 40x40 cm, black thread on off-white fabric.
Close-up
Side view - stitch going round the side of the frame....kinda accidental but me likes :)
New piece next to Laura Ashley piece - I really like the juxtaposition of size :D
And, as well as doing this bad boy, I've been drawing on my wallpaper again - got a war zone going on on one strip, with cherubs shooting each other and buildings in flames,
and I've also been doing one as a homage to lots of the artists who have influenced me; so I've drawn clown faces on some of the characters (Chapman Bro's) replaced various figures with various sculptures (pieces by Allen Jones, Sarah Lucas and Susan Collis) and I've chucked some Kent Henricksen in there too :) I Like Very Much.
Irritatingly, I have a sexy ol'cough going on, and a cold. But, unlike certain hyperondriacs I know, its not going to stop me!!
And people are paying me for hoodies, which is very good.
