Artist Inspiration

The Primitive Streak Exhibition


Although I don't think this influenced my project at all, I enjoyed this piece the most because it reminded me of a previous project that I had done on Body Distortion.

Pushpa Kumari

During a recent vist to the MMU Holden Gallery for a drawing workshop, I was fascinated by the tiny marks that made up such a large drawing with clean lines like in
Kumari's work. This is reflected in my A2 drawing. I started on a small square and I thought a lot about composition so I decided to go against the grain and start off centre. I decided to take parts of my drawings in my sketchbook to combine and develop this new piece, and work bigger as I went along. Although I ended up cutting some bits out and re arranging them on a larger scale, but I think it worked out to be quite aesthetically pleasing. I was briefed to interpret college into the drawing and I utilised this to highlight certain points of the drawing. I used parchment paper as I like the semi-opaque qualities that I found out from using it with my sketches.
