Foundation final piece 'Collections'

Bradford

I made this blog when I was applying for university and haven't used it since but here is my final piece from foundation. It was a collection of my nineteen years of life so far. What I enjoyed most about foundation was being encouraged and allowed to experiment. I learnt so much in one year. I wanted to show this in my final piece by illustrating each object in a different media to the original object and to each other. I used embroidery/textiles/screenprint/wire/film and sculpture.

Responses to 'Illustration for Text' brief

Monoprints from a brief to illustrate the short story, 'Pumping Up Napoleon'. I visited an exhibition of David Hockney's etchings, 'Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm'. I used his idea of going against the convention of illustrating the most dramatic events in a story, and focused on specific details that captured my interest. 

Illustrations of preserved beetles

Found in my local (and favourite) museum Cliffe Castle, Keighley. I wanted to communicate the beauty of the beetles in this old, forgotten cabinet.
