DEVELOPING VISUAL NARRATIVES

 DEVELOPING VISUAL NARRATIVES ANTHOLOGY MINI PROJECT From the initial workshops introducing me to the different texts, I found that the necrosmologies folder stood out the most as it was a very dark, industrial world which is vastly different from the work I'd just completed and I fancied a change.  Once again I decided to work with Izzy Molly and Xena for this mini brief, as we all wanted to do the same folder of texts and we could efficiently work together for such a short deadline.  I personally decided to illustrate the story ‘Bone fishing’ although it was one of the shorter pieces I thought that there were lots of interesting details that inspired me to want to draw from it. On further discussion with the group we decided that we wanted to focus on the landscapes and the world building aspects of the texts as they’re all set in different locations near each other. We could attempt to make a concertina zine that folded off into each story to unravel Cartwright’s world...

REVISIT REMAKE- APPLY

 Setting everything up!! DAY 1- Monday BRICK APPLICATION TIMELAPSE We started by making our brick wall for that urban street vibe, to do this I cut 4 brick shapes out of foam and we all worked together to stamp them on, which made it super efficient! I like how they didn't stamp perfectly as it makes it more realistic! Xena and Izzy worked on padding out the bin to make it more full and then we moved them in to visualise! ^ We hung up the T-shirts and positioned the vine on the props- This is when I realised it wasn't long enough to also hang along the top of the faux wall like I envisioned :( ^ We placed the fairies, sticking some down for extra support and added the other set dressings! ^ I decided that I could paint a vine along the top to tie in the foreground so made a quick draft DAY 2- Tuesday ^ Me painting new vine! ^ New Vine! I also painted a silhouette of a cat stretching on top for extra dimension and whimsy (Pictured later on). ^ We hung up a merch shelf for the po...

GROUP WORK! THE HOKEY FOLKY COLLECTIVE INSTAGRAM-  https://www.instagram.com/thehokeyfolkycollective/ I formed my group with Izzy Xena and Molly, we have previously worked together on the visual essay module last year so I knew that we would make a great team!  Go with the Flow-our group zine CLICK HERE FOR OUR PREVIOUS GROUP PROJECT ^ Initial ideas and notes from our first collective "meeting". We decided on recreating the Cottingley Fairies Hoax as our artefact at this stage we didn't quite know where to take it- we just knew that our aims would to be to make a new version of the hoax and to bring back the 'whimsy' and hope that the original photo created.

REVIST REMAKE- EXPLORE

Preparation Task For the preparation task I remade John Everett Millais' Mariana, I was inspired to remake a pre raphaelite painting as they are so beautiful and inspired mostly by nature which I thought would be easy to modernise by turning it more urban. I found this painting and related to her stance as my desk chair is VERY uncomfortable and after working I need to stretch a lot. So I remade her as an illustrator instead of a tapestry worker and changed the scenery and outfits to fit more into todays age. ZANDRA RHODES: A LIFE IN PRINT- THE HOLBURNE MUSEUM   I visited the exhibition Zandra Rhodes: A Life in Print at the Holburne Museum with Izzy Molly and Xena, the venue is situated in Bath and majority of the rooms are dedicated to the art collection of Sir William Holburne, but it also hosts an array of temporary more modern exhibitions in its purpose built spaces. As the venue is a big museum it has a whole curatorial office who selects the majority of work to be displayed, ...
