The Swing : sense my space

The Swing

 

 

As my starting point with 'To Sense MySpace', I will start by focusing on spaces that are sanctuaries.I am revisiting My Sanctuary: The Swing. My grandfather built this swing from scratch and placed it in our small back garden area. My chosen space includes not only the swing, but one of the greenhouses and the view of the fields. I might even plan to paint the background showing the fields. To me,the swing represents my childhood memories. My personal homemade swing helps me relax and de-stress. I watch the sun set in the distant fields and admire the moon and stars at night. I put my music on and spend hours in my own world no matter what the weather is. There is something about the sensation of flight that appeals to me.

Jan 9:Sense My Space

I decided to move back to Angler fish and I have looked at a range of fish, both online and in supermarkets, and i have tried to replicate the scales by using the aluminium of cans and their can tags and stitching them together with wire which resembles the shine and texture of the scales. On three canvas' I have added the 'teeth' and placed them into the canvas to represent the Angler fish's mouth coming out of the canvas and on one i added a light for the lure. I wanted to make my Angler fish more abstract rather than exactly how its supposed to look which is why I aranged the teeth randomly.



I also came across another Artist who uses fish in his work- J. Vincent Scarpace. I love how his fish are abstract, colourful and occasionally unrecognisable.

After having talked to my tutors, I am now focusing on my design drawings and i hope to turn these simple sketches into prints. I have made quite a few 'teeth' and now plan to place them into a canvas and record them. I wanted to make the angler fish more abstract and may add certain stand out features like the lure and fins. I also want to test using expandable foam to create a 3D piece and then carve into it.

6th November: sense my space

I have added LED lights to the small 'jellyfish' enclosure and have positioned them so that they will cast shadows when in a dark room. I want to make smaller jellyfish from different materials, like wire or resin. I am also now sketching ideas for a Angler fish sculpture using canvas wire and other pliable materials.
