Week 4

In today’s tutorial we had a group pin up session, with both Mark and Julie. This was a good way to view all of my work so far and see how everyone’s projects were going. So far this week I have continued with ‘drawing’, in terms of pushing the scale of my work. Now that I have a solid body of drawing, I need to develop them into 3d pieces. I should think carefully about what materials and scale I want to translate these formations into. I was suggested to look at Charles Clary, who builds relief pieces. I could easily cut out cardboard/ paper pieces to recreate my compositions. In terms of context, I think i’d like to work towards interior. I’d like to develop my work into wall pieces/ panels intended for a cafe or restaurant. I’ve started to look at artists that do so below.

Artist Research | Charles Clary

Charles Clary creates paper sculpture and installation pieces inspired by fiction. He builds up layers of hand cut paper, which mimic land formations and sound waves. These pieces invite the viewer to peer in, creating an interaction between the viewer and the magical world. I am inspired by the simple use of layering and relief. This process could be applied to my drawings as they are quite bold shapes. I think they would translate well into 3 dimensional pieces that could be mounted onto a wall within an interior space.

Artist Research | Chris Wood

Chris Wood creates installations and wall panels out of glass segments, allowing him to explore complex patterns of light. The patterns tend to change depending on the position of the viewer and the angle of the light.  I really like the kaleidoscopic patterns and how the light transcends through the glass.The simple arrangements relates to my work, as there are a lot of sections and shapes in my drawings. This could lead to laser cutting into different transparencies of acrylic/ perspex.
