My darling brain and I....

Woooow where do I start... well me?....So I have been told by family, close friends and of course my boyfriend what I'm like....... Loud, annoying, distracting, shy around new people, funny, caring, loving, happy, exciting, weird, total freak.....and Yes that's me...oh and of course how can I forget, we all have that evil side we don't want see ha ha.....soooooooooooooooooo I began with a lovely painting of a brain, and then decided...hym yes that shall be my lovely brain... I filled it my current thoughts, past memories, instructions my brain tells me to do,  ma thematic equations I can't even do, my little sisters asks me sums while shes doing her own, but I just slowly walk away...now that's what I call AWKWARD!

Well we all know our brain is made up of two full sections which determine hoe logic or how creative we are.
 So on the left hand side I have logic thoughts, science(not really), mathematics, language(s), and memories. On the right hand side is like an explosion really, with lose wires popping out from the brain...yes my family, close friends and Jim whose an electrician clearly think my wires are lose...so I added them in, I don't think I'm totally finished with it, and its actually fun doing my own brain.  I also used certain colours as each colour means something within my painting.

soooo enjoy looking at my brain peeps !!!

Wooo getting back on track, expanding more into the Brain work!

Since my assessments and feed back, I have starting to really look into why I'm doing the brain as my project. Why? Well a brain is not just a brain, its a strong powerful item. It is for storage and of course instructions, demands, thoughts and imagination and so much more! so I'm explore personally my own, and others brains, thoughts, and memories!... I just began to make small flowing brains and waited to see where that was going to lead....

They almost look like jelly fish, but I painted thread in colours that have certain meanings, I done one with a polystyrene balls, and two with sections from an egg box.

 

My next job I done was with the plastic brain I bought for €2!. I started doing paper maché over this to create a hard cast, so I'm still in the process of layering this. I hope when its completely dry to add thoughts and memories from various ransomers!!.

I also started working with felt! It is really interesting to work with the combination of the colours as you begin fleecing. I crossed hatched felt around a polystyrene ball and layered on the various colours I wanted to work with. When I finished fleecing two of these I cut them half open and added long rolls of fleece and inserted them into the rounded balls. 

Some examples of my ceramic work

These are just some images of ceramic work I have been working on, and been glazing. Some need to be fired, others need a second firing, and a few are still in the process of been glazed.
