Spirograph Buildings . . .

Trying to move my project on to its final exam stage, of 7 - 10 weeks work, keeping the idea of stringing and spirographing, yet moving the focus away from circluar form, to buldings or geometric objects.

Crochet Bag . . .

Decided to learn the Art of Crochet through the form of a magazine, in it is a bag design and I thought I'd try it out. Not yet finished, but starting to look not to bad.

Large Layered Spirograph . . .

So I mentioned the idea of creating several possible outcomes for the current project. Well although I am experimenting in these pieces with layering, which ment hacksawing grooves into nails, not fun, they are also possible outcomes, although alot of my work I can see on a much larger scale than 30cmx30cm circles.

Photographs Evolved . . .

The photograph I had taken developed into twelve mdf discs, each bore a different surface image from the series of photos I had taken. They then under took the laborious process of weaving thread around pannel pins to create the Spirograph design I have come to love.

Photographs . . .

Coming close to the end of our project at college, and we are asked to produce possible outcomes for our work. I decided to use the idea of installation, which I had been inspired by the work of Donald Judd, Minimalist, and try and get the Spirograph into the environment. Initially i took photos of a clear Spirograph disc against different outside surfaces.

Hanging Spirographs . . .

Adding another dimension to my work I produced some hung Spirograph forms, the three black rings, were inspired by Donald Judd the founder of Minimalism, who I had not long written an essay on.

Spirograph Trees . . .

So my project was moving along nicely about the time my Dad decided to cut down a tree in our garden, so instead of wasting a good opportunity I decided to create some Spirograph shapes into the wood.

Workshops . . .

In the first few weeks at Hereford College of Arts, back in Sept 2009, I was inducted in all of the availble workshops, 3D, Ceramics, Textiles, Small Metals, Contemporary Applied Arts Workshop.

Evolving Space . . .

Studying at Hereford College of Arts, undertaking a Foundation Studies course since Sept 2009 the little space I am given has evolved alot over the past couple of months. My project is focuses on the idea of the Spirograph and links with artists such as Andy Gilmore and Lesley Halliwell.
