Lake District Natural Sculptures

During a trip to the Lake District I wanted to get interactive within my environment by creating pieces of Art using the things I found around me. My inspiration comes from Andy Goldsworthys fantastic natural pieces he makes.

Wythenshawe Park Sculptures

I created a sculpture in Wythenshawe park using a metal frame work I found in the junk yard in the park. I wanted to create a "Cone of Plenty" shape and weave branches, grass and bits of woodland I found into it.

Busy Guitar

Acrylic Paints

With this piece I wanted to steer away from using one colour to define an object. I looked at the guitar and waited for the colours to jump out, colours that were hidden within the wood of the guitar. This is my representation of the colours I saw within it.

Dark Side of Fairy Tales

This is a maquette I made as I was experimenting with ideas of how to present my idea.

Final Piece - Card Sculpture

I wanted to create a piece with a bit of a theme from Pop Art & a bit of Surrealism incorporated within it. This is a 3D piece inspired by dioramas and pop up books. Su Blackwell was a huge inspiration to my work and the pieces she creates with paper and books.  The idea stemmed from Pop Art being very flat, colourful pieces and I wanted to create a contradictive approach by using basic, bold colours and bringing the piece alive by making it 3D
