Project Four Update
This week I have set up another temporary installation within my studio. I have recently been drawn to create minimal installations which require few materials, and don’t take up too much space, trying to condense the work. I aimed to make this one float above the floor and decided to try some new elements within it.
I will be experimenting with creating objects which look similar to space satellites / stations. My intentions is to start creating ‘new world’ like objects to go within my installations, space satellites will be used as reference.
As always, I’m experimenting with different formats and designs for my installations and will continue to do so for the next month or so. Then I will move on to focus my work to one of the designs. Next week I will go into a more in-depth description of where I stand with my practice at this current moment. Enjoy.
Back At University!
Hello everyone!
I am back working at the University Of Sunderland, an I’m in my second year (stage 2) of BA Hons Fine Art. So, here is the story so far, since I’ve already been back for a couple of weeks.
I have started a new project in which I’m not entirely clear on what I’m doing. I want to continue to explore the space using installation, but I want to do something different than what I produced in my last project. So Over the past couple of weeks, I have picked up from where I left off, building boxes and making designs for installation space. Trouble is, it’s not really getting me anywhere fast at the moment. I did on the other hand, have a tutorial with one of my tutors, which spawned the idea of exploring why I’m making the boxes that I make. Since I enjoy making the boxes, but have no real reason as to why I’m making them, my tutor suggested going deeper into that topic, into why I am making them.
So that’s what I’m up to so far; I’ve made some boxes, and have a couple of ideas for temporary installations. I will continue making boxes, and will contemplate and research similar papers about how we get so fascinated with making certain things. I will also be making some installations over the next couple weeks, as well as dipping my hand into 3D modelling and 3D printing.
But for the time being, here are some photo’s of my space, my work, and the area in which I’ve been producing these boxes.
Enjoy.
