DANIEL CROOKS

This is Daniel Crooks, he is an Australian artist that distorts his images like this one, i think it is very interesting how he does it and also how it can have deep meaning in its use, i understand that Hazel has used a similar technique, which looks very cool.

FIONA PARDINGTON

Fiona Pardington is my main artist model, she tends to use alot of shadows in her work, but contrasts the darkness with the light to help make the ridges and curves more dominant and more defined, i want to do something like this, i want to start using darker shadows deeper images prodominantly in my second panel.

This is fiona Pardingtons work entitled: Kia Kaha.
it is her way of remembering the people that were affected by the christchurch.

THE FAMBAM KAZAM YYO

this is my mothers necklace, it is a strung up group of small plastic shells, it can be used to portray my lost Samoan heritage, my mother never knew her real father, and he was Samoan, so this has real meaning for me, with my board being alot about who i am, i think that it says a lot about not being brought up with the stereotypical Samoan/Maori lifestyle, which then shows how i am today. it is just another piece of me that makes me who i am.

this first image shows a new object. this is my grandfathers greenstone, when i told my mum about my folio

she instantly thought of this to be in it, and when she told me about it, it instantly became more special to me, 

my grandfather isnt allowed to wear it because it is broken, and i thought that the broken shards that came with it would also be a good add-on to the  meaning.

this second iimage is a close up on my grandfathers greenstone.
