I like your work- like a cross between Jon Blanche's early work and Jake and Dinos Chapman's Hell (which I'm sure you're familiar with)

Impressive work. Those skeletons are very spindly, but they work well for your purposes!

How do you feel the interview went?

How do you feel the interview went?

as well as an interview can go when you have a proffesor of art theory grilling you on every aspect on your work whilst sounding EXACTLY like jeff goldblum. honestly, i think it went OKAY, there was alot i could have said afterwards once i'd left the building and the nerves had passed, but i managed to hold my own against a pretty strong critique by three proffesors.(i think...) either way, im leaning more towards wimbledon than goldsmiths, and they accepted me during the interview so the worst i can do now is not get accepted and have my decision made for me.

thankyou those were actually the two main scources i looked at when planning these pieces.the chapman brothers less so, but their use of classic compassison on a diorama was helpful when composing these pieces.

Every interview ever has you thinking of everything you should have said afterwards its just a fact of life.

Best o fluck mate.

qft.
Also goldsmiths are notorious for making people cry in their interviews as a way of testing whether or not they can cut it not just there but in south london.so on that front i didpretty well

Make the fuckers cry back.

aye, they really are.i can't imagoine them survivng the journey to a game, but all together they have a nice effect.
(incidentally,if anyone wants to know how to pack a diorama to survive a coach trip, tube journey and walk around london, let me know and 'll share my secret... )

Application to goldsmiths failed sadly, but I'm not down and out about it since now I can accept wimbledon without worry.i would like to thank you all for the encouragement you gave me during this project, and to repeat my promise of better photographs soon.

[carlos13th]

Glad you still get to go to a university that you want rather than settling. Best of luck in the future mate.

Congratulations on Wimbledon! As someone who has just spent the last couple of months being rejected for PhD funding from various universities I know how distracting the whole academic interview process can be (fortunately just been offered a place at Kent myself)... I eagerly await your first exhibition at the Tate...

Oh, and I like the dioramas, too!

I shall call it "the miniature collector" and it will be a huge lead mountain in the center of the turbine hall that audiences have to paint themselves with 00 size brushes

thankyou

well after a few weeks delay i finally got some time in the photography studio to get some quality shots of these dioramas.
Sorry for this post being very pic heavy to anyone who hates pic heavy posts.

So here is the first diorama, the ID.











I apologize in advance for the double post, but it will help when separating the dioramas.
Next post, more pics.

[nic-e]

more pics! this is the second diorama, the SUPER EGO.
i hope you enjoy.













As always , i hope you enjoy the images, and please feel free to question or criticize my work, i am more than happy to talk about it to anyone interested.

I also have a few single skeletons that i am working on right now to create a series that is meant to help people confront the realities of mental illness, if anyone wants to see them i will gladly post the few pictures i have.
