The work that I have submitted illustrates my exploration in three dimensional form of the human body and other subjects. At the start of the course I initially experimented in different areas of art and design, for example camera studies, still life drawing and mixed media. Once this diagnostic period was over I was placed into a specialist group focused on 3D design as I was recognised to have a natural talent in 3D modelling. The card figures represent the first body of work in my new specialist pathway, having started the main part of the course. I am currently engaged in exploring natural forms and geometric shapes, recreating them in mixed media, producing 2D and 3D work.
Problem solving, I believe is the main reason why I like 3D design. The briefs that were presented to me offered a range of technical problems that I looked forward to solving in my creative work.
Photography is another interest of mine which I indulge in while travelling, making sure that I photograph anything interesting on the way. Photography is an easy way of recording detail. I find it very satisfying to work with my hands, using different materials. I always yearn for perfection in my work and the only way I can think of doing this is by accurately analysing and reshaping the subject. So manual contact with materials has always been a big part of my art.
I am continually searching for inspiration in the natural world and field of design to find inspiration e.g. culture, music and film. I never turn away from a challenge as this fuels my creativity. I am always looking to improve my knowledge and understanding of techniques, materials and processes. I am interested many areas of design.
I am drawn to the 3 dimensional design course at
Manchester Metropolitan University because it offers me an opportunity to further explore new materials and techniques. The University has excellent workshop facilities which I look forward to utilise in my creative work.
