Writing about my work

What should I include in my writing?

Theme and Subject matter
Context of my work
Referencing to Inspirational materials
Materials and Processes
How I used them and why?
Did they work?
How do I want an audience to view my work?
Scale and space to take into consideration.


Take #1

My overall theme of my painting process can have an umbrella term that will cover the variety of things that I take into consideration when I am producing my work. That theme would be Nature; Close up. The imagery in my painting is heavily inspired by the beauty in organic forms and materials that are often overlooked day to day. I am inspired by rural culture as it is an environment I grew up in and throughout the years explored extensively from being a kid playing in the outdoors and until now being an adult, going out and appreciating the magnificent scenes that lay on your own front door and beyond. My painting can be seen as a conservational act towards the ruining of natural landscapes and beauty. Big houses, factories and warehouses are taking over the countrysides and becoming eyesores. Most lay empty waiting to be rented out.

Maria Kulikovska

11th of October 2017 Maria Kulikovska is an artist from Ukraine, who uses her body to create amazing three dimensional sculptures. When Kulikovska did her presentation on Wednesday I found it to be very emotional. There was this woman standing infront of a number of students telling us she doesn't belong anywhere in this world. What she considered home was no longer anything but a political statement.  Displaced from her own country and Europe. Her art project "Raft CrimeA" was a representation of her not belonging on any sort of land and it was indeed a very daunting but adventurous experience for Maria.  There were many crazy and absurd stories Maria Kulikovska had to offer and I was intrigued by every single one. I personally believe all of her work she has done to date has said something about her as a person and her bravery.  There is an unsaid fire with in her that drives this motivation out of her and in resu...

Pascale Taurua | Exhibition

-
Image
I visited Pascale Taura's work at Castle Fine Art and I was absolutely blown away with her work. She approaches figurative painting making her work universal. Inspired by fashion, a feminine universe. She is attracted to showing work how one expresses themselves using such things as clothes. The clothing in her paintings are just as important as the person in her paintings. I see Taurua's work as a way of showing culture and representation, expressing individuality. Pascale Taurua commented herself saying how there is relationship there between owner and the clothing piece and how different clothing items can inflict a certain feeling. I can not help but gather there is something deeper to he work however. I believe she paints beauty and emotions in a way that can not be described. My theory is backed up with her answered question from Saatchi Art. " It’s difficult to express through words things that are so beautiful that they have no words. I can’t explain it. I have to...

Wednesday Lecture | Jasmir Creed | 6th of February

-
Image
Jasmir Creed Jasmir Creed is an artist most recently based in Liverpool, Manchester being her hometown. Studying Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Art in London. She is very much attracted to and inspired by transient places. From what I gathered about Creed she admires the short amount of time a person is in such a place but really how much that area is apart of their lives. As for instance, standing waiting for a train in a station. A pretty mundane act, repeated undoubtedly by millions. So what does this person really take in? What do they notice? Has it just became a blur a meaningless act of routine and form? There is a strong sense disorientation in her work through the use of perception and depiction, sometimes leaving you feel alienated in this big world that surrounds us. Concrete buildings, tall skylines, roads that stretch for miles and pavements that are forever winding and bending. Jasmir Creed herself claims that she is interested in the psycho-geography and that ...
