Sewn Heart, Lungs and Kidneys.

Carrying on with my 2nd year degree work. I made these 3 sewn pieces. 
The heart is cushion sized and made from red velvet. The other two pieces are made from coloured fabric. The lungs I embellised with sequins to represent the shape of the lung.















Knitted dissected animals.

This was a little bit of fun during my project on the internal body. I wanted to look at something other than human organs, so I decided to knit a dissected frog and rat.
They are made from wool and mounted in a wooden frame.





Internal body paintings.

These are two paintings that I did during my 2nd year at univeristy. Carrying on with the internal organs and body theme. 
They are both oil on canvas.







The internal body.


This was my second year of my Fine Art degree at Loughborugh. I was looking at the internal body and our organs. These are mini paintings of organs mounted on to a wooden frame.
Oil on canvas.







Cells.

This was my first year final piece. I was looking at cells of the body. This piece was looking at how a cell grew, and split in two when it was reproducing. 
They are 6ft x 3ft, oil on canvas, with added beads and 3D plaster.












Nature project continued.


Continuing with my nature project during my foundation year, I then went on to make a sculpture using wire and yew tree. I made the main body of the figure using chicken wire, and I then wove pieces of yew tree in to the chicken wire until it was completely covered.






Nature project.

This was a sculpture that I made during my Foundation year. I was looking at nature and humans, and I wanted to make something that combined the two. It is made from pieces of wood that I found in my garden, held together with various pieces of wire and screws. It is life size.
