In response to Warhol’s Silver Factory Studio;
-Our aim during this workshop was to create a small diorama of a small scaled studio that would reflect an atmospheric word which was randomly selected by our tutor and given to us each separately.
My random word was Hopelessness. So my task was to recreate “A time where I most felt Hopeless’.
I found that this was a rather pessimistic topic to focus on so I don’t want to go to literal with creating a memory in a box and create instead an atmospheric interpretation of what it feels like when you go through a time where you feel hopeless of lost. I find that your mind becomes a mess as you are trying to clutch at straws to find a solution of an end to the problem, but there being no way out till someone gives you a guided hand. And so I have chosen to create a box installation which shows a half skull in an semi cartoonistic way that emphasises the streaks of lines of thoughts made of yarn dipped in glue (to give strength and reduce chances of buckling).
Also included is a glance at the emotional journals we were asked to create based on our own past experience and how we perceive different emotions such as happiness for me is the nostalgic feeling a person can get where a certain image of sound can trigger a past happy set of memories and then you realise the moment you are in is one of those moments you will be looking back on later on.
