Photography. Images from the World Museum Liverpool of African statues. I was interested in creating texture within my images therefore I layered several African images on top of each other and increased the vibrancy.

My unit based on Water and the movements within the ripples. I looked at close up patterns of water and linked my work with Jan Beaney a textile artist who uses free stitch to draw with. I also completed two A0 canvases with inspiration from Maggie Hamling's wave paintings.

Personal work. I decided to look at the art movement Art Nouveau and Decadent Art where it was popular for design to be based on exotic natural phenomena. Orchids and Peacocks best suited this description therefore I based my initial drawings on these. I then developed my designs by looking at William Morris and repeated pattern. I then produced a series of sample prints which were suitable for interior furnishings.

Art Couture, Body Sculpture inspired by decrorative photo frames. I designed and made this sclupture from heated plastic, cardboard and origami paper flowers.

Working Life Drawing 3 hours in pastel.

Drawings from my print unit which were taken from the Liverpool World Museum. Sample of a collograph in orange from a drawing of an African spear. Sample of a screen print taken from a drawing of a native american design. The image below is a sample screen print of an African motif I designed and my final piece I screen printed using gold foil. I them embellished the design with beads and threads of turquiose.

Textile piece from my Group Installation. I have stitched the archways using free stitch with bits of fabrics to add colour and texture.
