My second experiment was to disassemble the Prettys piece – ‘Star of the Show’ it had always been my intention to deconstruct the piece and this was a consideration in its construction.
I created a tensioned construction across the whole space – which I called ‘Nothing you can do will break me’ a play on the meaning of the original piece and how it metamorphosed into a new work…
The experience of working in a studio space, firstly in Cyprus and then over the summer in the BA studios freed me up from the paridgm of approach of a graphic designer.
I was really pleased with the work and achieved what I had intended in creating a large completed interaction with the space, both in the method of construction and overall impression of the piece.
I have started to look into studio space of my own to work in and think that it may open up my practice to new ways of working that I am currently limited by space as well as my own constrictions of what and how I work, the studio space frees me up to think bigger and allowing chance and cause and affect into play.
