Gillian Ayres through her work being less noticed is also seen as tragic with the fire that happened in 2004 to the Momart warehouse in east London that turned some of her work along with a vast amount of British art that spanned through the past half-point of the century including the likes of over 50 prominant works by the abstract painter Patrick Heron.

Week 1
27/09/2021 to 3/10/2021
Throughout this website I have chosen to use a series of video and photos for my process and work documentation to show the material I’ve used and my thinking behind the work.
First Initial sketch
This first sketch is of endangered animals that i’ve planned to engrave in glass later on through the documentation of my work.
The reason why I have chosen to use endangered animals is to bring out the core roots of the theme of my work being the Industrial revolution showing endangered animals and skull and cross bones signifying the toxicity of coal around earth as a benchmark signifying that in the days of the industrial revolution society largely relied on factories burning coal for energy usage.
Second Initial sketch
Through this stage of my body of work I have added on to the first ketch through using red crayons and charcoal to create more of a contrast to each section of the drawling.
Third Initial sketch
Fourth Initial sketch
Fifth Initial sketch
Sixth Initial sketch
Seventh Initial sketch
Eighth final initial sketch in this first part of my process journey
This is the first 8 part sketch i have done showing the starting point for the ongoing creative series of works showing my refined ideas and theme within my specific practice and premeditative thought process.
This video edit shows my process for my ideas behind my projection art that involves glass engraving using acrylic sheets along with a torch for a prototype to test my ideas before using the projector.

Through this intial video edit i have used the INSHOT app to show the way my work functions earlier on during my process of making, to show not only the progression aspect throughout my body of work but also to be able to use this methodical form of viewing my work through photos and videos, as a form of recording my processes for the FNA-2590 developing practice and theory.

Peter Fischli and David Weiss the way things go 1986 Der Lauf Der dingo film still, 1986 https://publicdelivery.org/fischli-weiss-the-way-things-go/ The way things go film still 1986 The work of Peter Fischil & David Weiss is a 30 minute to 16mm film still that shows the none stop chain reaction of common day to day objects as they clatter whilst passing on a conveyer belt through a ware house studio space in Zurich. Linsey seers and Dean Kennings work with robotics, 4th of may 2018-29th of July 2018. https://lindsayseers.info/2018/10/23/every-thought-there-ever-was-2018/ The work of Linsey Seers every thought there ever was is a moving image artwork that explores human consciousness through the Schizophrenic mind and artificial intelligence. The way Lindsey seers uses sound in her work with the lighting used in the space that shows her work provides feelings of unease and mystery both aspects i see through my artwork through its use of light and sound.
