bogside in derry and other random things of interest

These are photos I took in the bog side gallery in derry dipicting the troubles.

the only way i can discribe this is a light stencil. tinny little holes in the stencil created shading  on the person in the foreground. Where as the person in the back ground is just a straight cut out stencil.

The start at the end :(

 this is where the idea began. By looking at local graffiti and how the layers combined to make some very interesting pieces.

 as you can see these images are from the same local graffiti artists baqsr & akacrap

 these are a few different book scuptures I found during my research.

This piecce I found when in dublin the hands and bodies were painted on but the faces were cast out of plaster and fixed to the wall. I liked the way in which the artist took the image off the wall.

 This was the image I had chosen to work from it is of a good friend of mine and I took the image so felt no guilt in choping it up.

first draft of the idea done on acetate and lite from behind with an LED.

End of year show

these are a few images from the first years end of year show.

Finished product

This is end result for my book project. It is inspired by the multi layered diagrams from old encyclopaedias. I enjoyed making this project because each layer by its self is nothing but when combined made quite an interesting image.

Layers

I like the use of an image to create a ground then overlaid with the main image.
