Project Three – Assessment Installation
So after a period of time of having no real idea of what my project is, or what I should be doing, I finally dug myself out of the hole and got this piece up in the Shaun Space. After my mid-term assessment I was left feeling unsure about my project, about what I do for art; after the Christmas break I learnt that what I do is, I show the audience my exploration of the space through the use of materials. All this time I’ve said that I like to explore the space, move through it, create something from what the space tells me; yes, that is what I do, but the installation is a direct message to the audience of the journey I have made within the space.
The Ideas which come and go are a feature within the work, certain aspects of the piece are made from plans or ‘try-outs’ to see how I can explore the space. So after not really having much of an idea of what to do or where to go, I will be following my instincts, and let the space tell me what to do. I will be creating more work in a similar fashion, and by that I mean, something that is different every time, not a the same work I made 3 years ago.
Project Critique – Temporary Installation
This week I was asked to set up and display the work I have made in my project thus far. Every week three students are asked to display their work in the Shaun Project Space, and then the remainder of the class makes comments about the work and gives constructive information to help along the students project. As I have been asked this week, I decided to produce a temporary installation for my critique.
I will be posting a separate post to inform you of my current project and how I am progressing, but for the time being, here is what this installation entails. Withing the installation are 3D prints I have made by scanning fellow students, along with a few new boxes I have produced over the past month. Normally, my installations main focus/motif is the string which overruns the space; with this piece I decided to have a bit of change and use some new elements and methods to see how they played out. I believe that with the introduction of these new elements, I didn’t need a dense structure of string, so I’ve left the installation open so the viewer can see all of the features.
I have included a video which is linked to my art YouTube account. The video is a 6 minute time lapse of the set-up of this installation.
Below are images from the installation. Enjoy.
