Sexual relationship sandwiches - ?

Image
With each sandwich will I put a description? A full name? How do I label them? There are reasons for which Chris MacLean is egg mayo and Darren Ellis is jam with crusts cut off. Your typical 'spice boy' kinda asshole. English boy that claimed to be a DJ and lied about his age, the fact I met him through tinder explains everything. Thought he had the biggest dick on earth when in reality he's that egg mayo sandwich that's left on the shelf to go out of date because nobody buys egg mayo if there are a variety of better choices.  The perfect type of sandwich to enhance the personality of a guy who doesn't drink coffee because he doesn't like the taste of it, goes for hot chocolate instead. Very smart, but so boring. A jam sandwich is a guy who loves his car too much and is scared of his parents.  These images I grabbed off google, they're not mine. Still need to make the decision of what other fillings to use for the others, o...

The people I've slept with

I have always been a huge fan of Tracey Emin, Her bed, her tent and all her embroidery pieces and even her mono prints. She's real and I really dig that.  Every time someone asks me what I study I chuckle whilst I tell them all about Contemporary Art, and they often ask me what I plan to do after my degree. I always answer that I want to own a restaurant or bar of some sort. My passion definitely lies in the creative industries but working in catering is something I enjoy maybe a little bit too much for what it actually is. I love talking to people when they are out socialising with friends or family, the variety of stories I hear and people I meet is truly fascinating. This passion started back when I was 15 and got my first waitressing job. There is something about working with people that makes me happy.  This is starting to sound an awful lot like a CV hahaha. I want to link this passion in with my creative practice somehow. For a while, I have ...

Beautiful souls

I finally belong. I have met the most beautiful souls, a bunch of weirdo's, who helped me become my truest, best self. So much love for all my best friends, I couldn't have asked for anything more. 

Minimalism

Collecting is in our basic human nature, since we are first born we are taught to have both emotional relationships and attachments with objects; usually a cuddly toy or comfortable blanket for sense of security. As we get older, those objects we collect change to things such as stamps, coins or ornaments and collecting becomes a pleasurable activity. I am curious to find out why we, being complex human beings, feel the need to collect, to how collecting can have a negative influence on us and why minimalism can be a much more beneficial lifestyle choice for our mental wellbeing.    A habit that is uniquely human, started 12,000 years ago when our ancestors settled down for homes and evoked an assemblage of items that helped them get through day to day life. Gathering now, has become a conscious fault in our life choices. It is concerning that as much as one in three people in the UK collect 'something' which breaks down to one third of our population having a strong senti...

I always said to myself that I would only ever get a tattoo if I got it done professionally and a design that I'd wanted for a long enough time to be sure I wouldn't regret it  oops I bought a stick and poke kit and tattooed myself, and many other people unfortunately  My friend Verity really got me into reading my horoscope, I know that they are a lot of shit but I just quite like the idea of getting up in the morning, having my coffee and fag whilst reading my horoscope. Sometimes if the horoscope tells me that I've worked hard and need to take time to rest I listen to it. I have also taken an interest in finding out peoples star signs when I meet them, I can see a pattern going on with the people I get on with and their star signs... This tattoo is the representation of an air sign. Libra being one and me being a libra. Ok so I've always wanted a sun, didn't really know what kind of sun and where but the sun was a must. Caus...

Body

Image
Now that I am looking at this work again after a while, I guess it would be considered a 'winter depression' when things are bad in winter, they are really bad and this work proves that for me. I handed this in late, my description for it was - "the reason I didn't go to art school for weeks" Which basically was drug abuse and feeling sorry for myself for it.  Now I'll go into a bit more detail about it. I basically skived the whole duration of this project titled "body" and instead I sat in my room for weeks doing drugs and drinking. I was also going through a wave of feeling like I need to see someone about my health issues earlier that semester, I'd waited for them to send me a form for a while and during the time I was on a drug binge the form finally arrived. It triggered me into feeling really awful even though I was a lot better. I filled the form in and was going to send i...

Film vol1

Now that first year is over I wanted to dedicate some time to really appreciate how much it changed me - how it helped me finally become my best, worst and completely true self. I have made friends with some of the most beautiful souls, I have been through a lot of ups and downs but in the end it all collided to make an amazing year as a whole. First year of art school was a lot more than I had ever hoped for, not in education but in my life, such an important part of me was created during this time and I fucking love who I've become.  So I made a film. It captures some of the most significant moments, all the images are taken in Aberdeen and in the time that I have been in art school. Isn't the best, but it is my first ever film, to be honest it is more like a slideshow with music but fuck it, I do really want to start using film as a medium so during the summer I'm going to try and teach myself how to do it well. Song - Congratulations by MGMT Images are all my o...
