| Keighley
College Exhibition - 1996 |
These are from an
exhibition I had whilst at Keighley
College. An exhibition from a two year advanced GNVQ course that
allowed me to explore other areas of Art and Design.
Starting from the images on the far left, were actually a Site Specific
Installation for an exhibition called Icons. An Installation based
on a Launderette where the ordinary lives of Keighley people were reflected
A central meeting place where people would wash clothes (their personal
belongings that would tell a little bit about their each and very
different lives). I found inspiration for this when I went to see a Christian
Botanski exhibition in Halifax that was based on the ex-workers
of an expired mill. Some of these images were done with oil bars on
paper, using an overhead projector. Others were photographs of the
washing machine drums in the launderette.
The paintings were studies of the process of still life through to an
abstracted version of such based on colour and texture.
The later image was part of my end of the year show in the second year for
costume design, based on the opera Orpheus in the Underworld. This
costume was based on the rockers in the sixties. The jacket was made
of denim with black bin liners and silver Christmas tree beads woven
intertwined to reflect the bad boy image of the character. |
