3 March 9.9x5.3cms Metal, painted wood, rubber, glass, stone. On my Foundation I explored the Expanded notion of Painting through assemblages of found objects from Wilson Road's car park. I liked how the man-made materials became weathered and natural outside. Most of the materials used to be part of a larger whole but have been broken apart outside by the elements. This sculpture demonstrates the process of stacking and fitting together different materials. This piece reminded me of Hernan Ardila Delgado’s sculptures.

3 March 6.7x5.7cms Cork, plastic, stone glass, slate. This playful sculpture demonstrates the sense of balance which is used in all of my sculptures. I feel there is a rawness to the sculptures being able to fall and come apart. I find it satisfying how the glass sits perfectly on the flat slate. The neon pink draws the eye up to the pinnacle. I noticed similarities with Matthew Ronay's 'The Kernel' in that the pieces formed a pinnacle, getting smaller in size as the wood fits together.

8 January 12.4x6.4cms Painted brick, plastic, stone. This was my first sculpture, inspired by the colours used in Vermeer and Beuckelaer’s paintings. I liked the surreal uneven shape of the eroded brick and the bold simplicity of the piece. The colours contrast to stand out. This sculpture was the turning point in my work where I moved from painting and drawing to sculpture. By chance the piece of plastic I found in the bottom of my bag perfectly fitted onto the brick, beginning an exploration into found objects fitted together. This was my first assemblage.
