​

roman classical, ancient references with modern accents. hand made texture, reference to told potters or something? 

​

inspired by max ernst elephant painting (refernce specifically old school surrealism - do research),  

​

human form dancing, curves of the body - references the movement of the plant growing in it. 

​

taking classical design, and seeing where the boundaries can be moved. subverting - to question why a design is as it is. kind of making a joke of classical design and how everyone assumes it should be a certain way (that sounds wrong). better - take what we know about classical design and subvert it, find areas where ideas can be manipulated and evolve into a new form of 

​

using surrealism as a philosophy, not just an art movemtn, and subverting any idea of what a standard might be, and questioning it.

​

its not trying to be anything its not, no bullshit, the idea behind it isnt pretentious. this gives the piece a lighthearted elegance wihtout a pretentious backstory

​

humurous energy

​

life drawing - showing the curves of the body in movement
