Mary Greg Exhibition

This is the photograph of Tom and mines Mary Greg Exhibition. We also used this to help with our presentation for the Platt Hall exhibition.

Christmas Day

Here are some of the photographs i took during christmas day to doccument the day. the idea was to take them to then put into an old copy of Charles Dickens Christmas Stories I found on a stall to make a kind of photo album. I was thinking about the idea of telling storie and the different ways you can do this, through words and images, and about combining this.

Lupus Garrett

Lupus Garrett is an American artist who uses old found photographs as his mase and reworks them using mixed media such as paint, applique, embroidery, buttons, medels etc. I like his idea of givin old photographs new life!

Jo Teeuwisse

I think this artist was mentioned in one of our essays, i decided to have a look at his work because i thought that in related to my own work with old photographs. He found some old photographs of Amsterdam in a flea market and went and took new photographs of the same place and them superimposted the old ones onto the new images in a "ghost" like style. I think the images are a great way of looking into the past and re-using old images.

Miniature Art

Nikolai Aldunin

The miniature sculptor is a Russian artists who is famous for his microscopic artworks. I love how much detail is in the work, its made me really think about how much more detail I could get into my Dolls Houses work. I particularly like the camels in the eye of the needle and the humor of the saddle and stirrups for the flee!

Illuminated Doll's House :)

Attonement House

 

This is the Dolls house from the film Attonement that orriginally gave me the idea of making a miniture Platt Hall. You can see from the picture below that it is a replica of the real house that is used for the set of the film. This is what I want to do with Platt Hall by making it as accurate as possible. I really love this house as well as its pretty and symmetrical.
