For this piece I wanted to clearly show the similarities/differences between Celtic/British and Indian culture so I used the photos from my Boudica photoshoot and from the Gulabi Gang photoshoot. I liked that although they were different poses they were both the same face, showing how we are all a part of the human race but just choose to express ourselves differently culturally. I decided to further highlight this with the use of pencil drawn faces and blank hair inspired by Sofia Bonati’s work. Not only does this help to lift the figures apart from the background and into the foreground but also furthers the idea of a similar base of identity across both cultures and I am really happy with the smooth shading. I drew these out freehand so there are some small proportional errors but overall I think I managed to capture the expressions really well. For the clothing on both I decided to use the modern day military camo pattern to indicate the subtle ideas of feminism since both figures from the Gulabi Gang and Boudica are strong visions of female empowerment. I chose the green colours for the Celtic figure to link in with the military uniform but for the Indian figure I used pink watercolour to mimic the Gulabi Gang’s uniform of the pink sari which helps to distinguish the differences in the figures with the contrast of colour and therefore culture although overall the other contrasts such as in the background designs and faces are much more subtle.

For the background I decided to draw in ink patterns from Celtic designs and Indian Henna to highlight the different cultures and show the similarities in their merging, inspired by Ole Aakjær’s tattoo designs in his work. For the Celtic border around the Celtic side of the piece I used a zoomorphic pattern from Courtney Davis’ book of ‘Celtic Designs and Motifs’. I chose one with hares because they were a symbol of strength and respect for the Celts that I thought linked in well with the figure of the warrior Boudica and feminism. For the Indian side of the border I used a Henna lotus blossom motif which is a symbol of the light within and femininity that I chose because I thought it went well with the Gulabi Gang’s beliegs and hope in women—therefore both sides choose natural imagery to express these ideas but in different styles: the Celtic being more complex in the weaving of lines and the Indian more complex in the intricate detailing. For the main body of the background I found a Celtic spiral design in the same book that I thought mirrored the woad tattoos on the Celtic figure’s face and highlighted the warrior aspect as well as feminine beauty. To match this I found a Henna hand design on Pinterest which had the same central ‘cross’-like motif and square repeated pattern, showing the similarities in culture but again was more intricately detailed and so allowed to show the subtle differences between Indian and Celtic culture in terms of pattern. To highlight this subtlety I decided to leave the designs in black and white and also so they didn’t draw away too much from the figures and overall I am very happy with the outcome although perhaps the last column of Indian pattern on the right should have been Celtic instead for a more even, central merge.

Above is a progress photo of my canvas piece. I decided to work on the proportions of the fish by making the end curve of the fish’s body more slanted. I also used white paint to alter the proportions of the head; I now think my painting is closer in accuracy to the original reference (although not completely accurate, I’m happier with how it is now than before). I’ve also decided to re-paint the fin. This is because, after some helpful advice from my teacher, I realised the fin was too long (I’m going to apply white paint until the original fin can’t be seen anymore and then I’ll go over it with the new, improved fin). I’ve started applying the grey tones to the fish’s scales and I think this has worked well so far. However I need to apply highlights to these grey areas so they don’t look overly dull. I’ve started to use an element of shadow in this piece via the fish’s body by creating a curvaceous look- the fish is twisting around in the original photo and it’d be good if I could portray this. In order to do this, I need to make the body lighter at the top and add more shadows at the bottom. This painting has taken me a long time so far and I think this is partly due to my lack of experience with painting and canvas work, but it will hopefully be finished soon! I’m planning on using a soft sponge to apply paint for the background- I feel this would be a good technique to experiment with.

This is a collage depicting 2020, inspired by Richard Hamilton’s more recent works. When studying Hamilton, I discovered that in 1992 he had digitally remade his well-known 1956 collage, ‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?’. In this remake, he changed the collage so that it captured the issues and pop culture within the decade. Inspired by this, I decided to create an interior collage that captures the issues prevalent within 2020. Looking back, the images I chose in February were a great snapshot in time. Because so many more problems developed throughout the year, it is interesting to look at the events of February and how they escalated. 

I decided to show an image representing the coronavirus crisis in China, because at the time I felt that it had a large amount of coverage in the media, but many people seemed ignorant to the fact that it could affect them. Other symbols include the framed photograph of Harvey Weinstein which has slightly fallen. This was to represent the fall of Weinstein in the midst of sexual abuse claims at the time, and how Hollywood gives rich men, like Weinstein, too much power.

Here are photos of a book created to present my interests in A Level art at the moment.

This was a piece I did for coursework. The topic was nighttime and I chose to paint a scene from my dream journal and write a description as a layover on wax paper. I quite enjoyed doing this one :^)

A level

A level was the first time I had ever really experimented with oil paint or any other medium other than water colour. For me it was a time for trying new things and making mistakes but also to grow into my style and confidence. My themes over the two years included distortion, vibrant and recycled, all of which I ran with and tried to put my own spin on best as possible

Took forever but I actually finished my final piece 🥰

[kindawierdbutokay]

Some of my favourite pieces from my A-Level photography final piece. Focused around the theme of Variation and Similarity, which led into a sub theme of Identity. As part of the work, it felt important that all of the photos were self portraits, as this had become a constant theme within my work. This made it feel more personal, meaningful, and had a level of vulnerability as well.
