I received this in the post the other day and it definitely made my day. I recommend that everyone should go and take a little peek, at least, at his work! I bought it for the new house I shall be moving into. I'll be gone in just over a week, ready to start my second year at university. I deserve a treat, right? I may not have achieved much art-related, but I got a job and earned some glorious wonga. I'll find a nice spot for it somewhere. Oh, it makes me smile!

Sculpture Workshop Take Two.

Sculpture Workshop No.2, with Simeon Nelson and once again I had a great day. I really do think that the people who did not attend really have missed out. You’ll notice that this sculpture is a different colour to the ones before. This is because we used a greater amount of plaster to sand, which made the structure much stronger and harder. To help fill space in the mould a post was placed inside, unfortunately it happened to be taller than me and made it difficult to handle once it was taken out of the sand. If I’m honest it looked like a giant match stick, so out came the wood saw and off came the excess post. Due to it being more solid, more effort was needed, so I borrowed a mallet and a chisel and then began to carve lines into the sculpture. The lines will be used in a similar way to my previous sculptures, so this work will be able to be related to my project. There was a lot of plaster left behind and I hope to use it to create some more work at some point, I’m hoping I don’t run out of time.

‘Totem Cityscape I’. I had a little piece of a wood laying around, that a friend gave me and I thought it would be interesting to paint on it, seeing as it’s a strange shape. I started off by doing the usual multi-coloured waves with white paint added in and then a thought occurred to me. I needed to add something other than the coloured lines, because it would not look right by itself, but I could not focus on a figure like I used to before. I decided to include the silhouette of a totem pole, so the piece would not be completely out of place from my project and there would be less concentration on it due to there being no detail. I placed it to the bottom/side so again less focus on it and I saw that it slightly looked like a cityscape, that’s where the name came from. Making this little piece helped me get an idea for a larger work that I wanted to paint ready for the exhibition/review. The picture above is the way which the work is meant to go and the one below is just so you can see the totem pole the right was up.
