The final outcome of my wall with crepidotus mollis mushrooms.

Timber, Mdf, Paint, Plaster, Newplast and Oil Paint

All my stuff ready for assessment hopefully haven’t forgotten anything!

I’ve been making a wall and wanted to show some of the starting aspects before the mushrooms had been completely made and the wall finished. Initially I was going to present mushrooms in the wall where you can look through holes to see them but decided against it for now….

More book sculptures, seeing how it works without paintings and stages of growth in mushrooms.

My studio at the moment starting to fill it up. About to make another piece on a really large scale :)

Void Exhibition, the sculptures before they were put in the box.

Piece of work for exhibition VOID. The theme was white and our interpretation of that and the word void. I built a 1.8m by 0.60m box with built in compartments where there is bright mushrooms inside encouraging people to look around the piece.

This project is to create a set of instructions that enables another artist to produce a piece of work. The project involves 10 students from 4 different universities who are then randomly paired together. The instructions can take any form and it is important to follow them carefully and accurately resulting in both of us making separate pieces of work. 

These are the instructions I received and my response to them: 

 *   Do not attempt to edit or censor what comes out during the creative process.

 *   Do not think of what anybody, apart from yourself, may think of the artwork.

 *   Take a chosen selection of sketchbook studies, small paintings, drawings, diagrams or found imagery you have already collected. Think of how they relate to one another.

 *   Collage them onto a blank piece of wood or material you deem suitable.

 *   Continue to develop the piece and your ideas with acrylic or oil paint or appropriate materials. Do not be afraid of ruining what you have already got.

 *   Do not be precious.

 *   Examine your thoughts and feelings throughout making the artwork take any words, symbols, drawings or diagrams which come to mind and include them in the work.

 *   Stop when you feel you have expressed what you wanted to express. Leave the painting for one or two days and come back to it.

 *   Reflect on what has happened and make any finishing touches.

Otherworlds exhibition, just some photos of the work I put in. All plasticine sculptures that are painted with oil or acrylic.
