My Final Piece...

Here's my final piece in its exhibition space at various stages of completion. It took about four days in all to put up, what with filing down the holes, making sure the tubes fitted, wrapping them with paper, a couple of which I had screen printed myself, making the screen and all the finishing bits and pieces. Overall, though, I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, hopefully it's fun and engaging but with darker twists on classic characters.

Some of the images I was able to screen print.

The final board with wrapping paper before it's been trimmed.

My Final Exhibition Plan...

We spent a session at college sketching and making models of how we would present out final pieces at the exhibition. Here's what I came up with.

OK, so the idea was to have a board with about a dozen holes cut into it with a series of tubes inserted which each depict a scene from a Shakespeare play. The other board would have a large window cut out of it which could be used for shadow puppets - so the viewers could make their own stories with the characters.

This is how the boards turned out after three days of sawing, filing and painting.

Overall, I'm quite pleased.

3D Work

Examples of a few 3D experiments I did with tubes and cubes.

An experiment looking at the relationship between childhood and death, both of which are natural and inevitable parts of life.
