My honours project is featured …..

As I use twitter to share my blog on a weekly basis, I have attracted the attention of many charities that are driving cancer awareness, in particular Clatterbridge Cancer centre NHS foundation.

Clatterbridge Cancer charity is part of the Clatterbridge Cancer clinic.

 The clinic headquarters are situated on the Wirral and they treat people with cancer who live within Merseyside and the surrounding areas.

There are also other clinics are different locations through out the North West, including the Linda McCartney clinic at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, and the  Delamere Clinic at Halton hospital.

Clatterbridge treat patients through different forms of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and my dad received his chemotherapy treatment at both the above clinics and his appointments were arranged through Clatterbridge.

 Clatterbridge Cancer charity has been following my progress on this project and on several occasions have retweeted posts from this blog.

I emailed Susan King, Communications Officer at Clatterbridge and after a few emails to confirm the processes and procedures and also the rationale behind my design, Susan very kindly featured my honours project on the 'news' section of Clatterbridge Cancer charity website.

The link for the story is below;-

I am so thrilled with this story and I was very emotional and proud upon seeing it. I know my dad  would have been so proud of it too, after all he is my inspiration and drive!

Let the printer ….see the ink!!

Finally the props for my window display are being made, with thanks to my trusty dell printer and a box or two of laser print acetate!

Final design of images - I was playing around with ways of how to attach the shapes together here.

Ribbon will also be used to tie certain parts together as ribbon is the sign for cancer awareness

Square and square and squares of acetete!!  

My trusty old dell printer!!

All i can say is this is going to be a long night!!

Based on Helen Bullocks use of colour and print, I feel that this is such a fantastic example of multiple textures. Crayon, vinyl and painted fabric were used within the design and by using local artists, Hunting and Narud to bringing together the best of British.

On reflection, the bright colours and very abstract shapes within these displays remind me very much of the works of Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), in particular the following works.
