'Light'

This image originated when I participated in Fringe Arts Bath (FAB) photomarathon. You can follow the link to my FAB networking site. They give us a date and a meeting point in Bath and there's a small fee to pay on the day (for development purposes) You then get handed a score card of 20 single descriptive words. This particular one hit the criteria: "Light" It's only after the event did I appreciate this shot, as the day is packed full! You hunt around bath trying to find the perfect shot and it has to be in order of the scorecard, so the organisers can relate to which shot you were trying to get! The work then got displayed at the Officers Club Bath in an exhibition with the rest of FAB activities 2011 [pictured above]

'Exposed'

This was the other work I displayed alongside Moorland Road (Launderette) [posted below] They're sized 10x14cm. The images are mounted behind perspex. This was the first time I'd experienced working with perspex and I learnt many new techniques along the way. I love the  small sizing of the work as it acts as an additional tool of observation to the criteria of the work. People literally peered in on the work, leaning in to have a look. The perspex added this extra zoom and distortion to it and the floating mount added this mystery and form of alienation.

This was the work I included in our Walcot Exhibition 166bpm 2011. I have won a Bathspa award: "The Excellence in Creative Arts Development Prize" all because of my work within the exhibition. Something of which I'm very proud of and earned a £50 book voucher for!

I also won a competition with this in November 2011 through an organisation known as Compas [follow them on twitter.] you can view the context of the competition here:

I won a prize plus it got published in a calander for 2012!

So I can safely say I am happy with the outcome of this image.
 

"Mine"

I attempted some sculptural work. It was a a suggestive tool to stop/ prevent the passers-by I photograph. To provide some  action within the imagery I snap. I placed it within this installation as a mini microcosm to how it would be seen in the real world.
