My body sculpture was heavily based on armour and machinery. The whole piece took eight days to make and consisted of two separate parts; a corset piece and a hanging chain jewellery piece. I created the chains out of wire by manipulating it to get the desired shape, which I then attached using copper rods that I had spot welded to make a ladder shape. The corset/torso piece was made from strips of card that I had spray painted silver to give a more metallic appearance.

I was able to model my own work in the fashion show which allowed me to show off the full effect of the piece and the drama it created to an audience. The show, show cased four small collections of the combined work of myself and my colleagues. The collections were geometric, delicate, origami and machinery.

These images are photographs taken from the fashion show . Some of the photos include the stage design and lighting which I had designed and built. Our theme was machines and mechanisms; hence the cogs and coils.

This is one of the first life drawings which is made up of six continuous line drawings on an A1 sheet using pencil, each taking five minutes. Working at this speed meant that mistakes had to be included which very much helped with the task.

This development work is on an A1 sheet and was created as a starting point for a personal brief based on reflective materials. The page consists of artist research (Vorticism), drawings, photographs and sampling. The samples were made using spot welding and borax on both thin and thick copper.

At the beginning of my Art Foundation course I was put into a group to create an installation based on a visit to M.O.S.I. This continuous line drawing, that was created using only a fine liner, was drawn from that installation. We had fabric draped which created lots of shadows, highlights and dimensions.

One of the drawings I created from the installation was this A1 drawings. I did this using fine liner and a variety of other black felt tip pens, paired with water. The water was very useful for creating depth, texture and shadow. We purposefully created the installation coming out at the viewer to create depth of field, perspective and shadow. In addition to this, there were several spot lights on the piece from different angles to make layered shadows.
