2009 art coursework on parents living vicariously through their children. Polymer clay, chalk pastel, readymades.
The title of the piece in the images is PG: Playing God.
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. photo by Fiona Cher.
In groups we were asked to create an installation in our given space about different themes. our group chose Waste and The Environment. So we looked at different things that are wasted and we don't even think about most of the time. money, electricity, paper, glass, recycling. All these different aspects combined together.

Here i put paint onto a mirror and then put a tap ontop and made my camera have a very quick shutter speed to capture the deatil or the water, the tap looks like ice.
Made from newspaper and old quality street wrappers, and the bow is made from a shopping bag. This dress was based on 'Recycling'
Chester's experiments with print plate making on the beach. As part of his A Level Art & Design course work that deals with 'process and materials'.
His coursework task is to design and create a set of stamps. The brief for the project is 'Natural Forms', Chester has decided to use a 'rockpool' theme for his stamps.
Using my photos I created the pattern that I have then repeated it three times. I Printed two of my images onto material, which is in the style of Philip Taaffe. I then used the strings for the outline of one of them and got the idea from Jan Beaneys work. To create the background I trapped buttons in the fabric and also crumpled up the fabric together and held it with elastic bands.

Coursework for ACA module, week 1.
My idea was to make the pendulum seem like a part from a fairly big clock, to have a solid amount of weight. At the same time I didn't want to make it look like a demolition ball swinging of a crane.
I think it worked out well, especially with the pull on the object holding the pendulum.

I decided to go with an arrow barrage. I was wondering if the target should fall down with the last shot, but decided it would make the arrows(the last arrow only) look too heavy.
Other possible outcomes could have included:
An arrow splitting an arrow that is already stuck on the target.
The target moving to avoid the arrows, but getting hit by the last one.(there are no defined limbs or face, so reacting to the shot would have been very difficult to express)
I kind of like the way the arrows that are already stuck respond to the new hits at the target, but... it's still far from looking natural.

I decided to make the target raise up, whip and slap the ball quickly. In order to show the "raise and whip" action during a single object's flight, I decided on using a slow-motion style to have time to clearly display the action and to enforce the feeling of a very quick whip. I'm not entirely happy with the target staying down after the slap, but I didn't want it to go back to it's initial position either :/
This was my final piece for coursework in A2 in the project. I looked at the power of the eyes and how its the only way you can express your self if your wearing a burka or a mask.
Summer Coursework project - 'Six photos about me'
I took photos objects found in the house I've lived all my life, edited them using purely iphone apps, wrote aspirations on them and finally sewed into them.
:)
Originally shoot on Canon 550d then scanned.
Chester has also made imprints in the sand and cast them to make print plates. Here the plaster has set and he's washing a print plate in the sea.
