As a student of the UCA, I have worked in an environment where the possibilities of what I can conceive and realise in artworks have been greatly expanded. In this portfolio I want to show: a glimpse into my work-in-progress; my independent thinking and my ambition for projects that go beyond the academic minimum. Alongside coursework, this portfolio contains self-initiated explorations under the theme ‘Death of The Author’. In this process, I am discovering how intention can be relinquished in the face of an audience, and how as an artist I absolve myself from the process of creating.
I am interested in art that isn't subjective to the artist’s idioms, beginning with Koons’ vacuum cleaners, exemplified in Hirst’s work, and most recently with Weiwei’s expansive ‘ensemble’ sculptures. I see art to be continually moving away from craftsmanship and a means of personal expression, to a more manufactured way of creating characterised by a more universal code of reflection towards common subject matter. One of my favourite artists is Picasso, though it is said of artists like him that all his work is self-portraiture. I am exploring how to absolve the idiosyncrasies of my work, and let my subjects speak for themselves, as in Warhol’s famous 4d film portraits.
I have done this with my random circle canvases, where the responsibility of composition was given to a computer. Other works try to update the artworks that I love to the environment that I feel I live in – such as the woodblock-inspired, digital-looking Geisha painting, and the marble-statue-esque mannequin, revered for her consumerist example of what a customer’s body should/could look like. In these pieces I am looking at how to find balance in communicating a message; the explicitness with which I should express my themes; the simplicity that I should exercise to make it aesthetic and accessible; and retaining specificity within the simplicity, to make sure I don’t compromise clarity.
I have a broad range of influences and interests, and although I have developed an ability to resolve certain projects well, I have many unresolved components of my practice. The opportunity to study Fine Art Critical Practice at the University of Brighton, with its equal emphasis on the critical understanding of art as well as the practice, would seem ideally suited to the way I work. The fact that these disciplines benefit from being integrated by the same tutors is something that I think would be especially valuable for me.
I made this scarf last year… we don’t use scarves here that much as it isn’t cold enough even in winter You know how it is… I wanted a scarf, come hell or high water,
so I made this one with bamboo cotton mix to wear
when I went to the Sydney Crochet Coral Display…
We called it my ‘statement scarf’…
and arrogantly said if you need to ask what that means,
you won’t get it anyway… ha ha
A lady I met at the Display, told me I should call it that - she understood very well & said she had one, she wore in summertime just to make a statement... now who was I to contradict a 75 year 'worldly wise', 'young at heart', beautiful soul of a woman...

Der Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus e.V., Gruner+Jahr und die Magazine Stern und Geo präsentieren die Fotoausstellung.
Ein deutliches Statement gegen die Verfolgung von Homosexuellen in Russland ist zum weltweit besten Pressefoto des Jahres gewählt worden. Die Jury des Wettbewerbs World Press Photo zeichnete den dänischen Fotografen Mads Nissen mit dem renommierten Preis aus. Er fotografierte das schwule Paar Jon und Alex in einem intimen Moment in Sankt Petersburg. Das Foto ist Teil eines größeren Projekts des Fotografen zum Thema "Homophobie in Russland".
Das Foto nehme auf eindrückliche Weise Stellung zu einem universalen Thema, begründete die Jury ihre Wahl. Für Homosexuelle, Lesben, Bisexuelle und Transgender werde das Leben in Russland zunehmend schwieriger. "Sexuelle Minderheiten werden mit rechtlicher und sozialer Diskriminierung konfrontiert, Verfolgung und sogar gewalttätigen Hass-Verbrechen von konservativen religiösen und nationalistischen Gruppen", heißt es in dem Bericht der Jury.
"Dieses Foto hat eine große ästhetische Kraft und zeigt Menschlichkeit", sagte die Vorsitzende der Jury Michele McNally, Direktorin für Fotografie der New York Times. „Gewalttätige Bilder werden heute von Terroristen für Propagandazwecke produziert. Unsere Antwort darauf muss subtiler ausfallen“ sagt das Jurymitglied Alessia Glaviano.
Die Jury wählte aus rund 98.000 Fotos aus 131 Ländern die Sieger aus. Preise wurden in acht Kategorien an 42 Fotografen vergeben. Die Siegerfotos werden in einer Ausstellung ab April in Amsterdam und anschließend in über 40 Ländern gezeigt. Vom 5. bis zum 28. Juni werden sie im Willy-Brandt-Haus in Berlin ausgestellt.

GRAND OPENING World Press Photo, Willy-Brandt-Haus, Berlin 2015
The Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus e.V., Gruner+Jahr and the magazines Stern and Geo present the photo exhibition.
A clear statement against the persecution of homosexuals in Russia has been voted the world's best press photo of the year. The jury of the World Press Photo competition awarded the prestigious prize to Danish photographer Mads Nissen. He photographed the gay couple Jon and Alex in an intimate moment in Saint Petersburg. The photo is part of a larger project by the photographer on the subject of “Homophobia in Russia”.
The jury justified its choice by stating that the photo impressively addresses a universal topic. Life in Russia is becoming increasingly difficult for homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. “Sexual minorities face legal and social discrimination, persecution and even violent hate crimes from conservative religious and nationalist groups,” the jury's report states.
“This photograph has great aesthetic power and shows humanity,” said jury chair Michele McNally, director of photography at The New York Times. “Violent images today are produced by terrorists for propaganda purposes. Our response to this must be more subtle,” said jury member Alessia Glaviano.
The jury selected the winners from around 98,000 photos from 131 countries. Prizes were awarded to 42 photographers in eight categories. The winning photos will be shown in an exhibition in Amsterdam from April and then in over 40 countries. They will be exhibited at the Willy Brandt House in Berlin from June 5 to 28.

Statement:
Cultural identity of the designer is a universal source of inspiration in the realm of fashion design. These two designs were specifically inspired by Korean culture. The form, shape, color, and fabric of traditional Korean costumes were used. The main purpose of designs is to provide fashion designers with new ideas regarding the transformation of a garment and the adoption of natural dye in order to enhance sustainability and infuse
traditional Korean costume design, women’s costume in the late Chosun Dynasty, into a modern garment design. The garment was considered to achieve sustainability as following.
Blossom was inspired by the form and color of Korean traditional costume. Constant interval pleats located in the waistline were inspired by the chima, a woman’s skirt during the Chosun Dynasty. The garment was dyed with Korean safflower seed and grapes. The dress
was hung vertically, and the edges of the bottom sides of the dress were dipped into the grape dye tanks. This method led to the natural acquisition of gradation effects and the production of minimized effluents after dyeing.
