the idea of my project is what makes us different from the meat we consume.

very very basic idea of my overall degree show... Its just to demonstrate the different elements. printed tablecloth, figurative baby, plates.

Hunter becomes the hunted.

My Artist Statement

An animal is defined as any living organism characterised by voluntary movement. My aim is to use this broad definition to show our own skewed perception of animals and what we find acceptable to eat. I hope to take this perception of meat and animals and twist it so as to achieve a strong reaction from the viewer. I will show that the idea that it is more ethical to eat certain animals then others is a hypocritical one and to challenge peoples view of an animal and meat being two separate things.

I aim to draw a strong reaction, positive or negative, with my work. I like to create pieces that can start a conversation or debate. I want to attract, shock, and interest the viewer in by creating a scene. A table setting, fit for a banquet. I want to allow everyone to experience a world where the hunter becomes the hunted. We will hopefully begin to see a new perspective, the reality of what we consume. So we can begin to acknowledge the choices we make every-day.

apologies for neglected blog!

Ok im back and I will officially start the actual blogging now!
The work I have began doing in the second part of my college year has changed a lot. I am no longer  relying on just the printed surface to express my concept. I am exploring figurative ceramics.Inspired by hyper realist scuptors like Sam Jinks and Ron Meuck.
