As my theme thoughout my work was the word fragility, in response to our module too of practice and material, the concept of the material and its meaning played a crucial part in my work. After experimenting with alot of different materials, I came back to a technique I am very keen on; making handmade paper. Last year I made my own deckle and frame from two old frames and some trusty netting a staple gun, and it still going strong. I too and passionate about re using materials and not wasting; so as you can imagine i am a huge hauder (not popular mith my other half). So from collected junk mail, paper bags different textures, egg shells and dye I started to play around with constructing and deconstructing this material. From this I created my first piece, which I decided to title Blanche. By breaking away and re pasteing sections of paper I formed different formations, I used thread to represent stitching, wax and ink. To conclude it has taken along time for me to grab hold of a piece of art work and feel so passionate about it, after being lost for a long while.
