My proposed work will feature a net (approx 2.5 x 2m) suspended in between walls, this net has a large hole through it and is made up of a few layers for depth. Beneath the net is a fragmented smashed mirror on the floor, which reflects the net above it. On the walls surrounding theContinue reading "Plan for end of year exhibition"
Taking away a materials functionality
Going against an object/materials nature, instead of taking advantage of the physicality and qualities of a material, its going against what its made to do. Taking its original intended purpose out of context and re-forming it into something innately useless. In this piece, I changed the objects qualities, from a fluid structure to a solidContinue reading "Taking away a materials functionality"
Hope is the things with feathers
'Feathers' 28/10/20 Suspended, waiting as if in anticipation. The simplified forms hang, each bent, welded and shaped into a resemblance. In the suspended stillness, it’s as if the feathers were caught in-motion and stopped in their tracks. Fixed in a steady position, they hover mid-air, balanced and supported in a self-imposed test of weight andContinue reading "Hope is the things with feathers"
The making process
First drafted up how I wanted to construct them. Started with some smaller steel ones to test out the process. Shaped the metal pieces then welded them together. Decided to make a bigger aluminum one, using a gas cutter and then the bandsaw. Finishing with bending it. First three finished! It was a process ofContinue reading "The making process"
Virtual Embodiment with Kinect
Seeing yourself move through another medium does something interesting, where you are using your body and are aware of your movements, but disembodied from them. By focusing on the digital screen, you embody the visuals on the screen instead. The technology then becomes somewhat of an extension of yourself. Using the Kinect in this wayContinue reading "Virtual Embodiment with Kinect"
Movement and motion trails
Again playing with the memory of movement and an experience. Its interesting that in watching the recordings it stimulates the memory I have of being in that moment, and I wonder if other people or other skaters would have a similar embodied experience in seeing someone else skate. https://youtu.be/SuLKwPTgY1Q https://youtu.be/ZQdP4zkLqVk
Skating as an embodied experience
Filming the movement of skating, trying to capture the experience and its fluidity. Filming in 1st and 3rd person perspective with a videogame aesthetic, plays with the this idea of placing an experience into the virtual world and what that does to its authenticity. https://youtu.be/GuFTxIP4L6k https://youtu.be/kxlmYlR_3BY
Colour field
Threads of everyday life, intrinsically tangled. The thread painting the page with colour. Order and disorder.

Spotting the unintentional art of everyday life
The art of destruction
'Disfigured utencils' 13/03/20 Manipulating the shape of objects in this way, interrupts their tradition function, as well as changing our relationship to them. It becomes something unexpected, no longer being functional to its original purpose. According to Heidegger's ideas when an object breaks, it becomes more noticeable and holds more significance. There is another element atContinue reading "The art of destruction"
