making cups and saucers

I have been making a large scale cup and saucer for a prop in a photo shoot for weeks now. It has been a lengthy process but I believe it has been worth going in most mornings at 10:00am. My only regret is not photographing the progress to document it as each stage was a work in itself.

Tim Walker

Possibly one of my greatest inspirations.. Mr Tim walker. If I had such a budget I would love to attempt to create work of his scale.
In his recent editorial for Vogue, he enlisted Tim Burton and actors such as Helen Bonham Carter musician Lightspeed Champion amongst others, to help bring to life, Roald Dahl's childrens stories. I can personally relate to this particular shoot as he aims to bring Dahls text to visionary life.






















Werewolves

Since creating the apple carvings i have been immersed in Angela Carters stories and the idea of the werewolf. Thus I have began to explore the idea of drawing a human metamorphosing into a wolf. I just need to find the right balance to help merge the two smoothly.
