Things I've been working on lately

 The 2 "plates" above are what I showed for the last crit. The 4 pictures under are some of the experiments leading to them...

Back in school!

So good to be back in school and especially to have access to all the great workshops!
This is my first experiment and I see much potential for further development so stay tuned!
The casts are made in rubber and are wonderfully disgusting to touch and look at!

My insect collection...

 I've managed to get my hands on all these lovely insects over the summer - now all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do with them...something great I think :)

Summer project

Hello again everyone.
After a long summer of complete silence on this blog I'm back (and planning to upload pictures of what I'm doing a bit more often this coming year although I shouldn't promise anything as it looks like this year will be even more intense than last).
We were asked to do "something ambitious" over the summer to show for the first crit after the holiday which was today.
I chose to be ambitious about the size of my work. This is 2x1.5 m so it's the biggest piece I've ever made. I'm not completely sure I feel like this is finished...haven't decided yet but here it is anyway.

1st year show...

My first school year is coming to an end. Makes me a bit sad...good there's still two more left! This is what I showed for the 1st year show.

New kinds of plants....

Have spent the day in my studio putting dried flowers together in different ways feeling like Dr. Frankenstein. Now I'm ready to make prints of them in the printmaking workshop tomorrow. I'm going to use soft ground so I can make impressions of the actual flowers into the soft ground before putting the plates with the print in acid. Very exited to see how they turn out!

Dotty drawings....

My hand is really starting to hurt from drawing these amoeba-ish guys so I figured I would take a break and upload these photos of them :)
