Start of Summer Photography

I have recently been experimenting more with my SLR camera.

Here are a few photography pieces that I feel show off my newly learnt skills. The photos are reflections of my home, where my heart lies and the start of my summer.

Back Into The Earth

Back Into The Earth is what I exhibited for my first final year show. It consisted of a short 5 minute looped film of my performance and four accompaning photography pieces.

Back Into The Earth was originally a pure performance piece. However, it was easier to show the performance by film and photography.

By completely covering my body in mud I was able to remove my identity and almost cleanse my body of any impurities. It was a personal journey about renewing myself, by using a natural element such as mud, I was being cleansed by nature itself and as the mud was washed off, all of the impurities went back into the earth with the mud.

I enjoyed experimenting with being both the model and the artist, Jenny Saville was a major influence throughout my work. I feel that i achieved my aim well and was pleased with my final pieces. I feel that I still have more to give in this area and am looking for inspiration to help me continue with my practise.
