As Friday week 4 is a public holiday, the activity for week 4 is asynchronous, meaning you can complete this at your own pace. Provide a 150 word update about your project (it can be in list or point form), and respond to 2 other students projects. You will receive short informal feedback from your group lecturer prior to submitting your proposal.
Project update:
So far, I have established that I will be making sculptures and incorporating them into assemblages.
These will correspond to the current climate, and they will also have a constant thread of body and space throughout all of them. I am thinking about a work I produced last year that related to confinement and not fitting in; it was a paper doll I baked and placed in a box too big for the work. I feel the same thing is at play in my current accommodation, and that quarantine logistical shed light on not feeling like I fit in anywhere.
So I intend to repeat the process of a body in a vessel, e.g. show box, shoe case, washing powder box, take away container with different materials that are relatable at the moment, e.g.:
-toilet paper/toilet rolls
-long-life milk/aluminium cans, rationed food
-flowers
-found objects, such as coloured litter
-postal packaging
-craft
-collage
My artist research will be focusing on quirky, colour, sculptural, mixed media and collage works that assemble a subject in 3D forms.
