Patterns

Being advised to sign off of work because of stress and exhaustion is such a great feeling.
Being told by my parents that i have nothing to be stressed or exhausted about is also great... because to them my sister is the only one who is effected by stress... i love my sister but i get stressed as well.

Worrying about money all the time is also a fucking great feeling. Being told that i cannot be supported financially or get my travel covered in my third year, my most important year is such an amazing feeling. Telling the people around me i am struggling and to be told education is for the rich! feels amazing!

Being told your whole life you need to know what you want to do, finally finding your purpose, finding yourself and then being told you cannot do it feels great!

I am finding this is effecting my art in a way, my draw to repetition i.e. repeat pattern is connected to what feels like a mundane, repetitive life. And the only spark of light is art. So maybe i should take a step back not just in art but in my life. Break the block that is preventing progression... but how?

Starting experimenting with photography

After looking into the work of Henry Weston i decided to try and experiment,first, with negative space. It was something that stood out to me a lot in some of his work, as i spoke about in my report. i started by just taking a few pictures as i noticed it around me. I think these are a very interesting start and have a lot of potential, i decided to play around with the editing a bit by cropping them, changing the contrast and making them black and white.  i like this image and i think composition wise it works. i also think it looks good in black and white as it has gotten rid of the chance of clashing colours and sets a different kind of mood. The subject is in focus and it looks quite sharp. I cropped it a little and changed the contrast and exposure.  i prefer this image to the top one as i like the spacing between the feet compared to the first one i think it is more visually pleasing, i also rotated this image just as an experiment. ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...
