AUCB Free Range Silent Auction - April 2010
As my final year began to draw to an end we all began planning how we were going to continue raising the £4000+ we needed to finance our degree show in London as part of the Free Range exhibition. So cue another silent auction, this time in collaboration with BA Photography. I submitted this 'Great Bear of Solitude' for the show and received admiration from three of the photography lecturers and £40 towards the £600+ we made in total. So not bad.
The piece is a symbol of solitary strength represented by the bear and its lonesome way of life.
Signs Of Solitude (Spiritual Solitude) - Third Year Work - December 2009
The other area of solitude I chose to explore featured the way people choose isolation as a personal choice to be at one with a higher prescence and to gain a higher form of spirituality. I looked at the ancient order of Hermits and Anchorites for this unit and this is where my interest in religious iconography and surreal spin on worship began to take hold.
Signs Of Solitude (Emotional Solitude) - Third Year Work - December 2009
As part of my Negotiated Practice unit for my final year at university I decided to look at and represent the idea of how solitude, isolation and alienation affects people in different ways. As usual I looked at signs and signifiers in contextual theory to represent my surreal photographic visualisations in a symbolic form of solitude. My first investigation lead me to look at colour and mind relates to notions of how people shut themselves off from the world and bar themselves from interaction in their own personal prisons.
