As I work in such a wide range of media and techniques, I’ve tried to categorise each piece according to its function or purpose:
-
Beauty – Things that are just meant to be. That which is purely for aesthetic pleasure, or where the form is as or even more significant than the function. Adornments and expressions, jewellery, sculpture, drawings, paintings.
-
Communication – Work which intends to convey a message, impart a skill or facilitate understanding. Essays, animations, diagrams, publications.
-
Drama – Created to convey emotion or fictional events, with their primary purpose being entertainment or diversion. Stories, comics, animations, films, props, costumes.
-
Function – Whether utilitarian or ornate, these creations have a mundane purpose. Widgets and workhorses, tools, useful things, fixes, upgrades, improvements.
