Another step forward

OK, I am now on my journey working with brains and snakes in my project..... the only thing is alot of my documentation of my work is missing due to my camera been mislaid on our class trip home from the Dublin comtemporary!...so ill try post any work that is relevant to date....

Anyways My ceramic pieces that i have been working on survived the Kiln . I am now in the process of glazing/ colouring them which have become a good success so far. I am also working on other ceramic brains but with more experimentation to show my sequential development. These few have yet to be fired and when they are it will give me more time to sketch ideas and to glaze my other pieces of work.

I have also started working with other materials and mediums with my theme brains and snakes.... I made a jelly brain from a plastic cast i added snakes into the jelly... the result: too watery  so it kinda collapsed but looks like a real one.
..... i also made a cast out of clay and used hot wax, my darling  sister(beauty therapist) let me use this wax and her wax pot..... which turned out really interesting as the grooves looked like snakes! I done a small sample in my sketch book too.

My next plan is to work with fabric such as fleece, and knitting work which would give some nice effects, the artist I'm looking into linked to my project at the moment is Marjorie Taylor !!


bye for now ('',)
