Yeah, all done. Well at least it is on my part anyway. Alison is dealing with everything else. We arranged the security blanket today, I’m really happy with the presentation. I forgot to put my contact details on the statements so Alison is going to add that for me. I’m starting to feel really nervous about it now, I know, even more than I was before. I’m really happy with it but I’m dreading having to talk about my work, I’m especially worried that I’ll be asked something I can’t answer. Tomorrow I’m in work until 2 so at least I’ll be kept busy. I’m really pleased that I’ve managed to get hold of most of my friends and they’re coming, it’s so nice to have their support.
I still haven’t printed my business cards, that’s the only job on my list now.
Contour Book
For this book I was experimenting with the idea of fusing the landscape with the human body. I was about to embark on a project trip to Utah and was planning ideas for a book.
Untitled Cell installation
These cells where produced by screen-printing from paper stencils. By using only two stencils to produce this work the printing process was very fast, completing all the cells images in one day. This printing process was used purposely to mimic the way cells multiply. The later process of cutting and gluing all the cells to become 3D weren’t quite as quick though!
Talking Landscapes
‘Mapping the West’ was a collaborative book project between WMC BA fine art print students and BYU students in Utah. We were given a map of the Escalante Region and a project brief. This asked us to produce a book whilst visiting Utah that would be based on a camping trip to Escalante with the BYU students. The books were required to open no larger than the map and when the pages were folded they should fold down to the size of the folded map.
I found the whole two week experience to be both challenging and exciting but especially the camping trip. With a visit to Bryce Canyon, the Petrified Forest, devils garden and a five mile hike to Calf Creek Canyon I experienced unusual places and new landscapes, new foods, new friendships and a whole range of feelings.
Talking landscapes is about my experience of this journey and my adventure. The book fuses together the topography of this astonishing environment with the contours of the body and with our on the road conversations that took place over the length of the camping trip to Escalante. Mostly meaningless snippets to anyone else, that is full of memories for me.
