Moore Art and Photography
Sarah Moore // Visual Artist My work showcases the emotional explosion that has consumed my life during the last two years which has been a shared experience between millions across the globe. The process and materials are an important factor in my work, appropriating ’low’ brow materials and techniques, such as food colouring, pillowcases, bed sheets and dish cloths and recontextualising them into ‘high’ brow by placing them within the gallery space. Andy Warhol’s quote “You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you” is reflective of my current body of work.

Here is my final pieces all together in the exhibition. I’ve loved every moment of creating and hanging these works.

After a very long day, I have finally finished my final piece!! I am absolutely happy with it. It came out much better than I thought it would probably due to the numerous hiccups that I encountered throughout the way but I’m in love with it!! I never thought that I would love a piece of work due to me being so self critical but I think this is my favourite work that I have done so far!

Whilst using a new spray paint, the paint foamed a little at the nozzle and projected some onto my side project. Initially, I felt frustrated but looking at it now, I quite like the effect that it has!

Day two of sewing. One patchwork has been sewn together yesterday. Today I’m hoping to see the rest of these together and potentially sew on the backing.

Today I have decided to start my sewing. However, I am running into lots of problems, mainly: it’s very awkward to sew the overlapping squares and my sewing machine keeps locking up as it is only a cheap home sewing machine. Hopefully, it will become easier as I continue onwards.

Sizing

I have decided that the patchwork quilts will be 6ft by 2ft approximately. This is because I would like the quilts to reflect the dimensions of my body because this work is so personal.

Stress
22/04/2022
I am feeling very stressed at the moment as I feel that I am not structuring my essay correctly. I have asked other students how their essays are going but most of them haven't even started it yet so I'm unable to compare and contrast with them. I also think I am stressed because I am on top of all my work at the moment which is something I am not used to. I am used to leaving things last minute and not being able to reflect on my work before submission.

Following on from this, I developed these paper plates onto circular boards as you can see below.
To develop this even further, I have repurposed googly eyes by spray painting them and sticking them onto these circular boards so that they look like nodules, making these look more like bacteria.
So far, I have only been able to complete one board as I didn’t anticipate using as many as I have. I would like to complete the other two boards and display them as one piece. Below, you can see what I mocked up for these boards.
I’m not sure if I like the spray paint pattern that I have created on these boards. I think I will go over them more freely, as I feel that they don’t share the same characteristics that I liked with the paper plates.
Whilst creating my other works, I used paper plates to use as stencils. However, upon finishing my work and clearing up, I really liked how these turned out. Due to the bedsheets and the dishcloths being so absorbent, the spray paint often just soaks into the fabric whereas the spray paint lays atop of these plates. I’m thinking that perhaps I could take these further but maybe not the plates but rather something more durable such as MDf.

Dean Hughes
Born: 1974 Manchester
Education: 1993-96 Chelsea College of Art and Design
Inspired by: Banality of items
Media: Mixed
Period: Modern art, conceptual art
Subject: ‘Specialised with the ordinary and unassuming’
Relation to my work: Hughes takes the ordinary and makes it the extraordinary. Hughes’ work starts with objects that have a use and then decontextualises these objects to create artwork. I also am taking items that already exist outside of the artworld and giving them a new purpose as works of art.

Michael Phelan
Born: 1968 Beaumont, Texas
Education: Unknown
Inspired by: Colour field artists such as Morris Louis, Helen Frankenthaler and Kenneth Noland.
Media: Linen and dye (unspecified). Phelan also uses a computerised Pantone technology to select his colour combinations.
Period: Modern art
Subject: how space and context have a direct correlation to the way we understand and perceive art
Relation to my work: Phelan’s works are huge wall sized and is often linked to Jackson Pollock – something I am interested in; does the size of an artwork affect the effect that a painting has? Also, Phelan uses a tie dye technique to create his art which is something I have also adopted in my work, showing that paintings doesn’t have to be figurative and made with a paintbrush. Phelan has projected that his process is less important than colour choice – something that I disagree with within my work as the process is quite important to me.

Nan Qi
Born: July 1960 Yongkang, Zheijang, China
Education: 1986 – Graduated from the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Art in Beijing where Qi specialised in traditional Chinese landscape ink paintings.
Inspired by: Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties whilst at school as well as dot matrices used in printing. Additionally, Qi is inspired by the Ben Day dots of Roy Lichtenstein and Mi Fu.
Media: Chinese ink and rice paper
Period: ‘Post Pop’
Subject: A reflection of the political and socio-economic climate in China.
Relation to my work: I really like how Qi uses ink particularly his work with the dots rather than the artworks as a whole. His dots look like covid molecules under an electric microscope – a double dot is like the covid molecules with two cell walls. I also find these paintings to be really calming, reminding me of rain puddles.
Furthermore, Qi uses a very limited palette of grey, red and blue which is something that I am trying to achieve myself.

Thinking of how I will exhibit my works and how I will be constructing these quilts. These designs are not representative of the designs of the fabrics. These mark makings are only so that I can differentiate the difference between the squares and make them more clear for myself to see. I am thinking of using two types of patchwork quilting. One ‘random’ and one more symmetrical.

I’m thinking of creating 3 separate patchwork quilts and will be hanging these three from rails like this.

Over the weekend I visited the Tate Modern in London and was able to see artists that have used fabric in their works. This gave me inspiration of how I could possibly exhibit my own work.

These pieces are the underneath of side of the bedsheets and dishcloths which ironically I think look more ‘diseased’ that the side that I worked on.
