Experimenting with brushing water on paper.
Kind of a look into process with regard to drawing, so a translation of my sculptural thinking into my drawing practice.
More to follow soon :)
Thinking of experimenting with cutting in the ones that follow too.
Works for a recent exhibition “Eleven til Seven”
Works titled: Chairishable
Materials:
Second Hand Carpet
PVA
Been a long time since I posted!
So here’s what I’ve been working on so far this year.
More chairs I know, seems I’m the chair and carpet guy apparently.
Finished Work
Number 2
Materials: Pallet Timber
Process of experimentation for this project.
Came across the word “upcycling” today. Seems appropriate!
Work for Salon Exhibition
“Number 1”
The beginning of our final project this year.
Self Assigned Project.
In my case I have decided to look into the reconstitution of found materials and objects and their reclamation as art objects.
I’m interested in the history of making, and the narrative an object can put forth with its materials and presence, so we’ll see where that leads. Finished works due next week!!!
Solution to previous problem? Space! Plane! If the form traverses two spaces or planes (or the lot) then movement becomes a far stronger reading and highlights that organic element of the form over the industrial appearance of the unit. BOOM Take that Project 5 you’re not so tough.
After working through my concepts and all those physical iterations of it I backtracked to my workbook to get a hold on the concept more firmly. The missing link, it seems, between the organic association I once had with the object and the lack of recognition of that in the different trials was the presence of The Multiple. The multiple is key to the organic reading I feel, growth will become more apparent when there is a unit that can repeat. Growth leads to life force, imaginative animation of movement and a creature. So down came those towers and painstaking permanent separation of each spring brought me to laborious:
Put spring down
Step up onto table
Take photo
Step down
Put new spring down
-Repeat-
My own artistic step class of sorts.
The end object though isn’t doing justice to my motives… Solution on its way!
—Sculpture Sound
The sound that comes from jiggling the tower of springs. Most organic result so far.
