Brief: create a digital portfolio.

Artist Statement: Encased in a closely monitored environment, children lead a life padded with the safe assurances of parental choices. However, such care has the danger of morphing into an overbearing compulsiveness in ensuring a stable future for the child; what parents see as the profession of success could also be an embodiment of their own faded dreams, and hence they live vicariously through their children. Yet, the meticulous efforts in paving their youngsters' livelihood may not go as planned; the gulf of understanding between adult practicality and childish ignorance is indissoluble, and children, being immersed in innocence, fail to appreciate those preparations for the purposes they harbour.
The images on the boxes are in chalk pastel, and are based on modified flickr photographs.
3D aspect
- Statement of Intent for Environment 3D -
For my 3D area, i would like to look into structures of modern architecture influenced by natural forms. Experiment with reducing natural forms into architectural like structures and as well as investigate existing natural form inspired architectures. Such as The Bank of China by IEO MING PEI. Again to make use of the medias categorised as 3D, i intend to use medias such as relief, Mod-roc, photoshop, paper engineering and manipulation, to convey dimentionality. looking at artists such as RICHARD TWEENY and JANIS KERMAN, a jewellery designer whom creates delicate pieces, consisting of precious metal and gems. They take form of simple geometric shapes, carefully arranged into exquisite pieces. My initial idea for my final piece is to create an ornament based on the Bank of China, but combining aspects of my experiments into it.

This page shows work by Philip Taaffe. Using my own image to the far left i created a sample by using batique to create the gap in the middle and then painting around the edges. After cracking the wax of I stitched the pattern from my images onto the gap of the sample. The sample to the left is a tie dye and I created it by trapping buttons into the fabric.

I was enrolled in a course for image manipulation; basically this means “photoshop class.” One of our projects was to recreate a classic painting using bits of images collected from the internet and other sources. I recreated a Cézanne using separate images of apples, lemons, and other items. Each piece was manipulated in Photoshop to emulate shadowing, shape and the like. Here is the recreation.
