New Pillow

 
 
Completed a new pillow. It needs a good wash, I will do that later. I needed to finish it for progress reviews.
I've decided to dub these 'Anxiety Pill-ow's'.
They depict dreams, which show your thoughts and anxieties through hidden motifs.
The front is an old pillow case and the back is a tea towel.


A more calming scene on the back of the pillow.

Femme Maison

I always go back to Louise Bourgeois when I am working. I love her Femme Maison Series. Which consist of drawings, print, and sculpture.
Her work is about space and memory.

Damien O'Connell

Damine O'Connell is from Kerry, Ireland. He lives and works in London. He is a graduate from the Limrick School of Art and Design.

'Damien O'Connell lexplore's the concept of the island as a closed space. Much like a waiting room or prison cell, the island is concieved as a dual space of infinite limitation and potential. The island is a place we long to escape or seek refuge.
 He presents the viewer with a tableau of curious situations: a series of miniature constructs with intertwining elements of absurd narrative. O’Connell’s island is inhabited by philosophical loners and exiles. Ludic disruptions become an accepted totality within the work but provide a bewildering conundrum to the viewer.' -Occupy Space
