I like that when you look at this sculpture you notice something new each time. I like that the detail and intricacy was easily achieved. I'd love to make this piece light up but I think that the filament somewhat glows anyway.

I was disappointed that couldn't include more of the lightbulb glass as most of it became tiny fragments. Despite this, the filament of the bulb was by far my favourite component. It feels mechanical almost alien. I would’ve liked to have made the piece bigger or included multiple smashed light bulbs. A larger or instillation piece would make it really feel like a growing thing.

I ended up not liking the print that that glass shards made. I think it feels flat and lifeless. I much prefer the 3D aspect of my work although I did enjoy the process.

I think the droplets of ink make this feel like a crime scene photo. Like all of the markings are intentional and meaningful.

Watching it grow from that bottom base piece like vines. It feels almost floral, or like leaves that have fallen from a tree.

I think as a whole the bulb was the less effective object. I struggled with making it not look like a bulb. Once I had realised that I knew it would just be easier to embrace it. Even as a part of the whole piece you know what it originally was, but at least you don’t know why it was used or what it is now. I really do like the way this photo turned out. I edited it to make it over exposed and stark. It’s not warm like it is in real life, it’s subtly aggressive.

I like that at every stage of working with both the bottle and the bulb there was something interesting. How the light reflects, how the glass sits and the new shapes the shards create.

I love the way the ink has stained the bottom of the bottle and how the light comes through it. I would like to explore that more, maybe creating some kind of light fixture or shining light through the bottle shards.

Shapes created using the bottle, bulb and stick. The stark graphic lines feel intentional yet occurred completely serendipitously. I really enjoyed this process and the outcome. I think not having the parts I created using the stick would have made the piece far less effective.

I wanted this piece to feel really chaotic and dense on the one side and then disperse as your eyes move from left to right. almost as if the left side is the centre of the storm and its force and impact lessens as it moves. I think I could have pushed this even further. Perhaps by making this piece bigger or one of many.

I like the hand drawn aspect of this piece however, the ink seeped into this paper in a different way. Meaning the ridges at the bottom of the bottle were lost, which were my favourite detail.

I struggled with finding interesting ways to photograph both the bottle and the bulb. Then I realised what really made them interesting was the light and how it reflects off of them. This photo is a prime example of this.

I really like the outcome of this stop motion video. It is simple but effective. I could see this accompanying my sculpture. Playing in the background of an instillation art piece.

I love that even the lines from the printer, a mistake, have added another component to my collage. The photos feel almost retro or aged.

A light bulb. A source of brightness and energy. This could not be more contrasted by the dark black ink.

My favourite part of the bottle is the ridges on the bottom. They reminded me of something like a millepede or markings of an iris.

I really like the playful aspect of Dada. That it can be political and powerful but also not pretentious. It doesn't claim to be anything it's not, it's the epitome of fun meets art.

I'm not as keen on the outcome of this collage as much as I thought I would. I wanted the centre image to have built up parts using the same image over and over. However, I don’t feel that this technique turned out as I had hoped. Maybe if I went even further and built the image up more it would be more impactful.

When I thought about me I thought about how much I like to paint. In the background of this collage are some of my favourite wall hangings that I’ve made cut up and jumbled up. They are me. They are how I relax and express myself.
