| Introduction | The work I am submitting comprises of some GCSE and A level pieces. In my first year of Sixth Form I was inspired by the works of Jenny Saville, which consequently impacted my work and my approach to art. I was also influenced by artists Chuck Close, Georgia O’keeffe, and Wolfgang Tilmans. I am currently in the process of an installation project, based on society and the reasons behind the public sharing of private issues. I intend to visually represent individual life stories as a collection of objects. Inspiration behind the use of existing objects within my work came from Tracy Emin and Joseph Cornell. My installation work also holds similar connections with zeitgeist artists such as Walid Raad (whose work is currently exhibited at the White Cube.) Raad’s work is relevant to mine, as it is based on documenting history/fictional history. My fascination with others’ work is what steers me to many art exhibitions in my spare time. I consider myself a highly motivated individual, with an appetite for work and a strong passion for art. I am constantly amazed and excited by the way artists want to represent themselves and their view of the world. |
