Here is a piece of work I produced as part of my artist development section for my AS coursework. I chose to look at Rachel Goodyear's work as i was captured by her use of detail and the concept of death. The colours were also captivating and accompanied the concept perfectly. I then began experimenting with my own images to see what interesting combinations i could find. I decided that i wanted my work to represent the struggles that hold us back in life, and therefore the idea of body's and skulls being tied up within the roots represented the idea of struggle.

Here are a few of the pieces I created, a combination of pencil drawings and fine liner.
