By chance, I happened to notice a pile of carrier bags that were accumulating in the corner of my dorm\u2019s entrance due to my suite mates\u2019 takeaway addiction \u2013 these proving to achieve my desired aesthetic and symbolic effect for multiple reasons: Aesthetic \u2013 My final outcome would ultimately be several carrier bags with drawings on them hung up against the wall. Symbolic \u2013 The idea of the carrier bag made me really reflect on the fact that we carry so many people in our lives \u2013 whether we see particular striking people who happen stick in our minds, or of course the people we remember and stay close to our hearts, and even the occasional wacky (for me at least!) person seen in our dreams. One of my favourite elements is the fact that the work quite literally protrudes out, further enhancing the textural impact, whilst also adding depth and dimension. Additionally, I believe I successfully fulfilled my goal of incorporating texture into these drawings \u2013 achieved through a range of mark making and tones. In my opinion, the most skilful example of this would have to be the blue wash jeans \u2013 with the pointillism replicating the denim\u2019s fibre content and the darker tones imitating the fabric\u2019s folds, creating this energetic sense of form. Furthermore, all of the drawings\u2019 textural elements are only intensified by the bags\u2019 own \u2018imperfect\u2019 textural qualities \u2013 rough, folded, crumpled, greasy, ripped, stapled \u2013 which I believe only emphasises the overall dynamism of these unique, special and perhaps even somewhat bizarre individuals who have stuck in my mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16621,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16620","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-1"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
