Erosion

Looking at time passing through nature:


I talked about erosion in my last post so this is some of the research iv done since. This is the most interesting thing about time and how it has effected the landscapes across the world. It seems to be such a gradual process but completely changes the landscape around the sea. This is definitely something i am going to look into more.


Age and Nature: How do things age? Slow, fast? How can we tell somethings age?

The spider web is of particular interest because it is a drawing by Vija Celmins. She is a very detailed artist who spends time getting her artwork perfect. The spider web is so delicate and says a lot about the time the artist put into depicting it and also the time the spider spend going round in circles to build this. The other idea i liked was that this can be gone within seconds even though it took all of that time to build.

Gallery Visit

On my trip to the gallery i picked out a painting i thought could be related to time. The picture was a mountain scene from Norway and was painted in 1885. Initially the towering mountains drew me into the picture but as i walked closer it was actually the stillness of the water that was running through the middle. The picture had captured a moment in time but what really struck me was that if you were to go back to the place where this was painted in 2010 the picture would look reasonably the same. Only the very small details would have changed.

Time does not always have to be passing by quickly, sometimes the small changes are the ones easily missed. This has led me to think more about nature and erosion which is something i will be following up in my next blog...

On Kawara

Very interesting artist in his portrayal of time. He painted the month, date and year of each day. The same colours were usually used and the same type would be painted perfectly. If however he did not get his painting finished on the day he started it he would always destroy it. It is almost like if he did not reach the goals of the day the time would have been wasted.

Artists: Time

Martin Puryear - Ladder for Booker T Washington


Depicting time: Huge ladder giving a false perspective of it almost going up into space. I think this represents the journey of life. It is quite nostalgic that when you are at the top you can look back down on your life and the runners are your achievements.

Paul Pfeiffer


Time passing by in nature as the sun rises and sets. The video takes a long time to watch as it is done in slow motion so that you can hardly see the sun moving. You can however see the birds more clearly because they are moving so slow so it is a good way to pick out details.

Project on Time:

My third year uni project is on the subject of Time. There are not many constraints to the project so i am going to conduct my initial research through my blog and see where it takes me.

Art 21 Website is the first thing I looked at and watched their programme on time. I will be posting up some interesting artists that I found on here shortly...

A-Level work

This is a cd cover i designed for the band Centurion. I took all of the photographs and painted the tree in the fore ground. Also did an advertising campaign for them which included the poster underneath.

Magazine Advert





Another bit of advertising for my paracetamol shot. Getting across the selling point of the shot, you dont need a glass, water, 16 paracetamol, fumbling with the blister packet, two paracetamol. All you need is the shot. The second example is how it would look in a magazine with a small pic of each item at the bottom of the page. It would span 6 pages.

Paracetamol Project


Project Brief: to re-design Paracetamol.
My idea: Quick and easy. Instead of buying 16 paracetamol packet and a bottle of water there is a solution! The paracetamol shot that contains water and has two dissolvable paracetamol in the lid. Quickly shot it for instant relief whn on the go or keep on in your bag as they are small neatly packaged. What do you think??
