Here are a few images of my work from the things that I've been working on so far. I've been doing quite a bit of reading about women's roles in society, both past and present, and about the suffragettes and have tried to incorporate this into my work. Experimenting with materials such as embroidered lace, wood and metallic objects, I've tried to create both a visual and symbolic contrast. I'm in the middle of playing around with scale and hope to make some really big pieces together with tiny ones to gain an insight into the importance scale plays in the reading of objects.

New term at the art school

This term I've decided to keep on working with wood and other found materials such as metal and various street found objects. Handy for keeping down material costs, but also for experimenting with how different materials change the way a piece is read. Louise Nevelson has spoken extensively on her use of wood, and how she used wood collected from the streets surrounding her home. She mentions how the wood has already experiened a life and takes on another when used in her sculptures - transformed and reused.
