Ready for the summer!!!!

Posted on Posted in Animals, Miscellaneous, PeopleTagged , , , , , , Leave a comment

So as it’s slowly being revealed to you all I do like to make stuff, now I don’t consider myself fashionable but as cliche as it sounds I have a passion for fashion. (you can’t hear me but I’m laughing my shame away just at the thought of writing that) Anywho I’m getting ready for summer but the geist informed me round Christmas time that it was time for dungarees; to mask my shame I never told anyone that I bought a pair until now of course because the excitement for summer has taken over. These were a pair I bought on ebay from jellybellyvintageleeds. They were full length but I wasn’t a fan of the bagginess, So I committed murder and chopped up the bottom half and tailored it to a perfect fit. This was in January. The frustration from cutting, sewing, pricking and bleeding several times made me take a well deserved break from the nonsense. But it gave me time to think of what else I could do with it. So I took a trip down memory lane and remembered that during my trip back to Zambia I bought various fabrics back with me to see what I could do with them. And as if I was getting pimp-slapped, the idea came and inspiration with obsession and determination and the zeal to defeat my dungaree grief, took over and I finished my mini project. Always wanted a pair of dungarees as a kid and now I HAVE THEM >:`D  (scar for extra added evil) ah I’m so 90s.

Origution

SO I made my own stop motion animation which turned out to be…… the exact opposite to how I first envisioned it -_-”

But hey GarageBand is officially my favorite thing at the moment. Now I just need a mac, oh art why to you put a price on quality -__-

Site Specific

Posted on Posted in Miscellaneous, PeopleTagged , , , , , , , Leave a comment

So to kick-start our second semester we are yet again paired up in groups of two creating work; our first topic is site specific. Now of course there are many ways we could interpret this  but we had to stick to the very basic understanding of the term ‘Site SPECIFIC’. This time I’ve been partnered up with Fred Conybeare-cross (thank you facebook) an amazing artist who has a traditional mind set so we gel well. Fred took pictures of the environment surrounding our campus building and found this great building with an overhang supported by nothing, so it was like a scene when you hear a heavenly choir humming in the background as you stare at the highlighted answer to your prayer O_O” We then began to think of ideas of how we could create work under this space, started sketching and came up with the same idea!!!!! and this was the outcome. I didn’t collect Fred’s shots but here’s my amateur attempt once again.

Circles The Video

Posted on Posted in MiscellaneousTagged , , , , 2 Comments

As you all know I’m a HUGE FAN of Marcel Duchamp, so for my video workshop I decided to re create my own version of the famous ‘Anemic Cinema’ Of course Duchamp’s piece is not even worth being mentioned with my video, but I decided to have fun, only had an afternoon to complete this so yeah 😀 This is the drawing I scanned, edited…. and VERY BASICALLY animated 😛

Coffin

Posted on Posted in MiscellaneousTagged , , , , 4 Comments

So I went into the studios today to hand in a staple gun, had a convo with Ryan who then pointed me to the direction of an artist call to decorate a coffin with the theme of angels. Which makes sense, as one of the reasons I’m painting circles is the fact that I read the passage in Ezekiel (10), which includes a detailed description of  winged creatures accompanied  by spinning wheels with many eyes. Yeah I’m that artist now, casually painting coffins…. 😀

So to kick start our 2 Semester Sam and Tom decided to make a sculptural installation made up of easels, frames and paint. I must say I did like the outcome and the view from widows contributed to the piece in a weird and wonderful way. I love the linear patterns created by the easels in contrast with the zigzag formations created by the frames. These two will do great things together, I just can’t wait to see what they get up to next 😛 Sam’s on WordPress:  samcleasby.wordpress.com and Tom has a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/tpjamesbrown check it out! 😀

Filament 14

Posted on Posted in Miscellaneous, PeopleTagged , , , , , Leave a comment

So I’M BACK AT BROOKES!!!! So happy to be near art again O_O” Now we all know as an artist it’s great to get your name out there, so Magdalen Road Studios kick started a new project called Filament 14, a residency whereby new artists get a taste of the real “art world” creating works of art and exhibiting it in the same space. So Jean Wykes was the first Brookes student to start the residency and to support Jean I thought I’d show a small snippet of the work she had up in the studio. The rest of her exhibition included a performance and a video piece on the history of Cowley Road, a well-known road here in Oxford, great restaurants, bars and cafes with influences from everywhere around the world, it’s like the centre of student life here! So Jean had an installation of triangles set in a uniform pattern that gradually broke down into individual pieces, representing the diverse cultural identities found in Cowley 😀 I’ll be part of a collective making work in the same space 😀 Can’t Wait!

Chitenge Jacket

Posted on Posted in MiscellaneousTagged , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I’ve always been a fan of Yinka Shonibare, Looking back at my Foundation journal I noticed that I read an article on his artwork, I cannot remember where but I remember catching a glimpse of his costumes made up entirely of African textiles and was amazed at the sheer volume and and detail of his work. A part of me always wanted a Chitenge jacket, but I still don’t know where to get one (mostly due to my picky attitude towards clothing). I’ve only ever made tiny garments and that was only during my fashion pathway week during my foundation year. SO I’M DETERMINED TO MAKE MYSELF ONE. Of course I’m lazy; so short cuts have to be made. So I raided my wardrobe and found two suit jackets I used to wear back in A-level (3 years ago O_O oh time) coupled with my boredom I thought why not practice first? So for some reason I want to hand stitch it all on….. to say the least I did the collar and gave up -_- I’m going to have to find some form of motivation to kick start the next project as the collar alone took me 3 hours! Somehow I’m liking the collar on it’s own so I’m thinking of leaving the Jacket as it is 😀

The Scarf?

Posted on Posted in MiscellaneousTagged , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, God Bless. Came back from a great church service and couldn’t sleep so I thought I’d update my blog. I’ve been bored so for the past three days I’ve been knitting; I always do something crafty before a big art project. I plan to paint something big probably a tiger. Anyway I had planned to make a scarf and was willing to knit for 10 days straight just to finish it; then the repetition of it all got to me and I couldn’t take anymore, so I was left with a pathetic piece of knitted fabric. I still wanted something to keep my neck warm… So I made what I can only describe as a snood? The end result is actually better than a scarf I feel, I may have to make more probably try out different colours. BUT I’M NOW READY TO PAINT 😀
