Painting Final

Got to present my works yesterday. Really happy with how they turned out. Here's my final white painting I finished on Friday.

white #5 - acrylic on board


I put them up really high on the wall. I think craning your neck to look at works add a certain ...dimension.



Callum, Paige and the Trust Experiment

I finally convinced Paige to let me cut her hair. I was totally confident, spurred on by that Regina Spektor song, and also by Terry Devlin, my grandpa.

"Do you know what the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is?"

"No."

"Three weeks! (laughs)"

Paige prepares.


AND...

(she was actually way happier when she saw it)
(babe)
    

After trying to make the sides even and ending up cutting it WAY shorter then intended, I decided to go for asymmetry. WAY easier. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but it was a bit touch and go for a minute there.

Anyway, anyone who wants me to cut their hair, step right up. I've got a lot of karma to make up on from the amount of times Steven's cut mine.

 Today I bought a suit jacket. I was showing Oli and he liked it so much that he decided to put his on to remind everyone how good he looks in a suit.


      



 In other news Oli has perfected his Cary Grant smoulder.

POSTMODERN ESSAY

1500 WORDS


pproccess

Thought ya'll might appreciate some process photos, to understand just how state of the art my latest set of white paintings are. In case you're wondering, they're pretty much necessitated by my large collection of white acrylic paint. As well as a cautioned journey away from the highly saturated palette I'm accustomed to dealing with. I don't mean to undersell them. I'm actually really thrilled with how they turned out. They represent an exploration around a set of rules, and really feel like the first works in some sort of larger idea. However, my painting brief just finished, which is extremely bad timing. I would have loved to experiment further, but no doubt the distractions and priorities of next semester may hinder this slightly. Anyway, I see it as a door left open. Who knows?

Murder In Mind

Finally uploaded this, our V48 Hours short from last year. Felt pretty bad I hadn't done it as this years competition was just this past weekend. Unfortunately, did not take part. Currently going for the "too much on" excuse, but I know as the excitement builds throughout heats and such I'm probably going to regret it sooner or later.

Many thanks to all who took part, and grand apologies for those I haven't even shown it to yet.

It's a bit of a mess but I'll let it speak for itself.

Policeamobiles present, Murder In Mind.
