Abstract 9

Reworked previous abstract painting - 90x80 cm

Painting and drawing

On Thursdays I have been going to a class with Greame Drendel who has introduced me to gouache. I think I have come to like it thanks to his great tuition.

These are all 30 cm x 20 cm

And  bold use of coloured pencils blow

Using acrylics for some more experimentation

The first 2 are small 20x30 cm and 30 x 30 cm

Printmaking installation

Small installation made from the small pieces of tissue that I have been using to whip back my plate in  printmaking in semester 1.

Wonderful Photographer

Have just come across this great body of work by Iranian photographer Shadi Ghadirian

I particularly like this interesting commentary on the role of women - not just in Iran!
