About Me

My photo
Leeds, United Kingdom
I am studying the MA Advertising and Design, and have completed the BA Art & Design, also at the University of Leeds. With my work shown below, I had been exploring the properties of light, and the colours and shapes and forms which can arise through manipulating it. I explored this through the use of many different painting techniques, and I am currently exploring surface texture, and alternative techniques to applying the paint to the surfaces, ie. I avoided using paint brushes and prefer to work directly from the paint tube, or roll or press the object onto and into the paint, getting as involved in the creaton of a piece as I can. My work therefore takes on creation and a design through physical process. I have made studies of fire flickering, candles moved around a camera on a low shutter speed, fireworks exploding and laser projections.

New kid on the Blog...

Forgive me for the cliche. But I truly am the new kid on the blog, or any blog for that matter. So even considering where to start writing about, and about what, is baffling. But maybe about myself and what I am doing writing on here is a good place to start.

So, here I am; a Second Year Art & Design student at the University of Leeds (UK), and, as part of a Digital Design project, am required to create a ‘online self-promotional web page/portfolio’ - in short, a blog. Quite a daunting prospect, considering I mainly specialise in Painting and Sculpture, and like to dabble in Photography, and have just about mastered the new Windows Vista Microsoft Word and Paint, let alone having to make my very own web blog and links to examples of my work. Sure, I do have a MySpace account (but who doesn’t?!), where I have uploaded some information about myself, my work, and pictures of most of it, even dating from my A Level art (www.myspace.com/katsartcreations).

So yes, I am ‘another bloody student’, using up yet another perfectly good blog page with uncertainties and uploaded studio doodles. (Thank god the world wide web is infinite though!)

It is so difficult to decide what kind of tone to write in though, considering that this blog is being analysed and marked (maybe even at this very second) by the moderator for this module, and yet also considering that other people will (hopefully) be reading this blog too. I think I should try and write this how I would converse instead. Fingers crossed its acceptable. I hope my tutor appreciates my honesty anyway.
