Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

The works in this gallery are a sample of the past few years. Before that, I haven't kept photographic records. As may be obvious, I wear a few different hats! One of my first creative passions was the theatre & dance. I love costume & have learnt shoemaking (the only official course I've completed) I am otherwise self-taught, although I read a lot. I've designed sets, posters, logos & album covers. There's not many mediums I haven't explored- painting, sculpture (Mmmm clay, yum), furniture, building structures & landscape design (Permaculture principles) Although I can DO Art, my creative juices are more often engaged in designing practical solutions for our poorly (unconsciously) designed modern lifestyles.
I question everything I see, I want to know "what is it, how does it work, what is it made out of, how was it made, how else can it be used?' Naturally occurring designs I apply to functional objects, which makes them appear whimsical, but to me is logical.
That I take inspiration from nature is obvious. Perfect design is everywhere in the natural world. Efficiency, physics, the patterns of flow & direction of force create the forms on earth. We shouldn't need to re-invent the wheel, only be better students of the master Designer.
