Slide 14-17:

I am currently exploring the theme of my past and how I felt when I had

traumatic experiences. I intend to explore my feelings about three major

issues, which happened to me when I was 13. My Mum getting breast cancer,

My Grandma being diagnosed terminally ill and my Dad moving to Australia.

The artists that have influenced me are SU Blackwell and her installation:

’Remnants.’ And also Shelly Goldsmith and her installation: ‘Inner Storm’. They

have influenced my choices of material and the techniques I am going to use.

I really liked the fact that Goldsmith uses a garment and presents her emotions on the

inside of the dress through carefully chosen imagery and text. I am going to use this idea of feelings on the inside of garments in my own work. I am going to pick a garment, which I think represents

each person and the issue I was faced with. I am going to embellish a part of

the inside of that garment with materials like calico and cotton and

incorporate other materials into my work such as text, photos, paper and clear plastics.

I am going to draw with the sewing machine and also use images of my Mum,

Grandma and Dad, and sew into them and manipulate them.
