Fluid Sculpture from Charlie Bucket on Vimeo.

tubing is 'knitted' together to form this amazing sculpture. u can view the designer's development through the project, and the eventual creation of 'fluid dress' via their website.

charlie bucket has posted another video of great interest to me (below). its just a vhs rip of a tap dancing tutorial but without the audio…i thought it was interesting how many people had commented how they'd imagined sound whilst watching it…i'm thinking of basing my self initiated project along these lines, god knows what'l come out of it though.

Self Portrait.

me.

ALevel art.

these are ollllllllld - from my fine art days at esher college. its weird looking at them now, i miss my nutty tutors with their words of wisdom & eccentricity. ...above is a 'transition' piece where we had to copy an artist's work with our own interpretation on it (so basically plagiarism with a twist lol) i chose stuart pearson wright's portrait of a gardener nd was kind of fascinated by the unveiling of the painting process. here i used acrylic and coffee on canvas.

this is a self portrait from 2007, in coffee/tissue paper and chalk on canvas - and not forgetting the trademark esher college 'drip'- where you would just pour whatever you could find at the time, all over your canvas.

john divola looks at the relationship between man and nature through the decay and dilapidation of this man made structure that overlooks the sea. the zuma beach series documents how through abandonment, the house fell to the forces of nature, man and bureaucracy. (above image taken from divola's 'dog chasing my car in the desert' series).

ajit chauhan has an interesting take on popular culture as he strips away the branding of the label & figure's identity by sanding down these discarded record sleeves. by reducing commercial products to statements of personal taste he pays homage to anonymity.

i've gotta admit - i love winter and i'm just starting to feel christmassy now, but omg - spring! (certainly promises to be hot if you're an abby lee kershaw look-a-like anyway). i am an absolute sucker when it comes to crazy geometric patterns on clothes and mary katrantzou does not disappoint! ...above miraslova wears the designer's signature hyperrealist bold graphics. her spring collection embraces elaborate prints depicting interior design with an array of textured panels and chunky industrial jewellery.
