Elesym XIII.
The last couple of days before the Easter Holidays, I was given the chance to use to a large space in the studio area to show my work for the upcoming assessment. I was really surprised...
Last semester I had a bad time and hardly any work was created. It was all bits and bobs which didn't relate to each other. I had no idea what I was doing. And I wasn't enjoying myself.
But this was a great opportunity and of course, I said yes to it! I thought maybe the tutors had seen that I have come a long way and grown with my art since the last dreaded assessment. I wanted to do well and use the space to its fullest. That's when I decided I needed to achieve another painting before this final assessment for second year. I chose to come back to uni early which allowed me enough time to create a fourth piece.
I wanted to change the way I used circles, developing my work once again, whilst keeping the abstract version of the elephant skull again. I decided to use acrylic for its bright colour and ability to dry reasonably quick. This is what I ended up with. Not too shabby, hey? People seem to like it... Well, they say they do haha!

Bruise Art.
My brain has had an off day... I apologise. Don't judge me. This is nothing important, just an idea (I think that's what to call it).
I got this sexy big bruise last week and each day it's more or less been a different colour. Today, for some strange reason, I have been looking at it a lot and a thought came to me. I should have documented it from the beginning; when it first began to appear. Then I could've made some sort of art from it...
Or would that be too weird? I reckon I've seen worse, although, I guess it would depend what the art looked like. It could be beautiful... But it's not like anything I've 'recently' worked on. I don't know. It's a stupid idea. I'll shh now.
(I'll update this with more images if I take anymore and let you know).
