Hey Hudi

Just a quick post here, to show this recent piece. Whilst further exploring the topic of 'Rehash Remix & Edit', I decided to paint one of Raphael's famous cherubim. Their cheeky expressions are so iconic, and so is the painting style, both of which I attempted to replicate here. I then went on to 'remix' the piece by introducing the cherub to Vegas. My favourite part of the edit was sticking fairy lights behind the canvas, which flash constantly, giving a quite sickening glow to the whole piece.It is almost disconcerting the way the cherub stares so knowingly at the infamous Vegas sign. This is one of the reasons why I love the contrast between the innocence of angelic cherub, and the poker chips of 'fabulous Heaven Nevada'.

100 years ago, WW1 was declared. Today marks the armistice that ended that war. Since then, a poppy has been worn to mark the fallen. On this centennial, my friend Dina and I decided to create individual poppies for all 1000 pupils in our school. We aimed to get everyone to write a message on them, and we also distributed names of 1000 soldiers who had fought nearby to our school. Almost unbelievably -there were moments where we wondered if we'd get 10 done, let alone 1000!- we managed to display them all on a huge window over the dining hall. We are so proud of what we have achieved, as we have spread the message to everyone in our school, and got them to really think about this incredibly important day.
