After having written my context assignment I feel refreshed and ready to move forward to my next experiment which I will show for the midpoint.
I am focussing on simulacra in advertising, communication and how it very much a means of manipulating the reality we see and breathe.
Im thinking along the lines of making a literal statement with my illustrations. However I am not sure what mix of mediums to go for. I am increasingly attracted to documenting the idea in a public space as it seems to make more sense.
I have been so busy in process and assignments in the last term I think it is time to reflect on where I am so far.
in the words of Tony Hung ‘My life is a series of lists from which i am constantly trying to cross things off.’ is just about how I feel right now; and it is simply annoying and frustrating not exactly knowing where I am in this list! and for me the first term of third year has been a myriad of mistakes! Continuing with the idea of netsuke and how this ties in with the notion of a simulated reality; I wanted to create this huge glass vessel containing netsuke; like a miniature created reality.
Alas! this seems not to have worked so well, the whole concept of thought just dissolves in processes and somwehere I just lose myself. that place was not so good, so I continue on and now find myself engaged in the work of Gustav Metsger and carrying on with my illustrations just seems the right place for me to be at the moment.
I find seminars have revealed how I can take illustration to the next level and simply how there are endless possibilities of representing what I am trying to say.
I hope to find myself updating my blog more regularly and now I have begun I will probably find it easier.
Plus please visit my new website it is the result of more hard work…but well worth it!
