Body cast artist.


For my FMP I looked up Antony Gormley to see how he does his body casts. I want to use this for my final piece where I would cast a body and use it as a installation to create a sense of fear.

Another FMP idea.

Lilith inspired photography.


These pictures I took were inspired by Kiki Smith's Lilith 
Amy painted Eleanor black then I realised I could use her for my work because it reminded me of Lilith and she did look truly terrifying. I then took a video of her dancing to 'tiptoe through the tulips' because that to me is a creepy song. I  thinking of using something similar to this for my final piece.

Artist inspiration.

Kiki Smith Lilith - 1994


"In medieval Jewish lore, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. When she demanded to be Adam’s equal, she was evicted from the Garden of Eden. Lilith flew away to the demon world, replaced by the more submissive Eve. Smith catches us off guard with Lilith’s pose and placement. Most sculptures receive our gaze passively, but Lilith stares back with piercing brown eyes, ready to pounce."

I really like this piece, I want to do something like this in my own work because the black figure and the piercing glare gives a sense of fear. If I could use something like this in my art to create the same feeling I would be very happy.

New Idea.

I was given an idea to create a wall of boxes with things in for people to feel because they wont know what it inside so it will make them feel more uncomfortable or 'scared' because they don't know what is in there. I want to research more into this for my FMP.

Balloon light development.

After playing about with the balloons for a bit we decided to try and take the lights out and put them in wax so the light would shine through. We then thought it wouldn't work because the heat from the wax could break the light but we tried anyway and this is the result.






Light up balloons

We bought some balloons from pound land that light up and we lit them up to try and create strange images.
