SPACE SHIFTERS @ the Hayward Gallery Southbank Centre

“Space Shifters brings together artworks that engage with perception and space. Often made from translucent or reflective materials, these artworks direct our attention to the spaces around them. As artist Helen Pashgian once said of her acrylic and resin sculptures that can be seen in Space Shifters, ‘It’s all about what these pieces teach you to perceive about their surroundings’.”

"things in a home away from home”, my box clever collection

For my box, I have collected things around my home that I find visually inspiring. Moving away from home into a new home gave me a fresh start with my belongings, however this made it much more difficult to collect items for this project. All items in my box hold significant meaning to me. I chose a lot of colourful items as colour is my main form of inspiration. I enjoy brightly coloured things, and like this to be reflected in my work.

Rough Guide project : evaluation

Rough Guide project was a really comfortable introduction into the course. It was interesting to explore Notting Hill, an area of London I was completely unfamiliar with until this project. I very much enjoy exploring new areas, and notting hill was a place with a lot to offer in terms of artistic value and culture. The streets were thriving with tourists and locals alike; there was sense of community on the streets.

My sketchbook development was slow yet I feel like I expressed my view on Notting Hill throughly through it. The next task of choosing a page, photocopying it 110 times, and then further developing each page individually was exhausting yet liberating. I felt as if I truly expressed my self in a non-binary way.

The final outcome of the Rough Guide project is interesting. I really enjoy looking at everyone else’s pages, it is inspiring to see everyone’s different styles and ways of working. I am excited to begin the rotations and really get stuck into this textile design course.
