A journey of colour
For my FMP, I chose to focus on how we associate colours with times, places, memories etc. in our lifetimes. My initial research focussed on colour psychology throughout childhood, but soon evolved into an exploration of my own personal experiences with colour. The aim of my final piece is to capture this journey by referencing nostalgic elements of my childhood through pattern, colour and shape - heavily influenced by old family photos and the works of Molly Goddard.

This Art Bible is a documentation of guides and ideas set for designing robots in a fictional near future city of 2099. This city is surrounded by AI, consisting of 3 types of robots. The Assistant robot, Defensive robot 1 and Defensive robot 2. The ‘Assistant’ robots have replaced the majority of human jobs in the city, and the two ‘Defensive’ robots are war robots protecting the civilisation from any outside threats, one being much larger than the other. The Art Bible consists of concept designs for the mentioned robots, design variations of the Assistant robot (in different job roles), environment designs, weapon design, Dos and Don’ts in shape design and patterns, scale and more.

Michael and Lucifer
My theme being Heaven and Hell. Explores the themes and relationship between both sides, in particular the relationship between Lucifer and his brother michael. Archangel Micheal, often referred to as ‘chief of angels’ commanding all angels. And his brother Lucifer, the morning star leader of the fallen angels. In my interpretation I am exploring the moment Michael casts Lucifer out of heaven, laying him down in hell in a lake of ice, after his defeat. With a sorrowful expression on michaels face upon losing his brother and being the one forced to act and cast him out.

Grandma’s Cottage
My aim for this project was to create a concept living room, decorated to be that of a typical old lady, consisting of items you would likely find in your nans house. I wanted to create a lifelike space to evoke nostalgia, whilst also challenging the thoughts that ‘old lady stuff’ is ugly/tacky by creating such a space that presents these things in a new way.

RICH
My work was intended as a distraction from the news and from politics. I wanted to find the beauty in everyday objects. I tried to be as sustainable as possible by using materials I already had such as wallpaper samples, previous work and magazines. To question what we need in life to be content, I made a series of paper and textile ‘jewels’ and placed them in a mirrored box to create an infinite perspective. Following on from this I then used CGI and photoshop to experiment with repetition and pattern by creating printed textile designs and projections.

I have exhibited a collection of images, an oil painting and accompanying photos. I liked the idea of creating a piece without context,just because I liked it. I was inspired by Cindy Sherman's photography and film still like images and decided to emulate this in my own work.

Frankenstein by the Sea (Storytelling)
I have chosen to exhibit three pieces from my final project. The first is this dress which was inspired by the clothing in Botticelli’s narrative works, principally ‘Primavera’ and ‘Pallade e il Centauro’. The second is this little collection of prints. The influences originated from the printmakers who illustrated Pullman’s ‘His dark materials’. The prints tell a short narrative of the character in the painting. The final piece is my canvas which is a culmination of everything I studied and made during this project. The premise of this piece was inspired by Bruegel’s ‘Landscape with the fall of Icarus’. The painting shows that this transcendent story is, to an individual, just a part of the scenery. I think this can be expanded upon. We are surrounded by stories and it is simply the human condition to tell them.

Cinema in the Matriarch
I have exhibited a set of paintings which demonstrate how typically masculine film posters would look if they were designed in the same way as posters focusing on women. With my theme being the patriarchal influence in media, I have explored the various ways in which this is recognisable in daily life, and with these exhibited pieces I have chosen to focus this work on how it appears in film.

The male leads of these chosen films have been painted in a similar way to that of how women are portrayed in movie posters.

Natural Home
I have exhibited a homeware collection which is based on nature and botanical illustrations and designs. With my theme being nature, I explored this through pottery and it developed into printmaking. The collection is made up of lampshades, pots, and prints with botanical illustrations and repeating designs on them. Throughout the collection I chose to base my designs on plants, the reason for this is because the greens within them give a refreshing natural feel. I have displayed my work to look as though it is being presented in a store or a homeware magazine.

4.669
Almost 100 million tonnes of clothing waste is produced each year and only 2.5% of that goes on to be recycled. Creating anything from something else uses a massive amount of energy, so with this collection I aimed to intercept this process and repair a handful of T Shirts to be printed on. Think about waste, energy overuse, the chaos that it is and the chaos that it creates, the effect that it has on everyone and how we’re all trying to fix it. Chaos in it’s truest sense means something that looks unpredictable but in reality is just sensitive to minor changes. If we all made minor changes to our lives we could make a difference to our planet. 4.669, the Feigenbaum Constant, embodies this idea and marks the discovery of the principle of Chaos Theory.

Untitled Observations
Presented is a visual diary of observations, exploring variation in technical and thematic approaches to a project. Interconnecting this to the random body of work is the sketchbook, in which each page correlates with a piece displayed on the floor, which in turn explores a chosen theme decided at the start of each week. So as to illustrate how little creative value the collection of work bears (unless paired with the sketchbook) I have physically distanced the two - rendering everything but the book a by-product of the process, rather than a collection of desired outcomes. Supporting each study is a series of research, both primary and secondary, conducted through and before production. On top of this, I have utilized different styles, media, and levels of abstraction to convey my thought process behind each piece authentically. From this, I have maintained interest in the project, and it has allowed me to explore a plethora of different topics, without limiting me to one area specifically. For the exhibition, I have chosen to display this through a concertina sketchbook, which will hopefully evoke the idea of a timeline, progressing through my ideas.

Yet again, as always and forever the point at which you are reading this was reached with no linear approach or planning - I couldn’t have told you this would all be here at the start but could tell you enough about it all to convince you I had thought of nothing else. The bench was a product of little more than needing somewhere to sit but is now a representative of the theft of, glorification and then imminently the demise of subcultures and niches, using the skateboarding community as a microcosm for any and all cultures that end up tainted by commercialisation. The leaf shape formed from solid, heat-treated wooden skateboards pays tribute to the physical origin of the boards, while also referencing ‘what was’ in the skateboarding community and/or any other community that has fallen victim to the worse kind of popularisation through corporate companies and media that boils most cultures down to little more than an accessory or something to put in your Tinder bio. The mess you see encapsulated within the golden frame shows how I ended up where I did, not in the rigid, step-by-step way most would assume but instead more true to actuality, I would be lying if I told you I knew what I was doing even a week ago, so I hope by trying to figure some sort of chronological pattern from anything you see in front of you that you can begin to understand how I got here, and considering I can’t do that myself, I would love to see what others can come up with.

Gestural Fluidity Through Human Expression
Displayed are various paintings, prints and mixed-media works which explore the concept of movement and gesture. These multilayered images portray human motion through a two-dimensional plane and bring focus to the inseparable relationship between gesture and line. I emphasise aesthetics through erratic markmakinh, by doing so I aim to allow the viewer to form new, personal interpretations when engaging with my work.

Digital Garbage
I have created a virtual gallery to be experienced within Virtual Reality. I wanted to make something that was out of my comfort zone as well as being something I was excited about and wanted to learn more about. At the same time making a gallery I had to make something to put inside it so I have decided to put in my photography work that I do within my own time. Ranging from portraits to landscapes mixed in with architecture there is a range of work to be enjoyed. This is my Digital Garbage.

Into the Garden
For the exhibition I have presented an interactive environment to represent a nostalgic walk through your grandma's house. This environment is to present a pop-up book adaptation of the nursery rhyme “little miss muffet”. I also put up a series of my own botanical watercolour paintings to mimic the floral patterns of the wallpapers that were frequently used within older houses (especially in Lithuania which is where I am from). This project was very much an emotional journey for me as memories of foraging with my family, making homemade food and the authentic lifestyle of the countryside came to mind.
