Megan's Art Space

I thought I would share with you the piece of writing I presented to go alongside my final exhibition at the end of my Foundation at Falmouth University. I chose to present this in the form of a hand-stitched book which I made. (This was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I really enjoyed the whole process.) There are some images of my work that were on display throughout this post! I hope that this post gives to an insight into the way I work and think. The concept organising chaos was where my inspiration for this project began. This would also accurately describe my working method.    I have found that the skill and focus required to make marks and translate them into print s is what has driven my work.   Representational drawing presented limitations and has not allowed me to explore freely the emotional value of simple mark making.   I have always been interested in depicting texture through repetitive mark making.   I have chosen...

Hi there! This is my first blog post, I thought I would start by introducing myself. My name is Megan and I am an art student about to start a degree in BA drawing at Falmouth University.  I have recently finished my foundation where I have found a passion for the process of printmaking. I am a very chaotic person and the process means I have to work methodically and it slows down my ideas meaning I'm thinking more and refining. I find the whole idea of printmaking meditative and I'm able to lose myself completely in the process.  Some pictures of the studio I worked in at Foudation at Falmouth Uni. I am starting a blog to document my thoughts, progress and work to show to a new audience. On this blog I hope to also do reviews of exhibitions, artists inspiration and other influences. I hope you'll stick with me and enjoy looking at my work. Photos of my final exhibition at falmouth, May 2015 You can find me on other social media at  Instagram: @meganfatharly  Faceboo...
