Light as Medium: Idea Board 3 - Multi-color Light

Using a single light source that changes color every couple of seconds I’ll experiment with the resulting moods created for the environments I choose to use it in.

Light as Medium: Idea Board 2 - Lamps

Utilizing two seperate lamps with cones that direct the light into certain directions I will experiment with the resulting interesection of these light sources. Illuminating different rooms in non-traditional ways and discovering their resulting shadows.

Light as Medium: Idea Board 1 - Strobe

Using two seperate strobe lights (red and blue) I would experiment with the resulting shadows of various objects/parts of the body. The light changing from one side to another create an effect that suggests movement to a still object.

Abstract: Art of Design

Olafur Eliasson

Quote: “When you leave the exhibition there’s nobody in the room. There’s also no art. It’s not about a rainbow really, really, it’s about ‘do I trust my own eyes and my own capacity to engage in the world?”

Phantom Bodies: Non-dominant Hand - Part 2

Phantom Bodies: Non-dominant Hand

I decided to cast my hand in a pose holding a pencil. I opted to cast my left hand in particular as it is my non-dominant hand and isn’t as trained to draw or write as my right is. I was interested in drawing with my left hand and focus on this disconnect between my skill as an artist and hand acting as the tool to create art.

Phantom Bodies - Idea Board 3: Fingers

I would create molds of my individual fingers and tie them together with a string or twine. I could also attach the fingers to other objects, such as my own hand, fruits, or cups, as a sort of growth emerging from them.

Phantom Bodies - Idea Board 2: Drawing

I would create a mold of my hand in a pose that could hold a pencil. I would then attach a writing device or such to the hand and then use my own hand to grab the molded hand and use it to draw or write in a performance piece.

Phantom Bodies - Idea Board 1: Arm

I’ll create a sculpt of my hand and use chicken wire to create a forearm. I would possibly use it in a performance piece as an additional limb remiscent of the first appendage project. Taking inspiration from the work of Mona Hatoum.

Mold practice. Used a small amount and only ended up to the first knuckle of my pointer finger. I attempted a second mold with my niece’s finger but unfortunately I failed to mix the plaster correctly and properly let it reach the mold entirely.
