Internet references used for the year 2011

www.mydancetheskull.com........Website based in the UK for underground music and arts. Looked at this site for inspiration in experimental music and also for the zine collection it links to.

http://liyenchong.com/collective.html Auckland based artist who uses traditional hair embroidery techniques to make contemporary images. I looked at her because I was interested in the amazing technical skill.

http://www.troelscarlsen.com/installations.html Amazing artist. I love this work because it is installation, objects, paintings and drawings. He has ideas that he is constantly working through but in new ways. I love his gothic painterly work and the antique works he projects onto, the anatomical aspect and the socio-political statements he is making.

http://wendytai.com/portfolio_current.htm I was looking at this work for the conceptual elements. I liked the ideas and also the work visually was very strong. I also like to file away artists with Bio's that I think were well written. I like this site a lot. It is really clear and easy to use.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/projecthdesign/collections/72157607635192566/ Design and shapes in school yards. Something to look at for familiar things.

I have been wanting to try new things out. Now I feel my strong point is with composition I want to see how much I have learnt and what I want to see. I want to include all sorts of media, photo's, pictures, mark making, painting, sculpture and minatures also.

I have been enjoying trying to do very little and trying to do it well.

I like the idea of having successful 2D pieces beside my 3D works. I like the idea of making compositions based on colour and shapes, structures to support each other.

I have a strong idea of what colour choices to make for particular bodies of work. For me the success would be when the whole body of work I make sits well together and forms a world, a narrative of it's own accord. When it prompts memories or reminds people of something or in fact when it creates something entirely new, the piece will be a success. That is all you can expect from something that has come from nothing. That which comes from humble beginnings only asks to be looked at and to be seen.
