Submission Week Approaches...
Submission week. My jaw is really feeling it this week! Basically we figured out only last week what we actually had to do for this sculpture thing. Its meant to be more a representation of our design principle as a space... so basically it can be translated into an interior. Sounds easy.. but its so not!
So I decided my design principle is 'exposure' of the 'performance of WA identity'. I have left the idea about the dinner table, but its good research for my thesis anyway. So i'm looking at exposing this order and disorder. These are some pics of what im going to make, and here's an excerpt of whats going beside it. (Apparently should speak for itself so no presentation needed. ahem)
So if there is a façade or veneer then what lies beneath? I have explored this notion of ‘order and disorder’, a dichotomy as one cannot exist without the other. My design principle and method is ‘exposure’ of this performance and amplify this so people are aware that we are living through this performance in attempt to cover an honest and truthful inner. It is similar to Freud’s ideas of concealing the unconscious in need to reveal inner desires and truths of character or form.
In my piece I have created the relationship between order and disorder. I have created my own veneer from layers of fabric, which build up different levels of translucency. This veneer then becomes exposed, through its decay, slowly revealing the inner truth. Inside the cylinder are images of scarring on the body which are exposed through the parts of decay. These images represent complete exposure and truth of the human form- imperfect and disfigured.

So im making this cylander thing which represents what ive written above. I'm still struggling at the moment to get it to do what I want to, making the gross images of scars actually recognisable is hard. I think im going to make it more perfect in parts, and disintergrated in others.
Aaargh!
