The Futility

Inspired by my engraver. And surrealism of course (:

A Face From the Nose Aroundwards

This drawing is titled such because I literally started from the nose, and worked my way around the face, which was interesting because I usually start with the outline of the face. I am fascinated and inspired by Surrealism, and have been trying to incorporate elements of it into my own work.

A tropical country....

The haze in Singapore making everything look surreal and smell smoky.

Observational sketches

More pen on paper sketches

 Pomegranate

Ceiling fan

Squirrel on a Backpack

Disclaimer: Neither the birds nor the image of the man with the squirrel are my own, I adapted them from photos I found online and thought were really awesome.

Pen on paper (:

Intimacy

First of all, sorry for not posting for so long! I got home from uni a few days ago, and things have been a little insane since. I just managed to find time to re-install photoshop, and to transfer this photo from my camera, so here goes:

They're small sculptures made from air-dry terracotta clay, a bit larger than the size of my hand. They took longer than expected (as always) but Im happy with the end result ;D

Hiding

A painting on wood I did a while back, one of my favs.

After the Scream - complete

Painting inspired by Edvard Munch's The Scream!

Blob experiments

Connection

Bear

Playing around with watered down black and white paint.

Scrapbooking my first year at university

Whoops sorry this is so long, can't work out how to hide part of the post unless somebody clicks? This is (kind of) representative of my first year at uni, minus the studying bit.

Puzzle

A 2000-piece jigsaw. I know most people wouldn't consider it art, but I find the process of doing it strangely similar to art-making. It is enjoyable, relaxing, frustrating, therapeutic and time-consuming lol.

Matter

This painting... is essentially black paint + the remains of my last painting. I like how it turned out though.

Ship of Promises

Further experiments with copper paint, love the shimmery-ness of it. I added cut up plastic over the top this time, in the shape of a ship (hard to see it properly in a photo). I want to continue playing with this copper paint, feels like it has so many possibilities. The title of this work is inspired by a song by the band Villagers.

Artistic Detritus

Just an experiment mixing different paints and adding air-dry clay, some of which was already dry and I crushed into a powder to sprinkle over.

Triplets

Black and white acrylic on canvas

After The Scream - In progress

After Edvard Munch's 'The Scream', absolutely love the power of that painting.

A clay pot with mehendi (henna) inspired designs in pastel.

Waiting

Pins on styrofoam

Just some photographs

Taken using my phone.

Plaster Man

Learned that newspaper armature absorbs water ('duh!!) and plaster strips are a LOT easier than mixing your own plaster.
