Explanation
The
way I plan to go present this project differs from the way I’ve done in the
past, and this is good I don’t want to do the same thing every time. Usually
the format I present my written work is in is a lavish sketchbook which normally
has almost no actual sketches. For the module before this one attempted a more
interesting book style by placing a book in a dollhouse, before that I went for
big always being better and created a huge presentation sketchbook which was only
six giants pages. This time I have decided to present my written work as a blog
for reasons I’ve explained but that leads me with the problem of how to present
this work visually. For this project they’ll be numerous pieces, print outs,
sketches, photos, maquettes and images, also they’ll be the pieces I create as
build up to the final piece. Normally I fill my desk and much of Yeovil college
with various pieces of loose work that fall into the above categories but this
time I have decided to make a large trunk which I can then store the entirety
of my project in. I have several metal
trunks lying around (I’m just that sort of person) so I picked out one which
was large enough and sturdy enough to be the physical base of my project. Now a
vintage trunk is quite a cool retro thing anyway but I decided to turn it into
a piece of art, I scoured my workshop and house for a variety of images, I
chose pictures of art works, quotes, cut outs from design books, art books and pieces
interesting for their pattern and then encrusted the outside of the trunk with
them. With this piece I took inspiration from Rauschenberg and Hocks collages
and used found images and objects like Oldenburg to create a piece which could
be called a piece of art in itself. Apart from being an exploration in media
the work also functions as a ‘sketchbook’
or storage place for this project, a presentations platform and as a sort of
mood board. The images and papers I chose were to be used as a visual mind map and mood board offering a variety of
images to draw inspiration from and be inspired by, many of the images featured
are from artists I can study for my project. It is put simply a place to store
all the pieces for this project, but it is many other deeper things as well.
Picture to come soon....
