Wire Portraits

I like the qualities you get from the lack of control you have over the wire.


Alexander Calder
This artist has used the qualities of of the wire very well I think creating a really interesting portrait.

Drawing on collage grounds

I created some grounds from collage and emulsion paint to create something interesting to draw on.
These drawings were done without looking at the page, creating these strange images.
Eduardo Recife
Drawing on textured grounds gives it a more of an interesting quality, like the work of this artist.

Portraits made from stuff


Looking at portraits made from objects. We got to know each other in groups of 3 to help with the portraits and used what objects we could find the reflect these attributes.
Me; curly hair, big lips.



Abi; blonde hair, cig.

Christian Voltz
An artist that creates characters out of found objects. I like the charm created by the loose wire-work.
