Designs

After returning from America i haven't done as much art as i would like as job hunting has taken a front seat. Here are a few designs I have done for Abbey England :

A Bag design for their quality bits when sold by retailers.

A worksheet showing how to together a DAPP which is used to protect the stirrup.

Graduating and Degree show

Sorry for the lack of posting, with a degree show, deadlines and jetting off to america i haven't had the time to blog. That is now changing.

Update. I graduated. I now have a BA with Honours in Art and Design. I am now in America teaching art to children with autism, with a wide range of abilities.

Here are my degree show pieces, all of them are for sale, contact rosiemphillips@hotmail.co.uk, if you have any questions about the pieces.

Overdue Post....

Sorry for the lack of blog posts recently being in my final year of university my time has been taken up with dissertation, assignments, long days (and nights) in the library and preparation for my final year degree show. Here are a few of the things that i have been up to...

 Cutlery- collections, blue print china, relationship with memories

Dissertation - How colour affects children with autism.

Narrative..

From working with screen printing, I've been looking at the narrative and lost and found objects as cutlery can often tell a story or brings back memories for people. Looking into book art i have been working with narrative text to produce cutlery with a narrative which i hope to introduce to my screen prints.

Screen printing

I have started screen printing, its looking good although I'm debating whether to start working on a larger scale. My work is about the quotidian object and the narrative behind the cutlery we have. Looking artists such as sigma polke who influences my work for the concept behind his own work. Martin parrs photography and displaying of work can be seen to influence my own work.

Blue print...

Working with cutlery teapots and cups and saucers i have been looking more at blue print china not liking working with black ink has encouraged me to look into other colours. Blue print china tells a story or a narrative which is what a collection or odd pieces of cutlery can do as well.

I am now collecting vintage tea sets ready to print on...bring it on. 

Photoshop & Drawing...

So I'm working on cutlery again, looking into collections but also still the quotidian object. Im looking more into how they are displayed in a museum and the different ways they are displayed. I am working on transferring my prints onto objects such as teapots and cutlery although I'm unsure as to how i will go about this. Most of prints have been done by mono printing so far although i have found it to be messy and not tonal at all however i do like the layering effect. So i have moved not o screen printing with a further intention of looking into photo etching with mono printing on top.

Well see how far this goes.....

This is some experimenting with drawing, photos and photoshop

If anyone would like to send me images of their cutlery interesting or non interesting cutlery that would be very helpful.
