October 19th: Sense My Space

I have comlpeteted my miniature jellyfish from polystyrene,ribbon and thread. I may or may not add lighting to the enclosure they are inside. I will now be planning a larger mixed media 'sculpture' of another biolluminescent creature,the Anlger fish. I plan to make this from a steampunk view adding cogs,gears and other metal findings to create the body and teeth and also plan to put in a set of LED lights into its 'lure' and maybe where its heart would be.

Today I have been exploring underwater sealife, particulary, jellyfish and I have constructed a box in which to hang these 'jellyfish'  made from polystyrene,riddon and thread. I plan to make similiar jellyish of differet sizes to hang in the box.

Over the weekend I have collected different materials to make small sculptures testing different materials to make jellyfish or angler fish. Once I have figured out how to make a mould, I have bought 15 LED lights to place into a see through mould in order to capture the bioluminescence of these creatures. I also am looking for pliable materials like aluminium to again test and experiment using materials, and plan to use a mixture of soft ribbon and lace to compare to it. I am also trying to add to my Contextual Notebool researching artists that are relevant.
