Just thought I'd show what I've been working on this work, including completed illustrations to works in progress to refined doodles.
Well, January certainly was a busy start to the year! A busy start to a new art project too - part of what's been keeping me rather ocupied actually. I've been exploring abstraction, quite a new route for me. This first year of A-levels doesn't contribute to the end grade, which means I have the oppurtunity to explore and experiment, and take risks. Now, I have chosen to explore music visually in this project. I have a mild form of synaesthesia, where my brain makes strong links between sounds/emotions and colour/space, (there are many different forms of this condition by the way, this is just my personal neuro-experience). So I've started exploring this through art, beginning with ink, moving through paint and going...well good question.
I'll put up my series of works in a gallery under 'My Projects' so the development can be seen all together.
My current piece is proving to be very challenging. I'm giving 3D work a go, by using the notation patterns I've drawn and putting them into a wire structure. The wire is quite difficult to work with, since it is difficult to achieve sharp twists that I want. However, I do really like the ability to bring the musical patterns into a space and have them physically intertwine. I'd like to bring colour into it somehow, which will be another challenge, but I'd better actually have a structure first! I'll keep updating with where I'm going with this, and if you want to ask or suggest anything DM me on Instagram or drop me an email! I also want to thank anyone who's reading, I'm still getting 30 hits at least a week! Even when I've been too busy to update properly in a while! I really appreciate it, and hope I manage to at least provide some spark of inspiration to someone out there. |
