'Bulge', 2020. . Some close ups of my most recent work I was able to do before the covid-19 outbreak called 'bulge'. I wanted to give you the audience's as close as possible experience as you can get through a digital perspective. . Therefore here I have some close ups of how the fabric is stretched by the weight of the flour and how the bungee cord allows the fabric to move. . #tights #belly #bellies #legs #fineart #art #plymouthuniversityfineart #plymouthuni #installationart #sculpture #sculpturalart #flour #balloon #water #fat #fatjudgement #noneedforhate #everybodyisworthy #hanging #construction #lumps #bodyfat #body #stomach #big #largescale #pressure #tention #stretch https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cbK_RHpFr/?igshid=5qzrohbiscy0

New sculptural installation coming along just in time for the formative assessments tomorrow. Bit of a shame we arnt able to have it physically with all of our works, and have to go digital due to Corona however, on the positive side the piece has turned out a lot better then how I first expected. . I found the materials both stretched and held strongly together and created a tention between the space which felt intense. I loved this, as it instantly reminded me of the constant pressures which i feel a larger person is put under in a western prejudice society. It also allows the viewers to consider this tention with the materials in relation the the flour. I think this work is really forming now I have added the flour anx it can hopefully be pushed to its limits further through my next two weeks hopefully! . #tights #belly #bellies #legs #fineart #art #plymouthuniversityfineart #plymouthuni #installationart #sculpture #sculpturalart #flour #balloon #water #fat #fatjudgement #noneedforhate #everybodyisworthy #hanging #construction #lumps #bodyfat #body #stomach #big #largescale #pressure #tention (at RWY Royal William Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B90CS3ank8E/?igshid=p4pkfjoefkb9

More playing around with the tights and flour. I decided to work backwards and see how the flour reacts in comparison to how the foam did. I also thought about the decision of the chair. It creates a link to how when we sit down our bellies lump over. . Moving on I want to see how it would look if I mixed these two sculptures together, creating a belly and legs in the sculpture. However that's for Monday as I need to catch up on some sketchnooking over the weekend :)) . #tights #belly #bellies #legs #fineart #art #plymouthuniversityfineart #plymouthuni #installationart #sculpture #sculpturalart #flour #balloon #water #fat #fatjudgement #noneedforhate #everybodyisworthy #hanging #construction #lumps #bodyfat #body #stomach (at RWY Royal William Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bzmgGHZl7/?igshid=18i2o2fnnuxt0

Finally decided today was the day to take down 'Untitled'. However it turns out from this destruction I ended up creating another experiment with my belt I was wearing. . Honestly I think this would work a lot better if I were to add more of the tights to the tangled ones hanging, therefore it would buldge out more when I tighten the top creating a more recognisable image ( that of a belly when a belt is tied too tight at the waist. I think I would also like to experiment with the belt being in the middle of the tights and not just at the top... could change how others perceive the work. . #fineart #art #plymouthuniversityfineart #plymouthuni #installationart #sculpture #sculpturalart #flour #balloon #water #fat #fatjudgement #noneedforhate #everybodyisworthy #hanging #deconstruction (at RWY Royal William Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XTpytnbps/?igshid=18lnmp8crjnwq

Squishhhyy. . Balloon, flour and water. . Moving on from the experiments simply with the flour weighing down the balloon, I decided to see how water will react with the foam within a balloon with no mixing except the indentations of my hand. . I honestly do love the texture and the way you can feel the lumps within the flour, it reminds me and many others of my peers of body fat. It may be time for me to consider using water within my other experiments to judge if this could work for me further in my practice. I'm really excited about this though. Busy few days ahead. . P.s. I'm also loving how it moulds. . #art #fineart #plymouthuniversityfineart #plymouthuni #installationart #sculpture #sculpturalart #flour #balloon #water #fat #fatjudgement #noneedforhate #everybodyisworthy (at RWY Royal William Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9R_e94nOom/?igshid=19uvwex73ysox
