I’ve decided on a paintbrush as my found object as I’d like to explore the possibility of making the ‘tool’ the artwork rather than just a painting utensil. I began deconstructing a paintbrush in the most literal sense I could think of by sawing it into small pieces and reassembling it in different patterns.
Hi everybody!
My name’s Louisa and I’m a second year jewellery and silversmithing student at ECA. I’m from a little town outside Stirling, not too far from Edinburgh so I’m very much local. I’ve always been surrounded by creativity, my parents are both keen art collectors and my mum is also a silversmith. Because of my course, I tend to think in 3D, but I enjoy a good sketch as well! I love photography and I use it as a strong basis for a lot of my work, I find it fascinating the things you can find out from a photograph. I love music and I’m listening to everything from Miles Davis and The Rolling Stones to R.E.M. and The Smiths everyday. I find it very difficult to work in silence so music plays a big part in my design process so any recommendations are always welcome! Although I’m at the art school, this course is very new to me so I’m looking forward to broadening my material use and finding new ways to work.
