A slight change in Path

The last 2 weeks in college have been the most productive for me. Its not that I have deviated from my original subject matter and concept completely but It took me a few weeks to realize that essentially I am basing my project on my Dad, his farm, his tractor and mainly his workshop. I suppose its a form of documentation but still capturing all my memories and an essence of the past. I was flaffing around trying to use different headings and terms to describe the project until I finally accepted that it was what it is now.
I have a few mini projects on the go- all connecting together under my main theme and subject matter. I am still working with his woodturning tools, having made the plaster cast

I am now creating 6 Resin casts.
I am currently in the process of editing a short film I made of Daddy in his workshop, I interviewed him in there and he gave me on lesson on how to use the lade. This will play a big part in my project as it is a record of what the workshop means to Dad and shows a father passing on his skill/knowledge to his daughter.
Inspired by the works of Jim Dine and his 'Tools' I am experimenting with Mono Screenprints using the turning tools as my primary image. Monoscreen Print is a really quick and effective procedure using water based paints, textile dyes to create a very painterly style screen print.

These are some of my resulting images

I am focusing very much on the object and on place in my imagery- I am creating a collection of black and white photographs using both my Canon 450D and my Diana Mini Lomography camera. The work of Amelia Stein and her memory photos influence my photography.
