Hello again! I thought I would share some examples of my work, most of which was created in the last year on my foundation. Mark making, drawing and printmaking are areas that I have found a real enjoyment from. Before I started the foundation I lacked real confidence with my drawing but foundation taught me new ways of thinking that has made me realise there are so many ways that drawing can be interpreted. I have learnt that it is such a fundamental part of printmaking and documenting ideas that it is something I am determined to become better at.
I first saw Sophie's work on Instagram, she has recently graduated from Falmouth University. I love her use of colour and shape combination in her collages. She has a great eye for combining these to create striking pieces of work. I caught up with her to learn more about her influences and why she loves to create work. What have you learnt about yourself while studying at Falmouth University? I found out what really drives my art. Before I started, I was very confused and didn't really know what I was trying to communicate. The second year of uni came around and I suddenly felt I knew what it was all about. Collage just kind of erupted everywhere. This is my favourite piece of Sophie's work. I think the combination of found imagery and colours works so well together. What artists/designers influence your practice? Well, lets start with the big names... Kandinsky, Josef Albers... Bridget Riley. Composition , colour... they're just all so inspirational i
