Boyle Family


The Boyle Family is a collection of artists, who are in fact a real family. "Earth Studies" is a body of work where the artists randomly pin pointed a coordinate on a map, travelled to that destination and recreated a rectanlge of the land.

I am particularly interested in The Boyle Family as the themes explored in their work parallel some of my own. They have turned something that is quite mundane into something of interest, that would probably be overlooked by passers by.

Photoshop Repeat Patterns














I have been using photoshop to create some repeat patterns from my photographs. I like how this technique of repeating a section of a photograph has been revealing some geometric shapes in the repeat patterns.

This process has got me thinking of how I can take my work further, as I feel like I am working in circles and not exactly taking this project anywhere further than making Suffolk Puffs and keeping the "Make Up Diary"

Looking at my work I see:

Rich texture, soft lines, muted colour palettes. 

These are a couple of recurring themes that I have focused on in past work. 

 I feel that in order to progress in this project I need to seek some inspiration from other sources that also possess these same themes.
