More recent designs and Ideas….
A few new designs that I have currently been making for my piece – I am slowly starting to get the many ideas I have out of my head and onto paper (at the moment) so I can talk about them – and also talk through them instead of saying “I think it could look like this” when discussing.
With my designs I have started to take particular ideas from certain drawings and coming up with new ones by placing them together. For instance in the top picture of this post – the wooden effect has been playing a lot on my mind … whether I use it on the floor of the space or on the walls.
The second images on this post is of a version of an earlier design – this time adding coulour to make it a bit more vibrant and readable as I have noticed that my pencil sketches are losing aspects of their designs by simply being in either pencil or fine liner – especially when i start to use text to explain part of the designs – then they are definitely lost.
The ideas behind this design is that the viewer will be confronted by a door – maybe not red – and a plain wall – it is not until they enter the space that they will become part of the installation – performers in their own right to the piece – making the piece complete by them being there. Like in a zoo – when viewers to the animals are wandering around the zoo – they stop – stare and maybe wait a minute or two for an animal to appear – if no animal appears they wander onto the next enclosure – the enclosure is “un-complete” without the animal so the viewer loses interest.
