Stereotypes
I have exhibited an installation based on the idea of a travel guide. The inner layer of the structure holds four monoprint books that explain stereotypes in four different countries. This information was collected by surveys I sent to people in different parts of the world. The monoprints used to create the books are each based on buildings from the towns and cities my survey takers are from. The outside squares introduce maps from each of the countries I have looked at, layered with more monoprints based on traditional African patterns. The holes in these square hangings are to allow light to pass through, highlighting different areas of the installation.

Kinetic
I am interested in kinetic machinery and different contraptions people have made that move on their own to complete a task. With this in mind I found the artist Rube Goldberg who was a cartoonist, sculptor, engineer, and inventor. He is best known for making drawings of complex machinery performing simple tasks, coined as a rube Goldberg Machine. A Rube Goldberg Machine can be classified by any chain reaction type machine that is designed to perform simple tasks in an indirect way.

Retro-Futurism
My work is a demonstration of my development in digital art, experimenting in various colouring and drawing techniques, and gradually settling into my own style. I’m forever fascinated by the fluctuating world and so my theme focused on how technology has evolved and how we’ve changed with it. Retro-futurism is captivating as it shows the depictions of the future based on current social situations. Once, people’s predictions of the future were optimistic, they were genuinely excited at the prospect of change. This has since drastically changed as people began to be more self aware and focus on the pollution and corruption of the planet that came with advancing technology. Art started to represent society’s growing cynicism and suspicion and visions of the future grew dark. My work consists of multiple studies of films and artists, inspiring me to create my own characters and a retro-futuristic machine for a potential animation, in conjunction with an audio excerpt.

Speakeasy
I have created a definite visual vocabulary that draws from collective recognition, and the imagery is synonymous between the various media. I enjoy the process of layering ideas in ways that spontaneously generate narrative, then continuing those narratives in conscious directions. The infinite depth of every medium allows me to flesh out nuanced concepts in each respective area of study, and each then informs my development in another.

I have been exploring global shopping habits when it comes to shopping and wearing clothes your actions can change everything consider whether you need to buy anything at all. Can you give existing clothes a new lease on life? You don't need to boycott new clothes, but you should become a more demanding customer: demand better quality clothes that afford a better quality of life to the people who make them. Demand that each item you choose to buy was made in dignity and made to last.

AS BLACK AS PAPER
My fmp was an installation of a film projected onto hanging posters made from recycled materials. In the film I shot areas of Ipswich town centre that caught cultural differences and settings, dystopian type buildings and urban environments. To accompany this I contacted a local rapper RZ$inatra to compose a spoken word piece, alongside me. The message of the piece was to paint out how growing up black in the UK can feel, the goods and bads, in a poignant way that was heartfelt and meaningful.

I am exploring the way an artist connects with their environment, and in return how the viewer interacts with the art. I am inspired by my surroundings and the landscapes around me, urban and natural. How our environments and art have been a solace to me throughout the past years lockdown. Our challenges and interaction with people through art regardless of our physical separation.

No Ideal
I have exhibited a collection of figure sculptures which I have used to explore the figure and the process in making a 3D piece. With my theme being figures, I have explored different ways to create a sculpture. This included me researching Giacometti and his use of armatures which I used for most of my outcomes. Throughout my project I was investigating the process and benefits of using different materials. It became equally about the structural building of a sculpture just as much as the figure itself. I have used a range of materials such as; monster clay, paper Mache and air drying clay. I found that monster clay produced the best results for the minimal figures I made.

I want to look into the less renowned areas such as the transition of old architecture such as public galleries to meet the needs of the present day, more of what’s behind the building's development within the 21st century. My final painting conveys how the architecture of St Paul’s has integrated itself into the modern day society.

Vanitas & Narrative In Medium
I have produced and exhibited a collection of works that examine symbolism (within Vanitas), whilst also exploring the relationship between narrative and medium. Initially inspired by the 1960’s Italian ‘Arte Povera’ movement, I looked at the interrelation between materials used and concepts within works, with particular focus on the use of everyday objects - this lead me to create a number of conceptual ready-mades using non-traditional and everyday (found) materials. After investigating concepts and association of materials, I began to think about symbolism and other meanings of objects. The 17th century Vanitas style still life, observes the vanity and transience of life. The association of items found in vanitas correlated with my inquiry of concept/meaning behind everyday objects - Vanitas symbolism, includes everyday objects that have symbolic meanings. For example: rotting fruit represents decay and ageing, and jewellery represents the vanity and irrelevance of wealthy pleasures.
Bringing my ideas together, I created a body of work that looks at my own modern take on Vanitas, whilst also incorporating the use of everyday objects to create art. I have produced four vanitas paintings and two sculptures using a range of different materials and styles.

Patterns
Throughout this year at college I have created various different outcomes which have mainly been focused on self-reflection of mood and behaviour during lockdown. I looked at masks we hide behind or create for other people and how the world sees us. I also researched emotions and mental health and created a self-image of a mask with my own personal demons hidden behind it.
For my final major project I have exhibited a sculpture which is a demonstration of patterns built around us. I researched patterns in nature such as animal print and the Fibonacci sequence and even the DNA all living things are made of. I also looked at patterns us as humans have created such as; routines in everyday life, addictions we may have such as alcoholism or drug abuse, violence and pollution. I also looked at emotions which are linked to certain behaviours and the body language associated with depression or happiness. I used these ideas to come up with some shapes of my own and first created 2d paper cut outs which evolved into the 3d sculpture for my final piece. I used lino prints to cover the shapes with repetitive images that link to other patterns that may be created. We are all different in so many ways but the patterns we incorporate in our individual lives do give us many similarities also.

Our Coastline
I have exhibited a series of watercolours, a large scale painting in addition to a sculpture. My sculpture incorporates all of the natural inspirations that I have found, for example the energy from the sea represented by fused glass, its force contributing to the erosion at places such as Covehithe. This is a special place where saltwater meets freshwater, the soft sandy soil is rapidly eroding by over five metres every year, leaving a graveyard of trees scattered along its shoreline, these are represented in the piece by the weathered oak containing the stained glass windows from the many Churches lost to the sea and those under threat. The Churches were an unexpected influence, but they have become increasingly important because of their significance in our society, exposing the foundation of our history, celebrations, worship, mourning and vulnerability. I have come to understand that the relationship between land and sea is a fragile existence.

Elevating Visuals with Music
My project has been based on the relationship between music and visuals. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to create pieces of music that would elevate the emotion of my digital artworks. My initial research led me to look at many aquatic visuals and the music that is paired with them. The music that carried the narrative and emotional resonance of the visuals behind the likes of the documentary Blue Planet II or the video game ABZU, massively inspired my final pieces. I have finished the project with 3 pieces of artwork paired with 3 pieces of music, each of which tells a different story. The music I wrote impersonates the environment of the ocean through aleatory techniques and syncopated rhythm/melody. The artworks are heavily influenced by the research I did into multiple different artists and media, film being a major influence, but also fine artists, photography, and even ballet. My desire for escapism is the drive behind each of these artworks as they depict fantasy-esk environments. As an aspiring concept artist for the film/game industry, the digital paintings I created for my FMP have the same essence of that of a piece of concept art.
