A peek of my own photograms and voile mittens




These aren't the best pictures in the world of my work, but I hope they show the sort of things I have been working on, I'm hoping to develop the voile mittens in some way, perhaps by stitching onto them? Keep posted for some better images and developed ideas!

Some new work...on glass













I've been recreating the same images that I created using the photograms method, on glass. I love the shadows created and the fragility of the images, the hanging glass also looks quite procarious, which I love too, even though they are totally safe!

Developed 'Business Cards'

Ive been doing a bit more work on some of the orignal business cards I made, by adding buttons to them. I'm a collector of many a thing, buttons being one of them, so I have plenty to use up!

Plaster 'Photograms'




These images are inspired from my research into photograms. After creating my own actual photograms, I wanted to go back to using materials I am more familiar with, mainly plaster. The garments in the images are of baby mittens and cardigans, I hope to evoke an eerie sense childhood and childhood memories.


Photograms


I have been researching photograms for my current project...I love their ghostly appearance, I've started to make some of my own too....Updates soon!

Business Cards??






I've been working on some different ideas for business cards...using luggage tags and my trusty old typewriter!

Sketchbooks

















Here are some samples from a few of my recent sketchbooks...to give you a taster of how I work :)
