Project Two – Installation #1

Posted on Updated on

Hi everyone! This is the first 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. This is the first installation within this space; there was no particular thought process to designing this installation; the process was mainly to explore the space and experiment with the environment.

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.

The Spiders Web – Wrapping and Bindings

Posted on Updated on

This is a piece I made during my A Levels. It’s based from Tomás Saraceno’s work ’14 Billion’, where he recreated a spiders web after extensive research into how spider make their webs. I have taken my own perspective and created this massive piece which took over half the room, took multiple days to complete, and required 100’s of meters of string. I really enjoyed making this piece and I would love to make something similar.

The piece invites you in but also has an aspect of eeriness to it as it hangs over you and engulfs you. Upon the lines are pieces of paper with words of what friends from my class thought of spiders; the pieces of paper are so small that you have to get close to the web to read it, making it more uncomfortable for the viewer.

I also wrote a little poem to go with it:

An empty shell, an abandoned home. With no life, but memories it owns. A structure strong, that’s thick and thin. With words upon the lines, where people have been. A web cast to last generations, But people find it hard, to find these great pieces of innovation.
