Very nearly at the end of my second year at uni now, the final assessment is over, we've had the last lecture, just tidying up now and helping the third years get ready for their degree show. The year seems to have rushed past extremely quickly, I have learned a lot but this has only highlighted to me how much I still have to learn. Ah well, learning is good.

I didn't quite get what I wanted (i.e. free standing forms) from this final project; I ended up with one rather distorted free standing form, a set of 3 broken bits, and a rather nice piece which doesn't curve enough to stand by itself but miraculously slots together with the one that does. So we took what I had down to the beach again, in rather better weather this time.

While I didn't manage to control the form I am pleased with the textures and the effect of mixing the wire with the glass. And the colours are very me, and very in keeping with our beach, which 'my' colours always seem to be.

You might have noticed that I have credited my photographer; I did take some photographs but his were so much better! And at least this time he had worked out how to use the flip out screen on the camera so he didn't have to
lie on the wet sand... He will be off to college in the autumn to continue his own artistic journey; you can see some more of his work
here.
Fantastic work and beautiful photographs :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the photos - well done Russell! I know (in the rational part of my head) that you have not created enormous monoliths of glass, but there is just no sense of perspective. It's glass Stonehenge - GlassHenge? Brilliant work - and good luck for next year. I can't imagine where your work is going next, but it won't be far from the shore.
ReplyDeleteIf you look closely at the last photo you can see my footprints in the sand on the right - to give you a sense of scale ;-)
DeleteAnd no, I don't have 3 feet ;-)
DeleteThank you both :) The boy did good with the photos, I think I might have to ask him again...
ReplyDeleteThese look really stunning Helen, beautifully photographed too x

ReplyDeleteHelen they look wonderful and they are so deceptive size-wise - think you and Russell make a good team.
