Presentation Class- Skin Holes



Skin holes gives the impression of male dominance, it can be in their build, their body structure, their appearance or their stature that can make them seem bigger, more powerful and dominating. This can make some females feel intimidated making them ignore their own wants and needs just to please those of a man. Skin holes gives the sense of lonliness and self consciousness within a woman. 

Presentation Class- Favourite Song
























One of my favourite songs is old-ish but i always enjoy listening to it, its a nice, calm acoustic song by Eagle Eye Cherry called "save tonight"
The Lyrics i have focused on are in the beginning of the song

"Go on and close the curtains
cause all we need is candlelight
you and me... and a bottle of wine
and hold you tonight

Well we know im going away 
and how i wish- i wish it werent so
so take this wine and drink with me
lets delay our misery"

The song is about lust and the desperation of losing them.

Presentation Class-Georges Perec- A Void



This piece showcases a brilliant representation of alternative writing where not one word has the letter 'E'. This made me think what would happen if we were to just erase a letter from the alphabet, how would it effect our language, our writing and the way in which we communicate? i therefore experimented :) 

Presentation Class- Symptom Recital by Dorothy Parker




From this poem i drew a huge feeling of self consciousness, self doubt and poor body image. It gives the impression that this person feels uncomfortable and dirty in their own skin. The main lines i have focused on through my images are "i hate my legs, i hate my hands" and "i'm disillusioned, empty breasted" body image is such a huge issue in todays society which is what i have aimed to capture. 

Presentation Class- The Indigenous Edge




The indigenous edge portrays the experience of aboriginals when european settlement occured. I have therefore in my images attempted to portray the comparison between the two cultures.  

Presentation Class-Fiction





My fiction statement is "war is pleasure" therefore i went to the war memorial to photograph different types of machinery involved with war which creates so much conflict and heartache across the world

Presentation class- Non Fiction






My Non Fiction story involves visiting a farm which has been in my uncles family for over 85 years. The photographs merely represent and capture the scenic location and peaceful atmosphere
