New and Final results

A number of my pieces were de-constructed , re-used in a second exploratory piece and re-fired at a higher temperature over 1000 degrees.

The results are different with such a vibrant popping of the colours.

Even though I like the softness of the first result, its great to see the difference with just a higher firing and also how much harder the material becomes.

While I was investigating how I wanted to layer with spices to create a visually interesting sculptural piece, I returned to one of the first practices we learned in ceramics elective workshops of using paper to create the structure first before we moved to clay.

CLAY + Narrative of the senses

Ceramics Elective 2nd project.

For this second project we have been tasked to create a piece of clay which represents our experience of the 5 senses.

SMELL

TOUCH

SIGHT

SOUND

TASTE

I choose to go with the striking SIGHT of SPICES.

To collect my first primary research I went to the local Indian/Asian foodstore and took some images of spices and colourful vegetables.

I also bought some spices and brought them home to begin studying them for my next piece.

Fresh Coriander.

Its hard to stay on track with just one of the senses as the SMELL and TASTE senses are all stimulated through the sense of SIGHT.

Week 2 Sculpture Elective

Attempting my first draft at the “Chain reaction “ movement brief.

I will need to rework my ideas , this was not a task I completed in a day. I didn’t manage to get my ball to roll down the ramp successfully consistently.

This task was not something I felt anyway comfortable with, it was hard to keep it simple as many moving parts are required within a small scale and a short time to design.

Back to the drawing board with this one.

Continuing with the development of designing clothing in the fashion elective after taking inspiration from the ever moving element of water, we had to narrow down our designs to 6 pieces which we must continue to develop with color and texture.

This is a video of primary research from a local river.

I tried to capture the surf and undulations of the water into some of my designs.

We will be choosing one main design from the 6 pieces above. I will continue to redesign these perhaps and play with colour and materials.

ARTIST RESEARCH |

Robert Janson, creating plastic bag installation

As plastic bags slowly become a thing of the past and reusable totes take over, one group of students is putting the leftovers to good use. A team of artists from Lund University's School of Technology created beautiful plastic bag installations ranging from delicate to heavy that resemble giant pink jellyfish. Using light, heat and air, the group recycled the plastic bags into moving sculptures....
