‘There are a large number of different physical structures which form spontaneously as their components try to meet certain energetic requirements. These components may be constrained, for example, to seek a point of minimal free energy, like a soap bubble, which acquires its spherical form by minimizing surface tension…'

- Manuel DeLanda (Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy

I am interested in capturing the unfolding of form in physical structures. I have chosen the bubble because of its spherical form and because its playfulness is contrasted with the cold sterile aesthetic of the Scientific experiment. I have used both sequence and the grid to heighten a sense of narrative in the changing line, shape and form of the bubble untill it reaches its final shape, a sphere.

The idea of this piece came from the unawareness of the flickering of light that occurs in the corner of your eye, like when you pass a fence on a sunny day or the light in your eye after a flash of a camera.

With this basic thought and the basic materials, I am challenging the notions of display and enhaning that which is usually taken for granted, this piece delicately reintroduces the elements of the everyday and allows a moment of reflection.

Paul Klee said ‘art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes visible’.

As a visual artist I am drawn to the fractal geometry within the landscape. Aesthetics, I believe is at the core of a biological even Palaeolithic draw to organic life. Fractal geometry pervades from macro to microscopic movement in the topography, divisions in tree branches, river tributaries, icicles mountain ranges and the juxtaposition of human anatomy in blood vessels and airways and cell structure. The common link is division and subdivision, yet each fractionation is unique. My third year practice continues along these lines.

‘Inscapes’ was a phrase originally coined by Gerard Manley Hopkins. He described inscapes as being dynamic, with each organic thing having an inherent and unique quality. Hopkins language evoked pure image through language.

Ordered and disordered patterns which will persist and develop beyond the scope of human existence.

In my practice i first start by expermentation with materials and techniques and then later a concept develops.  I have created a series of works that reflect a virtual reality, one that is familiar only to myself as it is a reflection of my thoughts and imagination.

Title: Self
Self explores the personal interests which influence my art practice. Taking extracts from a selection of the literature I have read, I am highlighting the domestic craft activities detailed within the extracts. These activities are traditional artistic work carried out primarily by women, including knitting, needlework and drawing. By illustrating the extracts through print and craft techniques, I'm emphasising the artistic abilities achieved by women while they were commonly excluded from the patriarchal world of art in the past. Each extract forms the page of a book and the book can be read in an alcove that provides the audience with an area to immerse themselves into the book.

My work at the moment is directly developed from my drawing work from the beginning of the year. My drawing work is mainly processed based and the same technique has been applied to my work now. I wanted to experiment with working in large scale, particularly with paint. My work is painted directly onto sheets of MDF. I have chosen to leave some of the wood exposed. I have used this to my advantage so that the wood in the painting would be just as important as the applied paint. The titles of the paintings originated from happenings or conversations around the time the paintings were created. Artist I have been researching during this time include Bridget Riley, Sol LeWitt, Victor Vasarely and Eamon O’ Kane.

For the future I want to increase the scale of the paintings and expand on techniques on how to display the work. I would like to incorporated more recognisable forms into the paintings.
