Studio Work Y1S2: Suspended Material

Exploring three dimensional space created from flat 'two dimensional' materials. Netting, silk, cotton and tinfoil with the help of catgut. 

    

I don't know why but these two images came out terrible on blogger. It can't deal with the intense netting detail! Clearer pictures on Flickr linked at the bottom.

Studio Work Y1S2: Acetate + String

Here lies some thinking for current studio work in college. Dealing with the relationship between two simple materials and how they affect each other. Consists of thick acetate sheets and red wool. I may have taken 389 million shots of this which is something I need to work on but it was fuuuhuun.

Played around with different lighting filters.

Reminds me of constellations?

Started to expand it more by making another piece to go along and stretching out onto the floor and wall. Needing its surroundings in order to stand.

Started to experiment with a projector. Shadows were a lot more vivid than studio lighting.

Even patterns from the acetate started to show up.

Placed some loose woven linen over the projector. But a bit too over powering for the piece.

Exploration into Self Portraiture Ideas

I feel like I've grown a little out of make-do diy super fun craft time. So I've decided to start using this blog as a space for recording my ongoing research for college work. Today it's Self Portraiture for Photography 101. It's all about the idea, not so much technical skill for now. Trying to step out of the seat of just staring blankly in front of the camera. I don't believe a self portrait is limited to your face.

Having fabric to hide behind was a more comfortable way to start playing around. I wish I could have stepped out of myself and taken the photos. Self timers are impossible.

Check out my guns. I don't remember flexing, is that even me flexing? I don't even know. I really like how the tones came out in this.

I started playing around with the idea of wool breaking up my face into different shapes. How about distorting my face?

 Then I went crazy on this idea. I got some hilarious but also quite horrifying photos of this but I don't have the guts to show them to the entire world.

Facking 'ell it's been a while. I'm going to try focus this shbloog on less crafty stuff for the meantime. I'll just pick out a few photos from my trip to Frankfurt..

Saw a few detective ads around Frankfurt Am Main city centre. Hella cool, roight? I fell in love with the marble texture on the building, shown best in black and white but still wanted that glorious orange sign.

MMK - Frankfurt's beautiful museum of modern art.

And again.

I don't know what it is but I have a compulsive need to mirror everything. Symmetry is boring. Trying to compromise a lill here.
