Second Skin, this time in collaboration with Foundation Students
On Tuesday Nadja went to Wensum Lodge in Norwich to run a workshop and performance with the Foundation Art, Design and Media Students. We showed them how to create sculptures from our emergency blankets and then let them run with it. Some fascinating results came out of it.
My personal favourite was when one student grabbed some paper and made cone-shaped breasts to attach to the sculpture. It seems that this is a theme that comes up again and again in this work: How can I augment my breasts?
We also had some fantastic installations of the resulting pieces, one shoved in a basement among rubble, one split into legs and torso with space in between, and one in the toilets.
I think Second Skin can continue to expand in this way, evolving to become a work that collaborates with a large number of people.
Any takers out there?
