Priley Riley, Ink drawings, July 2017

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been depicting what I see on my day-to-day journey around Winchester in a series of ink drawings. I’ve attached a few examples.

Priley Riley, Winchestival, June 2017

I went to Winchestival (a new festival in Winchester) yesterday, where the sculpture I made of King Alfred the Great was on stage in the disco area. I really enjoyed making the sculpture, seeing the sculpture at the festival, and the day out generally (the music, comedy, great atmosphere, etc). So thank you Winchestival!

Priley Riley, MA Exhibition, May 2017

I have artwork set up ready for an exhibition- details attached!

I'm also pleased to share that I got a distinction on a written assignment completed in March!

Priley Riley, Finished King Alfred sculpture, April 2017

I’ve finished my sculpture and internship- final photos are attached. I’m pleased with the outcome and, most importantly, so are Winchestival.

As requested by Winchestival, the sculpture was made to resemble the statue of King Alfred in Winchester.

On the day of the festival, the King Alfred sculpture will have a shield that I made, a cape, and headphones to give it a more personalised festival look.

I designed the shield to look like a vinyl (like the Winchestival logo) with a turquoise centre to match the colour of the headphones.

I really enjoyed the internship and look forward to visiting the festival on the 17^th of June.

Priley Riley, Sculpture update, 12th April 2017

I've been coating the sculpture in paint today, with an 'aged iron' affect spray paint. This sculpture internship continues again on the 20th (due to Easter) when I'll give the sculpture another coat of spray paint so it's slightly darker and more even. I'll then cover the paint in clear lacquer to seal it. The attached photos show the sculpture facing towards the setting sun.

Priley Riley, Sculpture update, 11th April 2017

The above photos show my progress with the King Alfred sculpture- he now has a sword, crown, face and belt.

Priley Riley, Internship sculpture, April 2017

I’m currently working as a Creative Intern, making a life size sculpture of King Alfred the Great. The finished work will be on display at Winchestival- a new family friendly festival in Winchester. So far I’ve constructed the armature, built the frame of the body around this using two layers of chicken wire, and covered this in a layer of Modroc (which is basically plaster coated bandages).
