P R O J E C T 1- i n s p r a t i o n

the following images are pictures I took last summer (2010). I became fascinated by the summer sky, particularly the colours of sunsets, the eeriness of silhouettes at dusk and the movement of birds in the sky.

These colours offer the perfect colour palette for an atmospheric and sophisticated collection.

The silhouettes of the rooftops and tree from my back garden offer an interesting an eerie skyline

I love the shapes of birds in flight. I wanted to represent this in my project.

The natural cloud formations and subtle colours of the sky helped form the basis of my project.
I decided to call my project "The Sky at Dusk" as I thought it provoked a sense of atmosphere and created a narrative to my work.

I absolutely adore the butterfly collections in Wollaton Hall, Notts. There are row upon row of beautifully delicate specimens of butterflies from around the world. Totally inspirational in terms of colour, pattern, and intricate detail. There is also an air of something rather sinister about these dead insects pinned into straight columns and encased in glass for all to see. The Latin labelled in an old typewritten font shows us how dated these sort of collections are, but to me that is what gives it such charm. I fell in love with the collections so much that I decided to dedicate my 3rd year final project into studying collections of butterflies and taxidermy.
