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.

This was one of the photos from a photoshoot I did for my photography unit, focussing on light and shadow. It was also really visually interesting, due to the henna decorating her hands in front of her face. (2/06/23)

After yesterday's photo, introducing the series, here's a shot of the frames ready to go into college tomorrow. I finished all the work to go with it tonight,
For my classwork, using felt_tip_felon's light box, a box of straws, some crayons, and 2 flashguns! (plus 2 assistants!!!)
Over 20 layers of paint and detail, covered by thick white paint, leaving two main qualities behind. The paint has been moulded and sculpted to form energy and to reveal history. A lot of my personal emotion went into this painting and the white paint covers this, signifying closure.
At the top of the page is a study which I have done for my current Fine Art project of one of Dave McKean's illustrations. I did this study in Acrylic paints as they are thick and allow texture.
Below is a study of Gerald Scarfe's illustration as part of Pink Floyd's The Wall. I chose to paint this in inks as they are much more vibrant in colour compared to normal watercolours, and they also allowed me to use a less time-consuming and looser technique to recreate the effect similar to the original.
