Letting Go of Pieces

Last night I went through and took photos of my 'older' College work the items and folders are starting to take over the room a bit too much and so pieces I did originally intend keeping and framing later on. I am now photographing and listing certain items on Etsy. Now if you spot any work that I haven't gotten around to listing yet give me a shout... 

So last night I dragged out my end of the year project from Core Year (First Year at N.C.A.D) and photographed it and listed one of the painting I did on Etsy.

This painting was done as part of my Core Year Project (1st year) in the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Where I am currently studying a BDes (Hons) in Textile Design (specialisizing in embroidery). In my project I experimented with sheer fabrics, netting and plastic netting projecting light through them to examine their transparency, colours and textures.

This painting is done on canvas and painted with acrylics. The canvas measures (h) 16" x (w) 22" it is mounted onto white cartridge paper that measures (h) 16.5" x (w) 23".

Artist Statement:

I wanted to experiment with light and transparency using different textures, fabrics and structures. The fragile look of almost lace that could be found in the vein like wings, the layering, the mapping and how the colour could bounce off something that could look so clear, colourless and transparent.

I projected light through various sheer fabrics and netting and and photographed them and from there started my research and development prompted the idea of panels, rolled tubes and clusters.
