Mini Degree Show:Exhibtion


       
For this project, I decided to carry on with the "fail" project and looked more carefully in to the word fail. I carried on with the technique I was using with in the fail project looking at patchy memories and tangled thoughts and emotion. I really enjoyed this project because I worked in the way I like to work with all materials spread out around me and producing work at quiet a fast pace.




 
 For my final piece for this project, I decided to work with thread, emulation, acrylic and charcoal on a big piece of calico. I took this piece out of my A6 sketchbook and increased the size by 20x roughly. I didn't really think about time when I was doing this piece because I was just having fun with it and getting carried away until it came to making the thread thicker which ended up taking about 5 rolls of black thread because I wanted to make the piece similar to the piece in my book.
 



The task after that was to find a place to display the piece for the mini degree show exhibition in the show space. I was looking at putting it above a door way or something so all the threads are dangling and people would get tangled in all the threads but then when I looked at other places I decided to display the piece on to a window because I liked how the sun light contrasted with my piece and how it always looked different because the light was always changing. I think that if I had more time , I think I would create a series of them but looking at different scale and dark colours.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza´s characteristic use of crafts such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery combined with other media on her artistic work, bestow a poetic quality to depictions of plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times. Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú , Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality. Her laborious use of traditionally feminine handicraft has become her trademark, where her interest was centered initially on depictions of herself and the relationship with her body and in Animales Familiares  on the liaison of herself and her relation with others by the use of animal metaphors. Through photographs the artist recently has registered spaces she inhabited for long periods of time. With this technique, her experiences were depicted in an image; printed on paper as foot...

3D: ready made

3D art has height, width and depth and is mainly associated with ceramics, sculpture and anything that can be held. For this project we was asked to get in to pairs and find out each others likes and dislikes, a bit like a speed dating session but we had to make a list about it. I wasn't in for this little exercise so I asked my step dad so that I could get on with the work. After doing that little exercise we had to pick something to create of the list so I picked 2 things which were sports and Vespa's, so I decided to make little Vespa's out of news paper that was all about sports. I kind of struggles with this project because I wasn't in to hear exactly what to do but I feel like it went alright in the end, I quiet like the little series I did because they wasn't perfect but it kind of shows what I wanted it to show.

Sheena Liam

Artist Sheena Liam  has a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted approach to embroidery. Favouring female subjects, with a focus on flowing hairstyles, Liam creates unique portraits of women and girls with thread tresses that cascade from the canvas. Each portrait is created using black thread, culminating in a collection of works reminiscent of simple yet exquisitely rendered line drawings. While the majority of each embroidered image lays flat, the subject's hair falls loosely from her face, adding a touch of three-dimensionality to an otherwise uniform surface. Thanks to the thread's versatility, Liam is able to experiment with a range of hairstyles, from perfectly coiffed braided pigtails to loosely tied top-knots.     As a nod to the traditional craft, Liam uses an embroidery hoop to complete each inventive piece. In some cases, the figures' hair even extends beyond the frame, conveying the ar...
