Sorry I have not written in my blog for a while. A mix up with my meds caused a huge blip in my daily life for a few days, only just levelling out. What I can say is, that even though I was very down, I still managed to attend my lectures, but it was not the best of times..
Anyway back to my art… I have started a number of new projects based on zoomorphic art.. at first I was under the impression that this meant art of imagines of pollen, germs etc from under a microscope. however it is Art that imagines humans as animals
Below is a brief summary of some of my works in progress
1/ I originally started making maggots and flys out of clay, however they appeared to me to be too comical for my liking, although my figures tend to be comical.
2/ A clay sculptor of a man in the foetal position covering his ears.. I liked this as it gave an impression of despair.
3/ I took the silhouette of my head and made a wooden cut out to use in an extractor. This produced a huge sausage of my head, which I then cut in to hundreds of slices. The to me fitted well, as at the time I felt like a parasite on the face of the world….. I loved that whole concept .
4/ I made clay bricks, 12 in total. Each one will have carvings and sculptors of the human form. I intend to lay the together with mortar once fired. I also looked in to saucing green bricks but this is proving difficult at this moment.
Please note all these pieces are works in progress
