Self Portrait
AFTER TAKING PART IN THE GROUP CRITIQUE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE MODULE I FELT THAT MY CONCEPT WASNT STRONG ENOUGH TO BASE A
FULL PROJECT ON.
A LOT OF PEOPLES CONCEPTS AND IDEAS HAD QUITE A
PERSONAL MEANING BEHIND THEM.
MY
INITIAL IDEA WAS QUITE SIMPLE IN COMPARISON AS I WAS ONLY LOOKING AT ONE ASPECT
OF MY LIFE WHICH WAS THE JOBS THAT I HAVE HAD AND PLACES OF WORK.
I THOUGHT AGAIN FOR A WHILE ABOUT HOW I COULD
EXPAND MY IDEA AND CONCEPT SO BEGAN TO LOOK THROUGH SOME OLD PHOTO ALBUMS WHICH
BROUGHT BACK LOTS OF MEMORIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD.
I HAVE DECIDED TO LOOK INTO THE HOLIDAYS THAT I
WENT ON WITH MY FAMILY AS THESE HOLD A
LOT OF MEMORIES.
I AM ALSO GONG TO LOOK AT THE OLD TOYS, BOOKS AND
CLOTHES THAT I LOVED WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. AND GATHER SOME RESEARCH, IMAGES AND
DRAWINGS OF THESE ITEMS AS I THINK THEY COULD CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS MY END
PRODUCT.
Sabrina Ward Harrison
I looked into Sabrina Ward Harrison when I was in College studying Design Crafts. As our current project is on 'Self Portrait' I thought it would be a good idea to go back and take another look through my old sketchbooks to get some inspiration for the project.
Sabrina Ward Harrison is a Canadian artist.
Her work is often set out like a journal which I really love the look it creates.
She collages together random photos and objects which represent memories and nostalgia.
I love how she uses handwriting and little doodles in her work.

I also find her work quite
childlike in a way.
