Nava’s work is extremely interesting because she combines destruction and rebirth by using different techniques to reassemble her work. I like the techniques and colours she uses in her work, because initially you think its just a painting or stains on her materials. But then you look closer and you see that its all done with a purpose. I will possibly use this technique as experimentation when creating my own work.
I started my research by looking at the work done by Peter Callesen. I find his work truly amazing, not only for the detail and time that goes into it but also how smart he makes it. I will try and interpret some of his skills in my work.

Our brief is to look at how paper works, how it tears, how it folds, how different weights make paper transparent, have ‘scrunchability’, or not or how the translucent and the see through affects your work. We are also looking at developing a focused portfolio of work that explores through text, illustrations, experimentation, maquette’s and samples that can relate to my own personal practice.
