Human Narratives

Depicting human narrative using vintage photography, creating artwork and its story.
Body and bones, tonight it is the skull of an animal. Exploring tone with the For Enjoyment CIC group. Much gratitude, very helpful putting together the learning from the last few workshops into this one and applying shading. Exploring the building blocks of the body is certainly a fascinating journey, I can see why so…
Ok so I introduced the use of Cyanotype in my last journal blog, for those whom are not familiar Cyanotype is a photography printing process created by mixing two chemicals (ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide) using specialised paper. It can be used more widely than the special, artistic way of developing photo negatives. When…
So stage one exploring who we are as humans, who I am starts with awareness of the physical body. I have been exploring this in a number of ways but let’s start by sculpture and some Cyanotype. I have been pretty particular in exploring this body of mine, I’m coming at it with the perspective…
So over the next while I’m going to explore creative ways of exploring this question more deeply and widely. I will be doing this in amongst my usual sharing of learning new art skills and playing around with some known bug less explored ones. I have a specific set of journal prompts for the opportunity…
Before I begin the deeper exploration I’ve been playing around digitally making art journal images. Very much overlays, blending, backgrounds and pre prepared art in digital form. Fun to do if you need to fill some time.
A session with For Enjoyment CIC learning the basics of drawing this eve moving from light shapes building up into darker images. They are meant to be basic as the focus was the process of building a picture using blocks (shapes). Believe it or not I was never taught this and I can see how…
So I decided to experiment more with watercolour on thicker Derwent paper after a wonderful gift from a friend. As said previously this hasn’t been my forte or skilled approach however it is fast growing on me especially in a mixed media way. Here are just a couple of recent examples.
Example Illustration Of A Story From Ghana- Africa This evening a group of us had the lovely privilege of listening to stories told by the wonderful Gary Cordingley. We were to illustrate as he spoke, again another method out with my comfort zone but was a pleasure to experience. Not my best works of art…
Just a way to record natural mind process, entirely metaphoric like dreaming and free from precognition. Simple momentary arising and not easily decoded. A lovely way to monitor moments of mind stories as they pass like clouds. The collection will be pulled together to create a bigger picture in this Covid moment.
I’m not feeling my strongest connection with this style for now but there is a seed beginning to grow. Not my best skill but with time it may form. For now unknown but it was certainly fun taking part in the For Enjoyment Workshop and learning something entirely new. A surrealist art form but very…
I began these lockdowns with the full intention of having a free doodle hour per day. Just to map free flowing mind midst the chaos. However best laid plans and all. I instead have been working hard on an exhibition that you are invited to participate in just to offer some time out from what…
A brief play just experimenting with no goal in mind. It started wonderful somehow I had a dripping iris and eye, it was somehow neat (comfort zone) then it turned a little grunge. Was not comfortable in the slightest thought I was going to discard of it as a complete write off. I pushed through…
Having no idea what this ink was or what it was used for I’ve just been experimenting with different applications. Got some inspiration from a piece of art I found on Pinterest. I’m fascinated by the shadow, the other side of what we do not see or catch moments of reflections in. Not sure why…
A wonderful session with the For Enjoyment Group CIC learning Frottage. Never tried this before but how fascinating and amazing opportunities to continue to experiment with. Many mediums many differing backgrounds. So far pastel is my favourite. More experimenting afoot!! Nature is such a beautiful experience as is art from nature. Some worked some failed…
