It's nearing the end of term, I am due to present my work for assessment on Monday and as it's been a while since I've updated, here are some pictures of what I've been up to:
 |
| By simplifying my movement drawings to the essence of the act, I formed these into copper wire. |
 |
| Into the wire I used expanding foam which created some interesting organic like shapes. From these I made some plaster moulds which I then used for slip-casting in porcelain |
 |
| The foam objects were quite complex in shape and suffered from a lot of undercuts in the casting process |
 |
| this resulted in a lot of tears and breaks in the casts |
 |
| but as a collection they worked well together |
 |
| Once fired I experimented with how they might look with lighting inside them. |
Visualization was an essential part of this project as the work was intended for a large-scale installation. Here are images of the casts in 'situ':
 |
| a stumble-upon installation in an only rum distillery |
 |
| and a suggestion as large scale stage set for a dance/physical theatre performance. |
