Development photos of work for the interim show, however, i was not pleased with this work as it seemed to me to be too busy and not the right message i was trying to aim for - especially with the addition of the bold line. i feel like the addition of the bold line was more for a composition purpose, rather than concept, as i was having issues moving on from my box that i drew in previous years.聽

Screen printing process photos, the design here is based off the packaging for the medicine sertraline, which i have singles out and has became a motif throughout my work. Screenprinting means i can replicate the image over and over, just like the replication of the pill box produced

Experimenting with the display of the painting for the Copeland gallery, in the end, i decided to have a small gap in between the middle of the two because i believe it works with the concept of the painting more. The idea that this medicine and its relationship with the used across a short period of time - when the medicine is introduced to the used. And how it reacts differently with the gestural marks/oil,聽than the period when it is not there to control everything.

Close up of experimental piece to try out how the plaster, bleach, vegetable oil, hessian and acrylic paint react to each other. When the plaster is applied to an area of the hessian where the oil has already been, the plaster turns on off white colour and becomes translucent.

Unknown artist聽
piece of art on the wall in Venice
I was really drawn to the texture of this street art in Venice, especially the plaster or concrete material, which is a material i want to experiment with. The hole in the piece which brings it together with the wall itself reminds me of how i use the bare base material as a factor in my pieces.

Working at the Freud Museum, in Anna Freud's old consulting room, sorting out their 10th-anniversary prints including Prunella Clough鈥檚 prints.
This enables me to see what goes on behind the scenes when working in a small museum and helps me gain experience handling and packaging art. This is part of my job at the Freud Museum.聽

Tancredi Parmeggiani
Untitled, 1954 Gouache on paper, 69.9 x 99.8 cm Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
The detail and the layers in this piece gave the painting its own life, as though many different movements were happening at once, different areas with different energy from the white dots. At first glance, I saw the painting to be a combination of scattered memories, as though it is the unconscious, built up of layers and layers of memories. Then looking closer it begins to form a detailed landscape built up of little forests of life.聽
This aspect of the painting to change as the viewer looked into the detail is what made me fascinated with this painting, in some elements of my paintings where I have built up texture in areas of darkness I hope to achieve a similar effect to that of the audience being drawn closer to the painting to see that there is more life, and memories covered up, under the surface.聽
