Feeling festive!

  Festive Spores, such great fun! 

            

Process of decay

Deconstruction/reconstruction

Experimenting with textured surfaces with
 the use of fire and how you can't control the medium, like the mold I used in other pieces of work.

These pieces are previous art works I have done where I wanted to show a different sense of no control. I love the vibrant and earthy colours it creates, which also reminds me of the vibrant colours from my mold.

Urban Decay - Experimental Process

I love working with natural materials and creating a textured surface that is still building and growing in it's own life. I started working with mold a few years ago and I loved the vibrant colors and not knowing what it's going to do next! My view of urban decay is the life of a derelict building being left to deteriorate but it's still growing within it's surroundings.

Every mold that I have grown has been completely different, the colors, textures and even the surface patterns!

Spore Prints

Here are a few experiments I have done with large open cup mushrooms and printed the spores of the mushroom onto the paper. It's a very beautiful and effective technique!

Also, I painted the background of the paper with some water color to see how effective it was with the spore prints. I found it effective but personally, the crisp white background helps the print to stand out more.

Working with rust..

 Experimenting with rust is a great way to create different textures and patterns on any surface!

Also you can arrange the objects into a image of your choice, whether it has something to do with your art work or you just want to experiment for fun!
