So, I have decided to make a model caravan to get me started on this project and I have kicked it off by digging deep into my brain and trying to remember how to draw properly... 3 years at art school have done me no favors.
For my degree show I am working on a series of works inspired by the loss of tradition and cultural identity that Romany gypsies have suffered due to the chains of society. I am inspired by gypsy and travelling community's imagery, stories, ways of life, traditions and magic. The poetry of Oliver Goldsmith and the philosophical writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau have also greatly inspired and enriched my concept.
