26th March 2008 I have been toying with the concept developed and used by Patrick hughes called Reverspective. This concept is painted on a 3-dimensional shape, but looks flat, and produces an illusion when viewed from the front. The foreground is painted on the background and background painted on the foreground. Here is a painting that I have designed using the reverspective concept. Image 1. I have designed a painting using reverspective that creates an illusion. I have used my dream scenario images to create this painting. I have brought in the snake and houses from the dream ‘The Valley Slithers’ as well as the spider from the dream ‘Parade’. From the front the painting looks flat, however it looks as though the houses are coming towards the viewer.

Image 2. In this side view of the same painting you can see that the surface is not actually flat and that it is painted on a raised surface. What used to be the background is now the foreground. This is done by playing around with perspective. It rattles ones brain, but the effect is quite breathtaking. This painting has been developed with the influence of Patrick Hughes, who has some amazing paintings that create an even more shocking and breathtaking angle. This is the beginning of a final development towards my final show in May for my B.A. Art Practice course.

My thoughts 9th March 2008

Today and over the last week I have been very busy with my degree course at university. I have had to juggle art practice - for which I need to come up with some paintings to be photographed on the 13th of March, so that has been on my mind. Also I have had to contend with a contextual study that seems to take 3 paces forward and then 5 paces back. It is not as if I have not enough words in-fact I have about 3 times more than I need, at this point I could write 3 essays on my chosen subject.

Trying to work out the Mhra guide to referencing does not help either as one section contradicts another and it isnt as plainly written as I need. What happened to simplifying things for us beginers.

I have just spent all day going over each section of my essay, rewriting some parts and adding to others. I have only managed to get through 3 sections, as I have also been trying to sort out the footnotes and quotes.

I have also had to contend with a statement of intent this week, I think I am on my 5th draft. Every new draft I write seems to get longer and longer, I dont know when it will stop. I dont know how many words I need but lets just say ive got enough words for 2 statements of intent.

Due to the vast amount of work I have had to contend with my web design has hit a bit of a snag! I havent done as much as I had hoped, ah well my site is looking pretty smart, it just needs a bit of tweeking now and again.

Im really tired now I havent had a real break! day off for months! people dont realise how hard an art course is! there is no getting away from it ! it plays on your mind 24/7, even if you try to switch off it is just not possible.

I have a week left to get my essay sorted, well I say a week, more like 4 days! no sleep no tv or no rest till friday evening. Nothing new there then
