PLEASE WAIT, FILM IS ABOUT TO START

Last week was our degree show. Here are the pieces I created for it:

My work for the show was about frustration. The film I showed never started, the free cake was behind a barrier (and then gone) and the magnifying glass did not reach the minuscule text.

I am very happy with the way the pieces went, aside from someone breaking one of the barriers surrounding the shelf. I am part of a show of recent graduates from Winchester School of Art taking place in London in just over a weeks time, so I will be showing the table there again, hopefully with even smaller text. I will also be displaying the Free Cake piece, but changing it up a bit to make it easier to install and less vulnerable to damage. 

I have been exceptionally busy since the show, with end of year meals, Graduation ball and the handover of my student union job. I achieved a 2:1 in my degree which I was pleased with and have been having a great time overall.

So all is going well, just looking for a job now and looking forward to the London show, which if you would like to come is at:

Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf,
South Bank, London SE1 9PH

From 6 - 8th July 2012

Entry is free and the venue is open from 11am-6pm daily!

Bronze Cupcake...

So here is the finished cupcake. The photos are by Aidan Connor Frame, a fellow student, as I took so long to take any good pictures of it someone else got there first.

We had an interim show this week, so I displayed the cupcake. It was meant to be on show with a video but I had technological problems and no time to fix them, so it was just the cupcake in the end.

I love this little cupcake, probably because it took me so long to finish and polish up. I don't like it when people tell me it's not perfect because I spent so long working on it and improving it.

People love handling it though and it is nice to touch. It's always heavier than people expect, which is funny as the plaster ones are always lighter than people expect.

Bronze

On the right hand side of the above picture you can see my bronze cupcake
And a close-up.

The bronze casts have now been removed from the molds and are sitting in water. Soon I will clean off the last of the sand/plaster and work on my cupcake, neaten it up and polish it.
