I Like Remodel @ The Walker Gallery

For this project, I would like to create something to do with families and memories. So far I have been looking through my own memories of family and asking people about their thoughts on their family and what family is to them. I will be looking at the idea of tangled thoughts and patchy memories through a series of paintings and dada poetry pieces. The paintings I am thinking about doing, I am thinking about doing then on a calico type material or aida material, these paintings will be done in watercolour and based on my own family but they will be faceless so they can connect to anyone and this also will get the audience questioning about the emotions of the piece  . I will also be adding a bit of textiles to these paintings using the threads for the idea of tangled thoughts. The dada poetry will be based on the responses I get from social media about peoples thoughts on family, making these responses into dada poems will show the idea of confusion and memories getting missed up.

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.

Izziyana Suhaimi

Singapore-based artist Izziyana Suhaimi introduces embroidered accents to her carefully rendered pencil and watercolor illustrations. Patterns of flowers unfold much like a tapestry across the paper canvas creating pieces she refers to as “evidence of the hand and of time.” For her series The Looms in Our Bones Suhaimi focuses mostly on fashion acessories where scarves, hats, and other clothing is depicted in thread, while she also uses the same techniques for more abstract shapes and designs . From her artist statement: " Embroidery for me is a quiet and still act, where each stitch represents a moment passed. The building of stitches then becomes a re presentation of time passing and the final work is like a physical manifestation of time – a time object. Each stitch is also a recording of the maker’s thoughts and emotions. I enjoy the duality of embroidery, in its movements of stabbing, cutting, covering, building, repairing, taking apart. Every stitch made see...
