Material type: materialTypeLabelVisual materialSeries: BA - Fine Arts.Copyright date: ©2019Description: 1 art original (25 pieces) 8 x 8 x 2 cm.Content type: three-dimensional form Media type: unmediated Carrier type: objectSubject(s): PaintingDDC classification: CIT Art Collection Online resources: ARTWORK Summary: My work explores sickness within the body. The work in this series looks at how easily disease can be spread if it is not closely monitored and contained in a confined space. My process is influenced by artists such as Anna Dumitriu, Leonardo da Vinci and Elizabeth Jameson, whose works are strongly science based and looks at both bacteria within the body, disease and the anatomy of the human body. To communicate this concept, I use the process of fluid painting, which is where you mix pouring medium with acrylics to make them more fluid and then pour them onto a surface, and the process of screen printing. The use of colour is important in my work as I use colours such as pinks, red, and skin tones to represent the healthy cells within the body and colours such as greens, browns and yellows to show the illness/infection taking over the body - (Artist's statement)
