Love of Patterns

Yesterday I got two teeth pulled from my gums. So I have been resting in bed as my cheeks swell up like clouds, drawing and listening to Real Estate and Grimes live recording sessions. I have also been designing some fabric patterns for Bats of Leisure's new collection.

Animal head pattern 

tiny town pattern

Some more of Blue

My new favourite thing is inverting images on photoshop to look more spacey.

Moleskine time

Just got to scanning the pages of my Moleskine, it's been a long time.

Pencil Pendants stocked in Modern Times

Modern Times pop up shop is stocking some of my pencil pendants, there are not many left and after I use my last sterling silver screw there will be no more for a very long time (until i get the screw cast).

^here is a photo of them. They come with silk bead cord.

Bats of Leisure

I have been doing some embroidery for a collection of clothing I am collaborating on with my sister Aoife. It's called 'bats of leisure' and will be stocked in Lady Petrova very soon. I have also been screen printings some fabric.

Chopped wood.

I spent a lovely crafternoon with Julia in Warrandyte, drawing, making dream catchers and sewing. I also drew some icons on tiny log cuts when I got home. These are they:

Exploding bodies

'choice sox'

'rum barf'

twig eye

The first print on wood that I might call a 'final'. The twig is gilded gold, nice.

frame of bones and veins

Some drawing from my Moleskine

Screen Printed

For university I have been learning how the screen print. I am in the process of creating an installation of printed figures and large lino printed text on found wood. It will be a kind of shrine.

below are some prints on fabric that I will print some more of so that my sister aoife can use them to make dresses and pencils cases.

Twig print on navy cotton 

boy print on navy cotton 

stick collector on blue cotton

and here are some prints on paper, just playing around with colours and overlapping right now, the finals will be printed on wood. 

planting print 

smoking print 

3 layer boy 

boy with growth

stick collector in blue 

blue boy with faun twig

sex and death

Here are a few more silly drawings from my Moleskine, I have been doing lots of anatomical drawing for uni and thinking a lot about sex and death and the cicle of life, the fundamental drives of humans and decay. This is what came out I guess...

chopped wood

Rad radish 

Sex magnet

^ this is a drawing on an opened-out cigarette packet which I will be submitting to a group show at off the kerb gallery, the show is about recycling. This drawing can be read as three stages of existence, generation, physicality and degeneration.

The gold is hidden in firewood

Two new detailed figures in frames.

Pov Lyff

These are some drawings that will soon become screen prints for a series of works called pov lyff, which is about how being poor is pretty rad.
