ASSESSMENT II RESEARCH

Argentinean illustrator Juan Gatti used the physiology motif to create collages contrasting human design with imagery found in nature. This collection is titled Las Ciencias Naturales, which translates to The Natural Sciences. 

In his work, Gatti represents the human body as a space for dialogue between the anatomical study and the taxonomy of plants and animals.

ASSESSMENT 2

- capturing the human ecology - 

In this experiment, I tried to find a direct visual connection between the landscapes of the human body and the natural world - exploring both environmental landscapes and ecologies and natural artefacts

In continuing my experimentation and my project, I plan on capturing my own images of the environment and of the human anatomy so I have control over the images to thus make a clearer and more visual connection

ASSESSMENT II - EXPERIMENTATION

For assessment II, i am exploring the 1st topic:

Art and design often explore relationships between humans and non-humans, the environment and ecology. How can contemporary art and design propose new possibilities for imagining the ‘human’ and the environment?

Specifically for this experiment, I have attempted to explore the landscape of the human exterior - in particular the human skin.

In these up-close images, I have aimed at capturing the body to display its similarities to a natural landscape/ecology

Capture the diversity and _ nature of the human body by bringing focus to the different attributes of the ecology e.g veins, hair, wrinkles, pores, sweat, skin discolourations, moles and freckles etc.

ASSESSMENT 1 - FINAL WORK

In my work for Assessment one, I chose topic one to experiment with, exploring specifically the relationship between the natural environment and humanity.

The main concept I explored was the notion that humanity’s ability to survive is dependent on the stability of the natural environment. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the homes we live in and the clothing we wear are all sourced from our natural environment.

For my poster, I selected and printed out images of different anatomical illustrations of the human body. On each anatomical illustration, I drew an aspect of the natural environment growing from or being connected to the body part in some way. I then painted with water colour over the drawings to highlight and bring attention to the environmental aspect of the drawing.

The significance of using anatomical illustrations highlights how the functioning of our bodies and the dependence of our life is reliant on the maintenance of the natural environment.  Our health is reliant on the health of the natural environment. A concept I would possibly like to explore as a part of assessment two is how the decay of the earth also means the decay of humanity.

For my preliminary research for this assesment, I was inspired by contemporary Australian Artist Fiona Hall whose work often comments on globalisation and the relationship between ecology and economy. Specifically, her 1999 work ‘Paradisus Terrestris’ which consist of 15 sardine cans transformed into botanical sculptures stemming from human body parts.

EXPERIMENTATION - ADAD1002 ASSEMENT 1

1. Art and design often explore relationships between humans and non-humans, the environment and ecology. How can contemporary art and design propose new possibilities for imagining the ‘human’ and the environment?

I tried exploring this topic by experimenting with the idea 

I attempted to convey this by representing the relationship between human and the non-human as being constantly and inherently connected and intertwined with each other. I tried this through creating a map or maze-like drawing of this relationship between the human and non-human world represented through different signs and symbols

FINAL WORK - ASSESSMENT 3

ARTISTS STATEMENT:

For Assessment three of this course, I was instructed to experiment with the week 3 concept of Vagueness. From a series of different experiments and different mediums I tried to explore the concept of vagueness and specifically how vagueness combined with differing perspectives and interpretations can lead to creative and unique outcomes. My experiment using my bass guitar to capture feelings evoked in old family photographs lead me to further work with photographs as seen in my Final Work.

In my final work, I gathered a series of photographs from different Family Photo albums. I then selected parts of the photograph I wanted to omit from the audience so they could interpret it by covering those sections with lined paper. I then gave out the photographs for people to draw on, asking them to recreate what they believe the image is or what they believe is missing. The final work is of a photo album of the altered images. The outcome of the  images differ greatly with some people creating drawings quite similar to the original image, whilst others are more creative and abstract. This work serves to demonstrate how vagueness and lack of structure evokes different perspectives.

EXPERIMENTATION - ASSESMENT 3

In this experiment I continued working with old family photograph’s.

In the work, I used personal family photographs, covered up a section of the photo with paper and asked people to draw/doodle what they interpret to be as missing in the photo.

In this experiment, I attempted to create a vague space which others could interpret.

In this work, I was influenced by the concept of my Assessment 2 work in which  different people in our group tried to interpret and create structure to something with little and vague form

[buckupoff]

EXPERIMENTATION - ASSESMENT 3

For this experiment, I attempted to capture an emotional response to old photo’s through the creation of a bass tab/line.

I chose a photo of my childhood Dalmatian as a puppy. In an attempt to capture feelings of nostalgia and memories of my childhood and my dog, the resulting sound feels incredibly melancholic and wistful.

I explored the notion of vagueness by exploring how objects, or in this case photographs, create emotional response and when trying to capture or recreate that response through a medium such as a bass guitar, the final work seems incredibly vague.

EXPERIMENT - ASSESMENT 3 (Part 2)

[buckupoff]

EXPERIMENT - ASSESSMENT 3

In this experiment I was inspired by text prediction and how a vague prompt such as a single word can be used to form a whole paragraph - even if said paragraph doesn't make sense.

I was further interested in how technological programs such as predictive text attempts to transform the vague into the structured from using a personal and collective database of past sentences and word use.
