- slightly more dark and surreal, crying, skulls, eyes, hands

Victoria and Albert

Today I went to see an exhibition of the V&A Illustration awards 2010 and was particularly struck by the winner of the student category, Hanshen Gu.  His images seem dark and twisted yet humorous and meticulously executed. The exhibition certainly made me think about my work so far. I need to start considering composition and narrative, putting my giantess into settings that begin to develop a story. I also want to deeply push my imagination to create surreal dark imagery. 

Also whilst at the V&A I took a look around all the other collections and became inspired by many random artifacts such as theatrical masks and 18th C fashion plates, particularly images exploring over sized wigs.
