Sculpture Elective

We were given a brief the first day, it was based on our senses and vital signs - (Corporeality). After intense brainstorming we all ended up with a verb,  mine was 'Staining'. And thats where it all began!

Fist I documented everything in our daily life that is stained by taking lots of photographs, from tea towels, clothes to walls and the body.Then I began by staining everything I could think of. This didn't really appeal to me as it was very contrived. I looked at the idea of staining cells under a microscope, ie. cancerous cells, for something so horrible the images were actually quite beautiful. Then i created my own and also made videos playing with inks and paints.
