Week 1: Monday 10th March: UNIT X


UNIT X

Monday 10th March 2014:
week 1: The concept behind my work is place, space and emotion; evoking emotion of the past through texture and surface pattern. 


My own photographs of Manchester Royal Infirmary.


This week is the beginning week to unit X and continuing where I left off with the Practice unit. I have been out looking and taking photographs of public spaces and places from the old Manchester Royal Infirmary to The old Fire station. Within the photographs, I have been focusing on colour, texture, surface pattern, and creating that 'Moment.' Interested in places with history and memory

 I have been scanning and combining these images to create new textures and surfaces.





Throughout the last unit, my work did not have enough sophistication: my samples were created using very basic techniques. My aim for this Final Major Project is to create sophisticated and professional samples by using digital print and photography. 

I am an image maker, textile artist and inspired by a breadth of artists. Nigel Shafran is a photographer but inspired by the same concept and ideas.  The idea of capturing a space, to portray emotion and a sense of loss, past and memory.
