So I’ve been thinking recently... a lot. Dangerous I know.
But I’ve been thinking about the act of sharing your artwork with the world. Sometimes I put things on here and often forget that people may read them, and recently a few things have happened to remind me that...

Just a few of my favourite bits so far.
I'm having bit of a re-think about my work and might change things up bit but i do think these elements have certain things about them that i might continue with.

Starting to bring elements together and think about how the 2D and 3D things i have been exploring could potentially be used together. I think the soft crochet and the line drawings work well together, in particular the messy line underneath the crochet form as it hint...

This is a redevelopment of the very basic pewter cast of rope i did last semester. I wanted to try and confuse the hard/soft contrast in my work in a different way, transforming something that was created soft into something that is hard. Aesthetically i feel these are...
