The idea of using stains as a theme for the surfaces project came accidentally when I lifted up my cup to see a ring stain left on a piece of cloth. I started to create and develop stains investigating how they reacted with different materials and surfaces e.g. paper, large wooded areas and fabric.
To extend the stains experiments further I introduced photographic chemicals and the Photogram/Raygram process inspired by Man Ray introducing a series of drips and exploring the positive and negative space.
I was very pleased with how the ring stains on the photogram turned out and decided to experiment with these pictures using ICT, scanning them onto photoshop and manipulating the colours.
From there I moved into 3D and relief casting as I wanted to explore the outcome of lifting the stains looking at the height and depth while using the same colour scheme from my ICT experiments.
Recently I have been experimenting with ‘accidental’ stains e.g where a cup of tea was thrown at a white dress, whilst maintaining the colour scheme from previous works. I’ve stitched around the stains to enhance them which is influenced by Nava Lubelski who stitches around stains on table cloths, canvas, paper and sheets to expose the beautiful, colourful abstract movement of the stain.

Henry Moore
Henry Moore’s work has been investigated through process, scale and the relationship with both urban and natural landscapes. Moore’s works contain abstract and organic shapes and peirced forms largely centred on the of the human figure with themes such as Mother and Child and King and Queen and the Reclining pose.

Vladimir Tatlin
Vladimir Tatlin’s Tower formed the blueprint for avant -guarde architectural design for the twentieth century.
We have used the Russian Constructivist aesthetic using a set of architectural forms and introducing Surface, Pattern and Graphical techniques to create our own versions.
