These are photographs of one of my 2nd year sketchbooks. Most of my second year was spent looking at relationships, whether partners/mothers/daughters/grandparents etc. I worked in large scale drawings sometimes using projections, but I like the way these images look just taken from my sketchbook on a smaller scale. My current work on pregnancy must have stemmed from thinking about relationships and where they go, circumstances etc...
As part of my current work detailing pregnancy, childbirth and women's views on the topics, I began painting and drawing belly buttons on my studio wall. This is the result part of the way through. The idea behind it is to draw attention to everyone's previous attachment to their mothers, in this case physical, but I plan to look into the mental aspects of attachment to people, whether relatives or otherwise.
As I was supposed to be writing an essay, I kept putting it off, and this was one of my procrastinatings. A wooden box with my legs/feet on it. I quite like it actually, not much and not really anything to do with my pregnancy/childbirth themed art at the moment, but useful. It holds my pens/paintbrushes now. I'm going to add images to the other sides too.
I did the essay eventually. Still waiting on the grade.....
