My heirloom.

Latex embossing the grain.

A drawer.

Nearly dry!

Once I had peeled it.

YES

YES MOTHERF…ing BREAKTHROUGH.

That DAMN graded unit has been stalling in my brain since the holiday started. I have an idea, AN IDEA. I’ve got that special feeling in my toes. Oh goody.

Polaroids of subject to come.

I found this dragonfly perfectly preserved and dry on a road in Denmark when I visited last summer. It is a beautiful shimmery blue and always reminds me of home.

I am sorry for the lack of posts as of late. I have been busy doing lots of written professional practice things and only posting shitloads on my tumblr.

Since I last wrote I have turned 20 and received word that I have an interview for Glasgow School of Art for the 22nd April. I hope my dream comes true.

Installation

For our crits on tuesday.

As you walk in the space:

And then you turn around looking out at where you came in:

Gemma Saville

“Exploring the ambiguity inherent in the nature of scale…”

“…images and sculptural objects that attempt to confuse and confound our inbuilt distinction between the miniature and the gigantic.”

“…dictating viewpoints…”

“Physically presenting intangible and inaccessible spaces…”

“…propped, leant and stacked within the confines of the gallery.”

Saville’s degree show statement can easily apply to my current project.

Installation VI
Wax, waxed paper, glass circle
metal table frame, spray paint

A tiny mountain.

Bamboo

sofiefr — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:09:49 +0000

I managed to sew the pieces onto bamboo sticks so they can be carried and also hung in a different space quite easily.
It is also now possible to create compositions in space with more than one structure on a stick.

Just two right now. I will be making another.

Scale

sofiefr — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:06:45 +0000

Thinking about scale and how a simple object/structure is completely changed with scale.
I think I will be having a large photograph and a sculpture as my final piece for this project. Crits are next tuesday.

I made a much smaller version of previous idea.

big vs. small

I need to move the sculpture off the wall, so it becomes much more 3D.

Photogenic

These bad boys are extremely photogenic, I am enjoying taking photos of them so much so I am going to post a whole bunch.

I think they would look brilliant hung from the ceiling in a white room with lights shining directly onto them creating shadows and therefore another repetition.

p.s. I edited my about me page. It’s a bit more informative now.
