Pretty Papers

I discovered the little wonder of Hollie Chastain's paper collages.

To see more of her creations mosey on over to have a look at her website or at her blog.

Afterthought.

Creating pretty things.

Here are some of my creations.

Mostly made from buttons.

The last two sets of earrings were inspirations for part of 

the design in my previous piece, the DVD cover.

And, yes, I love buttons. A lot.

Dream. Doodle. Do

Our task was to create a self-promotional DVD cover. 

The profession could be based on our interests or hobbies. 

My inspirations consist of a few of my favourite things, from teacups and buttons, 

to sewing and creating pretty things. 

Pear Tree Hill

Some designs that we did in class with Photoshop. Playing with complementary, 

analogous and monochromatic colours.

My surname Purdon seems to have a few different meanings, 

one of them being "Dweller of the Pear Tree Hill."

This must have some fruity-truth, as our ancestor, 

Charles Purdon (1838-1926), was the first to plant pineapples in 1865 

in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. 

The Poetics of Space

The photographer, Gary Wallis, 

and his TRIPtych works were the theme for this particular exercise. 

Wallis overlapped his photographs in order to form one overall image, 

instead of the traditional triptych art, where the images form a set of three 

separate pictures that sit side-by-side.

I enjoyed constructing the above images to a similar style 

of Gary Wallis's TRIPtych artwork.

Colour and framing were two points that I tried to emphasise 

when working with my images in order to achieve 

a certain similar effect across the final pieces.

Wallis's TRIPtych images beam wonder, as they captivate the viewer 

and send their eyes on a journey to unravel the stories that have become one.
