After visiting a number of archives, I found that none of
the work we looked at was particularly inspiring me. I found that it was all completely
detached from the work I had begun over the summer, which I was finding inspiring.
Therefore, after talking to my tutor I discovered that books and the visit I had
already made to the Manchester museum would work as my archive inspiration.
From the visit to the Manchester museum I found the insects most inspiring. So
from this I decided to start creating some drawings testing out different
medias and colours etc. Until I had a break though in one of my drawing styles.
I found that linear drawings, whilst simple, appealed to me more and I created a
large collection of drawings of different plants and insects.
From these drawings, I stared to combine some, merging the
plants with the insets, to create something new and interesting. I took my favourite
ones and had them developed onto screen to use in the print room. The whole idea of
combining plants and bugs reminded me of an artist I had found, Kari Herer, the
work of this photographer inspired me and I guess I subconsciously got the idea
from there.
