The humour may be niche but this is possibly the best joke I've ever come up with and it’s not getting enough attention (please validate my humour)

I spent the holidays finishing and submitting work for my first MA Creative Practice module! My practice merges mindfulness with photography to reflect my neurodiverse experience & love for nature. My proposal surrounds building creative, resilient art communities.

What happens when you let your social media person go rogue?👀 You go viral! 🐏

I love that that this absolute unit has made it into the NSMM’s (soon to be reopened) gallery. Come and check out the newly renovated museum once we reopen in January. Not long now!

I turned some of my nature photography into a fold out zine… What do you think?

Experimenting with kaleidoscopic patterns from trees led to what feels like my dream metal band’s logo! 🤘🏻 Inspired by Christophe Szpajdel (aka ‘Lord of the Logos’), who draws on nature to design logos for bands such as Metallica, Emperor, Enthroned and more. #Art #Photography #HeavyMetal #LogoDesign
A vectorized black-and-white graphic derived from a segment of the kaleidoscopic pattern. The design is symmetrical and intricate, with angular and organic lines reminiscent of a heavy metal band logo, evoking nature-inspired gothic aesthetics. A kaleidoscopic pattern created by mirroring and repeating the original photograph of tree branches. The black-and-white design forms symmetrical, abstract shapes that resemble ornate, gothic motifs. A black-and-white photograph of tree branches and foliage, silhouetted against a pale sky. The branches form intricate, natural patterns with a stark contrast between the dark shapes and light background. Taken at Black Carr Woods in Bradford, November 2024.

This is my first post, so I thought I’d introduce myself with three photographs and an art piece I made in the last month for my MA Creative Practice course. I’ve heard good things about Bluesky so far, so hopefully this post will find some nature inspired artists I can connect with here too! ✨
Black and white photograph of a tree’s branches against a grey sky background. The overarching shapes within the image appear similar to the veins within the human body. Another black and white image of a trees branches. The depth of field creates a blurred effect with branches that are closer to the camera, while branches that are further away appear sharp and crisp. A black and white photograph of the remaining leaves on a tree in the winter. The camera lens’ tilt shift function creates a blurred, spinning effect towards the outer edges of the image while the centre of the image is focused. Digital art depicting the shapes of a tree’s branches in black and white, overlayed onto each other in a screen printed style.
