Here I am starting to explore the psyche as a vessel shape. The idea is loosely about being tied up and launching out

This is obviously more polished than the previous post.
Created in my third year of life drawing, a bit of experience under my belt, and certainly a love for compositions. I even started doing the faces.

I thought I'd pop in some of my life drawings.
I did this one in my first year and was so excited by it.

A place to fit, 2004, embossed blind print on paper, 55 x 75 cm Sally Flynn, originally uploaded by flight industries.

I stumbled across the process of printing without ink (blind printing/embossing) during my honours year (2004). I enjoy this process so much that I have continued to use it for many bodies of work.

The works which I made during the honours study carry the theme of the fighting psyches, and the lone vessel which represents a whole self.

Created as part of the honours thesis 'Pilgrim'

hrough the blind prints I was thinking that the paper representing a moment in time, and the position of the cresent represented where I felt I was at the time. It's sort of like a visual diary using symbols.

This work "A place to fit" stands apart as it does not have the movement going on around the cresent (now shown as a vessel). The vessel has found where it belongs.

Like wallpaper, designer wave, originally uploaded by flight industries.

I think this is the most recent embossing I have made.

It was printed for the Scotch Oakburn biannual exhibition, Connections, shown at the SPACE gallery, Launceston, Tas, 2008

The images is of a wave inside a crescent. I exhibited it with two identical prints to achieve a wallpaper repetition.

I do have several editions of this work (rare)

Emboss on paper,
2007

Created for a solo show at Urban Grind, Brisbane

The imagery is of the wake behind a boat. I'm trying to make a poetic comment about the path we leave behind us
