I took the second half of the fine art rotation as a chance to have some childish fun.
In the first half I made a few animations and drawings based on the in-studio installations.
I'd begun to draw circluar shapes with colourful felt tip pens based on the pebbles, cakes and balloons in the installation. I decided to carry through the circular element and the bursts of colour into my later work. I began with the theme of private parts whilst playing with balloons inserted into holes in paper. I realised that the balloons underside looked like a breast. And so, the project grew.
The balloon-breasts got quite a few laughs.
My Collection of Private Parts
Where all of my work stemmed from.
"Plastic Penis"
Having been inspired by the colourful circles, I began work with straws. It all began with filling a circular plane with the sliced straws; which thereafter grew upwards and outwards. When hung on the wall, this piece resembles an erect penis.
Fake Bossoms (2 Pink Balloons inserted into paper)
Eye Candy
I found it impossible to blow this balloon up; hence I have called it "Erectile Disfunction".
Look closely at this abstract piece and find breasts, vaginas and a penis.
(Ink and paint)
A sprinkle of humour.
My work relates to:-
Tom Freidman: "Yarn Dog"
Turner Prize Winner 2001, Martin Creed.
I looked at this artist at the beginning of the rotation (see earlier posts) and also at Keith Tyson. Both artists cram objects together to make sculptures. This connects to my piece "Plastic Penis".
