Done And Dusted, Upwards And Onwards

Why have such limitations? 
I like that it's almost infinite, 
The sea doesn't do it for me.
Why have a horizon you'll never reach? 
I say goodbye to the sky. 
The forever flowing hills 
Eddy so dynamically, 
As the sections pour through grids, 
Into ever evolving expanses of foliage forms 
Sprouting from the soil, 
An earthy flesh. 
An ultimate display of power and elegance.
A feminine finesse, 
A masculine might. 
Poised
Like a green haired being. 
A giant, if you will.
My minds eye sees it sprint.

It's been a while since I've posted... well, not that  long, but lots has happened, its been a fast paced month or so. The above pictures are my final pieces for my final major project for college and in part are the results of many late nights (by late nights i mean going to bed in the early hours of the morning) but now college is done and out the way, so i can continue on my own path, doing my own thing!! The final exhibition went well too, my class exhibited with some A level photography students, the privet view was a lot of fun. :)

Ive also entered the real world beyond education by moving out and living with a friend in a town, rather than in the middle of nowhere, which is brilliant! shops within 20 metres instead of 3 miles!! its great :')

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Now.... onto The Tate...
WOW, what an experience theres SO much stuff there i'll never begin to be able to list, find or explain in any detail, so many wonderful paintings, especially the cubist exhibition (lots of Braque, Picasso, Gris), lots of installations and sculptures, i could spend months there, getting to know each and every piece.
The Gerhard Richter exhibition was phenomenal, i never apreciated his work having seen much of his work in books, magazines, websites and album covers (Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation) but in the flesh, his work is so powerfull, partly due to the scale which also lends the detail no photograph could.
so here are a few fantastic paintings of his...

"Looking Through You"





I have taken photos of strangers at random (with their permission) to create a collaged society, showing exterior influences through a mixed medium image, to show how a society stares as a fickle unit of inconsistencies.          

Comprising of all, united by none, judgemental of you.


 This was displayed at the 'Project 106' building in weymouth from the 20th to the 21st
