Unit 1- Developing ideas with Frank Gehry

-

 Inspired by Vincent Leroy's installation of 'Floating Line', I decided to digitally install my sculpture into a landscape. I chose the environment of water after observing the work of Frank Gehry. Of whom positions his sculptures (that similarly contain lots of organic movement) next to a body of water. I thought it was appropriate to replicate this as my sculpture contained similar 'folds' and movements as Gehry's.

How my screen looked when drawing the sketch below- using my picture of the sculpture and Frank Gehry's architectural scenery as reference.


A sketch for the plan I had with installing my sculpture next to water.

I read an interview with Frank Gehry after drawing my sketches and discovered that he draws inspiration from the folds found in Bernini's sculptures. Reading this has made me consider the similarities of the movement within mine and Bernini's work, and therefore how my own ideas could be developed by referencing traditional artists.

This is the digital installation I created using 'Pages'.



After observing the digital composition below, I realise that the sculpture would look more integrated and natural if it was made from a stronger material, such as steel or concrete, similar to the material Gehry uses.
This is the work I produced after this reflection.

Unit 1- print, Kitty Sabatier analysis

 I was inspired by the work of Kitty Sabatier and her technique of abstraction within mark-making. I decided to reproduce some of my favourite works of hers and learn from her creative process so as to take inspiration for my future projects. (My work is on the left and the inspiration for it is on the right)

Unit 1- Working with Clay to Explore Shape and Space

-
Image
With my quick workshop in clay, I wanted to explore the elements of shape and space. I chose to do some sketching following on from the shapes I created in my previous workshop and the artist research I had done.  I took inspiration from the 'squiggle' shape that keeps coming up in the research. I looked at the folds within Bernin's sculptures and wanted to experiment with making that on a more refined scale. My first attempt was unstructured and broke as the cat was in a plastic state. To solve this, I used a leather hard coat and cut out full circles of a larger width and layered these with slip. To develop this concept further, I would like to experiment with scale and how this can impact the appearance of shape and space.

Final outcome- FMP

-

 Details of final outcome: Outcome in-situ: Outcome in gallery setting: I feel fulfilled by the outcome I produced. It reflects the effort I put in over my FMP into research, learning new skills and also personal development. It is an artists' book called 'An Ode to the Moon' and is a testament to the enormous range of perspectives we have on the moon. For me, this project has been an enlightening journey on how the world can have so many different viewpoints on the same thing. It has been a personal journey for me and I feel this book is evidence of this. I can't wait to show this book to friends and family. I already have some orders in from people that would like one for themselves- which is ultimately the goal of my project (to share alternative perspectives through allowing ownership and personal connection to my work.)
