Old Stuff - Faith Project




I did this at the end of second year, it was the first time id started making things, so was a bit of a turning point for me. I chose to focus on Voodoo, i made several dolls (the rest of which, for some reason, refuse to be uploaded) out of found stuff like card, sequins, wire, a stick, its held together with selotape, but you wouldnt know from the photo. I was a bit dissapoionted with the final designs, but i really like this back lit photo. The main influence was Christian Boltanski, (thanks Rose for that), i love his photography & the way he uses light and shadows, see above top.

Old Stuff - Reusable Bag Brief

I did this nearly a year ago now but i still like it so i thought id post it up here. The brief was designing a reusable bag for Saisburys, the theme i chose to focus on was the debate over free range & battery hens. I was working mainly with prints, and although my works changed a bit since then, i still enjoy this way of making images, and dont want to leave it out entirely. Iv just made reusable bags for a few christmas presents, (as i am cheap and couldnt afford real presents), they turned out pretty good. I enjoyed doing it & intend to look further into this industry as it seems to me the market for it is really growing, what with every other shop desperate to jump on the environmental bandwagon.
