About me.

My name is Charlotte Wright. I am 19 years old. I currently study BTEC Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at York College, specialising into Fine Art (the best one). After this, I intend to study BA (Hons) Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University.

By the way, that's me.

My work over the last 8 months has changed beyond any recognition, and to be quite honest, I really like that. I finished A Level Fine Art thinking my 'be all and end all' was painting. I joined the Foundation and I guess without sounding stupidly cliched, my eyes were properly opened into this world of freedom within art. The initial projects we were given really changed how I looked at the works I make, and even that of the pieces I consume as an audience.

From experimenting with latex and to more 3D works, into photography and projection, and even the potential of video/ filmmaking. The last few months in particular, I have worked closely with photography, and the use of text within works. My motivation however, has stayed the same. I find that personal responses drive my art so much more than if I had no interest or knowledge towards something. I purposely use and create work that is close to me; I previously spent a 2 week Graphics project designing badges around a recent relationship break up, and afterwards the effect it had was incredible. I had worked so hard because of the intense emotional connection, and at the same time, I was releasing feelings I didn't think I could. The understanding of an emotional connection to the motivation and quality of my work is something I intend to pursue indefinitely.
