inI really loved doing the digital print project last year, so I have decided to combine some of the images I took at Cardiff Castle and St Fagins and print them onto the dress I want to create for the domestic culture project. I took a range of images that show the domestic side of life during world war 2.
The whole project consists of using recycled materials, so I have emailed a lot of companies asking if they wouldn’t mind donating their discontinued fabrics to us, I have had a great response from a lady called Jayne who runs her own interior design company in Cardiff. I will be collecting the fabrics some time this week.

inMy first brief is about “domestic life in wales” I have decided to concentrate on the second world war, as I think domestic life in Wales is exactly the same as general western domestic life. I am going to concentrate on the rationing, beauty and the blackouts of this period and convey what welsh women went through during the 1940’s.
I went to St Fagins and photographed a range of different items that where available during the war. Paying particular attention to the tobacco. I have just got “Lightroom” on my p.c so I have been playing about with different techniques, this is what I came out with…..
I really love the way these images have turned out. I wanted to create an antique look to these photo’s so I used some of the tool that “Lightroom” provided and this is what the outcome was 🙂

Well this is my second week back at uni (UWIC). The summer was rather long and boring however I managed to create a few pieces of art, paying particular attention to conspiracy theories. This is now my second year and I am really excited to be getting back into a routine and getting some great work done.
Our first project was given in the form of two briefs, one form the uni and one from a live project about civil engineering. The thing about UWIC is that the tutors don’t seem to be organized, one person will tell you one thing and the next something completely different. This is getting so frustrating but what can you do??
Anyway……. the project I am doing is ” Domestic Culture In World War Two Wales”. I decided to go with WW2 as I have many thoughts I want to convey in this project. I want to create a conceptual piece that shows my feelings on the war and the government itself.
I had a drawing lesson today, where we arranged a few random objects onto the table and drew what we saw, I really liked playing around with coloured inks. I will continue drawing objects that correspond with domestic culture but making sure I link them with the war.
