Dissertation...

Well i have neglected my studio work to get this dissertation done,
just a case of finishing off now, sorting out and all that :) with over a month left to go...
for once i have used some organisation at got something done in advance!!

For the studio work, i am going to get the sewing machine out today :D
Also need to apply for an MA, that is the scariest thought ever!! Ow and a competition which will be cool!

Hopefully have a lot more to say next time i post...with lots of photos :)

My assessment went ok, still not sure of exactly how well atm....got a rough grade, but as they say its art and grades dont count.....hmmmm shame i dont see it like that, i probably should!

bye for now,
Sonya :)

4 days till assessment.....

well..........

4 days till assessment and im pretty chilled....i don't think this is normal!!!
I have just been making some video's to present alongside my work,
they are in the style of Gillian Wearing's work 'Signs' 1992-93...


I'm doing a little performance piece for my assessment...need to organise how it will appear,i've never done performance before properly, so its a bit of a challenge for myself.....I seem to enjoy making things difficult, also need to organise my work.....*fingers crossed*

Might be doing a collaborative piece as well, see how that pans out :) will be exciting,
yet another thing i have not completed before....i will update again soon...

Thanks,
Son

brrrrrr...

Well its deffo winter now!...
Done some more work, some textiles some digital,
think i have managed to bring the racism idea in my project to a close now,
hopefully my tutor will feel the same....we will see today!

its 8:45 and ive been up since 6:30....deffo third year now...
Below are some process images that ive been experimenting with....some of the do look a bit scary i must admit...
The idea is to present an event that ended in several arrests, this even happened in Leicester on 9th October 2010,
it was meant to be a silent protest....but didnt really go that way, the two groups involved were the EDL and the UAF...
The whole event was a target for racial abuse....so theres a little info and here are some images....in the images i have made masks for the people, which are re-workings on recognisable media imagery...."The Immigration Channel" as i found mentioned in an EDL blogpost....




I intend to take an image of these 'masks' on 5 people lined up infront of a police line up height chart,
i will add some of my textile images later today :)
thanks for reading,

"Monkey to Man, Needle To Mouse"

Some images from my current project....
My project is called "Monkey to Man, Needle to Mouse"...
I am exploring the effect of technology and time-scale on the textile process,
i intend to produce an installation for our degree show,
i am currently in the process of beginning each stage of the process exploring different textile methods including digital print making.

I am also considering the elements i have previously about being Asian-British and am including this in each stage of my installation. I am also giving myself rules, to abide by, such as the amount of minutes i can work on each colour....
ill add more pictures from different stages soon :)
thanks for reading,
Son :)
