Artist in residence proposal

The Aesthetic of Absence

During my residency I propose to create a body of work exploring the aesthetic of absence, focusing on oil painting, sculpture and digital rendering. Through the exploration of The Absence of Aesthetic I will focus on the main elements of art, colour, form, shape, line, space and texture. These will be important to my proposal as I intend to create minimal sculptures and paintings which focus on the use of space and form predominantly, using the sculptures as an influence, I can then paint them onto canvas, incorporating them into different types of forms, colour and mediums.

Having this opportunity would be a great starting point for me to focus on an online presence and content creation via Tik Tok, Instagram etc. This opportunity would also give me time to explore what I would like to do with the coming years, like a PHD or a more independent role within the art community like self employed.

What do I do Next?

I am going to continue with playing around with blender and start making other animations and renders, I might move away from the sheet ghost and focus onto something else, although I cant say I am getting bored of them because I am not. I love the way they look with the different wind speeds you use while rendering. I also love how the colours respond to the different sections of the scene.

I am also going to carry on with the titanic projects, I have quite a few lined up right now, along with other commissions, I am definitely going to carry on looking for a paid job instead of working at Tesco because I need to get out of there. Its a waste of time for me.

My Show

Here are some of the pictures in the hallway

There is a painting hidden underneath a sheet on the right hand side

Along with my show I have a series of prints available to be sold along with resin printed sheet ghosts as keyrings.
