Celing Roses

Still in the collecting stage, now that I'm not working spending $20 a pay of roses is a little out of my budget!

Under The Sea

So my secondary wearable piece, the shell based neckpiece, ended up being a little chunky and ultimately a little tacky. Not to mention it being barely managable, the idea of someone having to model it without it falling into a thousand pieces was just too impossible, so I decided to make the move to take in into pieces, and suspend it.
Now before you begin to think that I'm a little obsessed with fishing twine, the idea of a series of kinetic installation works has always been my aim for a third of my overall 2010 portfolio, this conjecture just means that I've condensed my workload a little bit, making it all slightly more cohesive.
I'm still working on a wearable piece, but that will be presented in a kind of minature installation manner, and the idea of wearing it is simply that.

Faux Flora

As soon as I finish the essay that I'm currently wading through, I'll be working on some ideas for set design for the upcoming Forest gig, the first of which being a sort of roof of faux flowers to create a kind of canopy for the artists to be immersed within, referencing the notion of "urban wood" that the gig is loosely based around.

Mother of Pearl

Just an example of my general clumsiness - I'm currently brainstorming ways to include a series of test tubes that I've had sitting around for forever (please excuse the dodgy black corner featured in the next few shots, my poor little point and shoot has already started to die!)

And a ..

Crumpet. Yep, not much going on around here.

Recent embroidery

The top images are just a little embroidery using scraps from hemmed skirts and some quilting fabric leftover from making bookcovers, the idea I guess is a kind of automated quilting on an intimate scale, I'm not too sure where I'll be going with that one.
The below images are of a little segment of knitted baby wool that I've half hazardly embroidered, just thinking about different ways to acknowledge the significance of the struggle for autonomy within modern intimacy- a strong theme within my work, the idea of technology creating abbreviated ways of what used to be heartfelt, hand-written letters now evolved into abbreviated and disjointed text messages is kind of hilarous and very much sad.

Want.

I do love my 90s floral uni backpack, it's really comfy and fits tonnes in it, but the idea of not having ot fish around in the dark bottom of it for a biro, or stressing about losing my phone is so not worth it's cute print, I need one of these babies, apparently, the canvas is really strong and they're quite cheap- I also like the idea that they are white canvas, and designed to age and pick up scuffs and little bits of pieces from your life. I'll get saving!
