Tutorial with Jo

I showed Jo an artist who I felt inspired by. Rosa Verloop is a sculpture artist who works stockings, stuffs them and twists them into a human figure. I was inspired by the textural qualities and began experimenting with the heat gun over tights on a ball of wire mesh. We thought about molding things over wire mesh after my experiment with the heat gun over the tights. I could use Plasticine  - something that won't dry. If I used clay, the sculpture would have to be fired. I could use filler - flexible/ rubbery.

Targets:

• Prepare portfolio for interview. Develop some ides and images from your sketchbook on to a larger scale (e.g. work on stretched paper or canvas)

• More primary research - you need to keep taking photos and making drawings so that you have additional fresh material from which to develop work back in the studio

• Add more contextual research to your sketchbook

• Add more colour and use a wider variety of media in your sketchbook

• Keep updating blog
