Project Three – Installation #1
With this installation I decided to take a more geometric look at things. I wanted to try and make this installation look like a drawing you would make while bored in a Maths class. Initially, it went well, but as I make more and more I noticed that I started to dislike it more and more. After its completion, I took the time to observe its shape and form, and give it time to digest in my mind. I still came to the decision that I don’t like this method of working. So when I go on to make the next installation, I will be going back to similar methods I have used in the past.
Below are the images of this installation. Enjoy.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park Visit
A couple of weeks ago, the university had organised a trip to go to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The purpose of the trip was to experience artwork firsthand, and to also gather inspiration. The sculpture park is full of works from various artists ranging from Sol Le Witt, to Antony Gormley, to Magdalena Abakanowicz. While there were sculptures placed all around the park, there was also various exhibits within the different buildings at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
One of the exhibits was the Bill Viola. The majority of the Bill Viola work was video and installation, which drew in the public eye and guided you through a pitch black exhibit. I thoroughly enjoyed the work of Bill Viola, and will be using their work as a form of inspiration for my future projects.
At the time of the visit, the Poppies Wave was installed at the park. This was an extraordinary site to see, as it’s a small part of a bigger picture. I really loved being able to see this as I missed the chance to see the full installation when it exhibited down in London.
And even with all the artwork around the park, I was still enticed by the seasonal change throughout the park. With the weather changing, and the sun shining, the park screamed Autumn. The colours in the wilderness made the experience a lot more enjoyable, and also may have distracted me from looking at some of the artwork. Below are images from the trip. Enjoy.
Project Two – Installation #2
Hi everyone! This is the second installation for this particular project. I have placed hooks within my space to create permanent fixtures to design installations; once made and documented, the installation is removed from the space and the fixtures are used for another installation/design. For this being the second installation within this space; there was a thought process used to design this installation; the same process of exploring the space was used, but I also worked from the wall space into the center space. This was to avoid having to climb around through the web as the web would always be worked on by the front.
This project (Project Two) was carried forward from Project One. The idea being about creating a space/environment of my own imagination/creation, this then lead to wanting to explore space and involve interactivity. Project Two is now lead by the desire to create an interactive installation which explores its environment and develops its own world/space, allowing the viewer to walk through and experience the space thus interacting with it.
These are some of my documentation of the installation.
As always, I hope you enjoy.
Edits
Here are some random photo’s that I edited a while ago when I got bored. I do get bored a lot, and when I do I tend to do Arty stuff so don’t judge if things don’t look finalised.
