CAVA 301
Visual Research assignment
For Cava 301, On contemplation and change for Cava 310’s artwork proposal, I take you to an artwork I completed in 2019,see image.
This work responded to how I was feeling in my current surroundings, the work is comprised of a handmade paper doll inside a shoebox.
I plan to extend on this theme and make assemblages, I will create six to eight assemblages that relate to my new every day and trending sayings or thoughts.
Two things will link the boxes together; one is that they will all have a body inside, and two, they will all be framed with a found or current household object.
Each sculpture will be made out of current objects that are surrounding me at the moment, for example, garbage, plastics, recycling, postage boxes, toilet rolls, craft, broken crockery, found objects like tennis balls, balloons, broken tiles, electrical tape, botanical such as flowers and seeds.
The works would be divided into themes such as
- craft
- toilet paper rolls
- material
- found objects colour
- recycling plastic
- recycling coffee pods
- recycling
- found botanical
- found objects metal
- magazines/children’s books
I am in the process of gathering materials and objects that may work and relate to my overarching theme. The thread of the bodies is because the works are all from my point of view, and I will try to emanant (like my 2019’s work), the feeling of not fitting in.
Each work will be made with a single subjected material, but they will relay to COV19.
For example:
Botanical-“you can go for a walk”
Toilet Rolls- “shortage”
Plastic balloons and balls-“flatten the curve”
Material- “huge shift”
Craft- “get creative”
Postage- “stay at home”
Recycling- “rations”
Collage- “stay 1-5mtrs apart”
Plastic rubbish – “suffocating”
The sizes of my work will vary to match the materials that I am exposed to, eg Shoe boxes, postage boxes and recycling.
My artist influences, art a still a work in progress, however, assemblage work from Robert Rauschenberg, Deborah Kelly and Rosalie Gascoigne have very influential works that I like for several reasons such as their use of colour, compositions, and use of mixed mediums.
