Vanessa Beecroft

while researching for my photography elective, i have discovered a new artist love, Vanessa Beecroft. Her work instantly reminded me of The chapman brothers, who i have a massive passion for. Her work is mainly performance, but captured into the most incredible photographs.

While researching further, alot of her work is to do with eating disorder and the the body obsession with women, which has influenced a vas majority of my own fine art work in the past.

I find her work fascinating, intriguing and the bold stark colours visually very appealing.

Depressed

i hate my elective, i feel like a caged animal

Year two so far

Lessons learned:

never let ian pick you a group.

This project has been the worst and most stressful thing i have ever had to do.

The only outlet i have had is getting back into drawing again, and being bullied into doing womenswear by an absent group was maybe a good thing because i have at least opened my horizons to new ideas...

However I am very proud of my coat i have constructed, i am gutted it does not fit me and genuinely quite miserable that i am being bullied into giving it to my slim armed flatmate who looks very nice in it.

Aside from my design development and my final garment, The rest of my work is a disaster i am unmotivated and actually becoming depressed whenever the mere thought of it enters my head.

And sitting here in my elective, in a dark tiny mac room having spent all day on fucking computers is not helping my mood in the slightest.
