okay so i havent written for a while (also i can add pictures now so lololol)

i havent been updating this blog for a while and i know thats very bad.

okay so ive been doing lots of work blah blah blah fine art is smelly.

they wont let me do portraits, and thats kindof all i do so... yeah, its not an option anymore really, which pretty much makes up my mind. i'm gonna do viscom.

in related news ive been to allot of exhibitions recently

firstly the harrier jumpjets hanging in the main hall of he tate britain are terrifying, one is hanging by just a cable and kinda swings to and fro.

ive been to the tate modern to see all of those seed  things too, they look really nice, i wish id got a chance to walk through them before the exhibition was fenced off for health and safty reasons, one of my favorioute sensations it plunging your hand into a bag of seeds.

ive been to the move exhibition at the hayward gallery which i would highly reccomend. its very fun, i went with my friend as part of the press which was a new experience for me as while i just played with everything she wrote notes and came up with some quite clever remarks, i was impressed. while there i wore a gorrilla costume and someone thought that i must be part of the show and took my picture and decided to send it to the gallery. i also showed off my hulahoopingskills, heres a quick video and pics from the day

lets make some clothes already and stuff

so yeah i havent written on this thing for a while. maily because i have nothing to say, i'm working very hard in the studio, but it seems everything i'm doing is 3d, so i got concerned i'd be steered that way come assesments. but actually the fashion ppl say that my work is illustrative :)

UPDATE: here have some pics of what i did :) some of these are pretty funny

 i did more cutouts (better ones too)

 okay, so this is cool.

 you can just tell from mackenzies face that women would love to wear my designs

 Mic, an appropriate model for the sunglasses i was worried about getting paint on them though.

OWWIE!

so this is what happens when you get sick; it huuuuuuurts :(

anyway hope to see more o chelsea real soon sucks that ive missed so much of the course already!!! :(

i hve some photos of string and stuff on my phone.... but i dont care enough about them to put them up here to be judged... hey, how bout we do some actual sculpture soon hmmm :\

sarcasticly signing off.

urban hide and seek crew

the thing about 3d spatial is that its silly....

just very silly.

lets all hand up some string and draw it!!!!

i thought i missed drawing from life but it turns out i just miss drawing figuratively.... yup thats right folks theres a difference.

hey at least i got to see sarah jessica parker from the studio window! ask mingky she has  photos.

Viscom completed: advance to level 2

so this concludes the first 'creative pathway' and i have to say that I'm allot more pleased with it this time around.

this week we had to communicate something that cant be done with words and immediately my inner schoolgirl jumped at the whole 'i cant tell him that i love him, so i'll send him a letter thing' but then almost as an afterthought Wendy said; NO LOVE STORIES!!! :( its too boring and predictable or something

so trying to connect the project back to the original idea i decided to go for I'm not in love with you, i'm obsessed with you and its creepy and you should be scared. and i started my book along these lines... but really after my first week spent in the abyss i wanted to do something more cheerful, so i made a very cartoony brainstorm of all the worst and clichéd ideas i could, just trying to choose one and do it in a really creative and unpredictable way...

i decided on; 'I'm a fish and i want to get out of my bowl'

i started by thin king of the ways that the average fish would actually be able to communicate at all with its owner, i thought of Morse code bubbles, writing on a dirty tank but then eventually realised that the fish itself wouldn't realistically be able to do any of these things. what a fish can do however is imagine...

as sappy as that sounds...

anyway so the work i settled on was an illustration of a fish imagining itself outside of its bowl... so i drew it in my sketchbook and added some colour and thought; its finished! damn what am i gonna do for the rest of the week!

anyway so i just started making all of the animals that the fish imagines himself as, out of paper. i actually hadn't done anything like that before and everyone thought i was really good at it so i just ran with it and got some really positive crit for it on Friday

ART BLOCK: UNBLOCKED!!

cant wait for 3d spacial (once i get better :(  )

a little bit thin on the ground

not enough work this week i really need to get stuck in and stop complaining about the fact that i got the abyss as my word in the first exercise. its a shame. but i shouldnt complain i came here for challenges and that what i get.... being here has just made me a less creative person... lets hope its temporary
