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.

Came across the word “upcycling” today. Seems appropriate!

First Idea for Salon Exhibition

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.

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:37:46 +1200

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!

The sound that comes from jiggling the tower of springs. Most organic result so far.

RETRIEVER

The Exhibiting Of

Retriever is a collaborative sound work made in response to the F&SS Distribution Centre (a work currently housed in The Physics Room gallery in Christchurch).

F&SS being an archive under expansion, Retriever came about as an extension of the themes and material we encountered within that archive. The documentation from Retriever will now funnel back into the archive and facilitate its further expansion. Our work then being at the research disposal of the next creative project maker.

Artists involved:

Natalie Kittow, Zoe Crook, Vanessa Preston, Victoria Carran, Erinn Keith and Sean Bosman

littlemisstory:

A collaborative show that I am part of which runs for the next few days at the DogPark gallery space in Christchurch city.

-The opening went well tonight, pretty good attendance and some constructive feedback. Our first show in a gallery! Pretty big deal. It’s been an amazing experience as such young artists and we have learnt a lot.

The six of us make a good team as artists and friends.

Yay for Us :)

Project 5

Antithesis

This project is exploring creating a work that destroys or opposes the previous work both physically and conceptually.

Luckily I’m used to destroying my work so I’m not too sad about changing it into something else… however now I have to create something that comes to an opposing conclusion to its origin.

Hmmmm

Since the origin was a project involving an evidenced process of deconstruction I’ve had some mindboggling sessions on my thinking chair.

Final Installation of Project 4

TITLE: “Shoes off Please”

Exhibition was a success.

Think I’m dealing with two different ideas here though, dislocation of the gallery and deconstruction of the object are ideas that may be more successful if i explore them individually…
