Alessandro has been working on this piece titled Parcel. Here is what he had to say about it:
“I made a cast of myself and covered it in brown paper normally used to wrap parcels.The sculpture suggests that maybe there is someone inside the casing. The pose is relaxed, as if the person is waiting for something, someone or simply his next destination. I took a few pictures of the piece in different locations, bus stops and tube stations where this concept of waiting is emphasised. -Alessandro”
Hopefully we will be able to upload a few shot’s of the sculputure in these various locations that Alessandro talks of, so keep comig back to stay updated with the Middelsex BA Fine Art blog!
With the privatization of the royal mail now in force, what will happen to our beloved monarchy of stamps? Will we still have the Queen’s head on the face of these stamps? Why can’t we present everyday people of society in this same light?
Since we all use the royal mail’s services everyday, we all play a part in it.
illusion is when your mind is hallucinating and think that something is there but it is not. sometimes when you walk you feel that everything around you is spinning and immediately the reaction you have is: “the room is moving”. What is real is that your mind is spinning because you have a false perception.
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance”. Aristotle
Sometimes being lost is your best solution in order to find yourself out. Mind is very difficult to handle especially when is out of control. It requires a lot amount of concentration to stay focused for even 30 minutes. Confusion is dominant inside the mind. As an example a forest is like a maze you can wander for hours trying to “escape” but when you have a map somehow you can manage to find your way out. This is how most of people’s mind work. We can be mentally lost and “wander” for hours without going anywhere, but when we start calming down, we can slowly see progress to our path.
