PICTOVISUAL - Private View Photos

I thought I would put up some photos from the Private View we held. Myself and a couple of friends organised it and we had 26 artist's work. It was a very stressful and emotional time but it was the best feeling ever once it was all done and the Private View opened! Definitely worth it and I think I handled the stress and drama pretty well. One of the best experiences. We had alcohol sponsorship which was also fun...

It was such a help that our little curation team were so amazing and we worked so well together. Definitely would work with these girls on another project. Special thanks to Gabi and Kat, sticking out the cold every day, you're the best!

Depths of the Ocean

I love drawing hair and decided to try and tackle it in a different way, starting with facial hair. Since I am usually quite straightforward, I thought I would experiment with lots of mark making of hair and some of these included charcoal rubbings. I started looking at the rubbings I had made and some looked very skeleton-like. Going in this direction I started to experiment with charcoal rubbings with things purposefully to look skeleton like. I played around with the photocopier, inverting, etc, they looked like x-rays - in- keeping with the skeleton aesthetic. At some point in my experimenting they started looking like sea creatures so I decided to make it into that, and my final series is showing the process of how I got from hair to sea creatures using acetone rubbings of my experiments.
