Mind Games

For my research project in college, I've been working with various mediums, including printmaking and knitting.  Here's the three images I'll be using for my presentation next Monday. This first image is of "Ode a La Biévre" by Louise Bourgeois. While some of her work disturbs me, I really love the cloth books she has produced. This one is especially interesting, with the combination of text and imagery, as well as each image being so very different from the others. 

The next image is one of my desk. I was finding it hard to pinpoint 3 images that sum up my research project. So, I talked to my tutor and she suggested taking a photograph of my desk. So this is my studio space in college, which I use a lot! My work for this project can be seen on the wall - there's a knitted 'S', which exemplifies my explorations in knitting patterns and there's a woodblock print of a sewing thread spool and a needle, entitled "Before the Stitch". 

 

The last image is the one I'm least happy with, because it demonstrates a work in progress.  One of the interests I identified in my project was the mind.  Duane's brother, Leigh, had his brain scanned recently and got to keep the x-rays, so I converted them into a screenprint, with varied success. I hope to have more prints completed soon.  This print was featured in the exhibition "Support" for the IADT open day.
