About Me

Nottingham, United Kingdom
I am currently studying Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University. Previously I completed a foundation course in Art and Design at Seec. I am exploring many disciplines in my practice with sculpture and installation being my main focus. I am interested in multiples, repetition, process, production and loss of control. Many of my works focus on these words and ideas.

Soap

In previous work I found a common theme of multiples. I wanted to create a piece that focused on this idea rather than it being a by product of my work.

I wanted to use an everyday object that changes when working with it. I decided to use soap for this particular piece. I wanted to make each piece original and using simple actions to change the soap.



















'Untitled 2010'
'Before and After'
I decided to use the heat from my hands to mould the soap. I was able to heat it then push it into a shape. For me this piece did not work . I was not very happy with the outcome as the shape of the soap was still a kind of oval shape. I found the shaving around the soap more interesting and the rawness of my thumb.




















During the Process.
I decided to change the contrast of the photos so the soap and the rawness of my thumb would show.


This process got me thinking of mass production. Here I was changing the mass produced into something original. I wanted to make the original mass produced.
