About
Hi i am Maxine, a German art student based in Scotland studying at Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee. I have a background in contemporary art practice's and photography which led me to study art at university. My style is bold and geometric, with a strong sense of duality. I enjoyed clean and accurate work however do experiment with more abstract pieces. I am greatly inspired by my surroundings and the landscapes i observe around me. I have always been drawn to modern architecture and structures such as cranes and oil rigs. I find the combination between our natural and man made environments beautiful and is often a key source of inspiration within my work.
For my fourth year at university i focused on the use of epoxy resin and laser cut mdf to create bold lighting sculptures. This was the fist time i used resin so it took some experimentation however, alongside the laser cut pieces i found these two techniques and materials work really well together. I had been looking shadows and projections within my project and found using resin was a great way to project colours with the sunlight shining through. I made a selection of resin samples and as a final piece made a resin brooch.
