ART IN A COFFEE CUP:


 PAINT - HARMONY - URBAN

We know that the whole creation is groaning together and suffering labour pains


Paddy Mcaloon

I Trawl The Megahertz

- wrote while recovering from eye surgery for retina detachment that meant he couldn't read. He listened to the radio, was on medication that made him very sleepy, and as he tuned in and out of the voices on the radio he began to imagine music.
- I like this synthesis of life leading to art, authentic inspiration. 

B.V Doshi (Architect)

- I had a 6th sense about Doshi, when I saw his name, before knowing anything about him or his work I knew he would be one of my favorite artists.
- Doshi inspires me not only in my work but in the way I would like to live my life.
- Creates a harmony in his design as well as designing buildings for urban settings.

Steven Meisel (Fashion Photographer)


- I feel like I could just look and look and look at his pictures - for hours. I wish I could hold them in front of me a leaf through them.
- I really like his extensive use of black and white - it's refined, it's glamourous, colour would feel too much.
- you can tell he likes Fellini - he shoots women like Fellini did... somehow.
- the first photograph of his that I ever saw was the Bella Hadid Vouge Cover and I was just like, 'wow this is genius!'
- something about the fashion world with all its clothes and models and photographers and eating disorders and meanness and judgement really scares me. Like it actually frightens me, I feel uneasy looking at the photographs. I admire Meisel's work but feel alienated from it. Which maybe adds to the experience. 

Kate Hawley (Costume Designer)


- she is energetic and full of enthusiasm.
- her extensive research makes the costumes feel very fleshed out - the costumes in the films she's worked on always stand out.  A work of art within a work of art.
- she has flair, she is as much a storyteller with her costume decisions as the writers. You can tell she reads a lot. 
- costume design seems like architecture to me, I like that it is designed to serve a clear purpose. I like that you can take into consideration a characters personality traits and the narrative and build that into the garment.

Dogme 95 & The Minnesota Declaration

-
Image
Dogme 95 "My supreme goal is to force the truth out of my characters and settings." What interests me about the Dogme 95 manifesto (the films it produced, and the people that produced it) is the reactive response it tends to provoke. There was lots of literature out there on the web about Dogme 95, a stark contrast to my research into Valentine de Saint-Point. Dogme 95 was a response to the CGI-blockbusters that (may have lacked artistic integrity) had huge budgets out of reach of independent filmmakers. But even saying this makes me feel uncomfortable - it feels like a too text book way to describe anything that provokes von Treir. I think people resent the manifesto, and von Trier because he makes people anxious. He makes people anxious because you never know how seriously to take him; Dogme 95 is no different. After reading out the ‘Vow of Chastity’ and manifesto in the Paris Odeon, von Trier threw red leaflets containing the manuscript into the crowd, declared he could ...

Moments of Passion and Pain (2021)

Moments of Passion and Pain  "Not being able to feel the pleasure of seeing a magnificent landscape with someone else is a form of torture. That is why I started taking photographs. I wanted to eternalise those moments of passion and pain" - Abbas Kiarostami Moments of Passion and Pain  is a multi-media zine comprised of original photographs (35mm), poems, prose, and illustration. It was produced for my second-year FMP at college.   The title Moments of Passion and Pain (I'll refer to it as MoPaP from here on) is a reference to  the filmmaker and photographer Kiarostami whose nature photography and attitudes towards art heavily inspired me. Throughout the zine I also reference E.M Forster, whose eternal genius and understanding of life, I hope to reference more  in my work.  The zine can mean anything you want it to mean or absolutely nothing at all. But if you happen to be interested what I had in mind as I designed it, read on. I was inspired to mak...

Armour for The Apocalypse: A New Fashion Era

A NEW FASHION ERA : ARMOUR FOR THE APOCALYPSE Harry, Yasmin, Mike, Luke, Carla BRAINSTORMING RESEARCH - We researched sustainable materials. MOODBOARDS PLANNING AND MOCK UPS PROCESS - the hands on the logo is ESL for 'horse', there are 4 to symbolise the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The colours represent the colours of those horses. The eye is a reference to the biblical description of angels and a symbol of judgement, enlightenment, and conscience. - The materials we used were all clothes that we don't wear anymore, lots of the clothes we used had become to small for us. To make a pattern for the hoodie we unpicked an old hoodie. For the arms we used a pair of sweatpants. I liked this way of making clothes - it made me unexpectedly happy to see my old sweatpants become something new. - We also had time to quickly make a gillet out of our unused scraps. If we had more time I would have liked to have spent more time making it more structured. - the ribbon detailing on th...
