Research

-

 These are some artists i found while doing research for the extended pieces of writing. These are some artist i found to look into for the Castle project because they work with a similar way i plan too or cause i found inspiration from them. There us a large range of different elements that i found will be useful as i don't fully know what i what i want to do.

Jim Hodges - Changing things 


https://www.anothermag.com/fashion-beauty/gallery/376/jim-hodges-a-diary-of-flowers/1

I like the flow this work has, it remines me of the beetle swam by Anna Collate Hunt. I also like how he used different materials such as wire and tissue to create this work. I like this work as an example of insulation and how i can display things.

Jim Hodges - Ghosts

This is another one of his works that i like (this is the one that was in the book). I like this one due to it delicacy, the plant being made from glass. This remines me of a real flower called a skeleton flower, as well as skeleton leaves (when a leaf decays and only leave the vine area, giving a skeleton/ghost like effect). I like how this is displayed, being in a glass jar. This could be one way i display my 3D work.

Maria Roosen - Washed tree flour

I  wanted to look at her work, specifically these pieces, as they are magical looking mushrooms. As one of the ways i wanted to go for this, was to make the natural world more magical looking, this seems like a good artist who has also done this. Another things i like about this work is that it looks like metal, while it is made from glass/mirror. I also like how she used a real tree along with her mushrooms, making it look more like a real thing growing then something made up. 

Hans peter Feldmann - One pound strawberries

I wanted to look at is work as i like the idea of doing mutiple of the same thing, but them all being different. I also like the way he displayed this work, doing some of them in a grid and some more randomly. I wanted to keep him in mind for is i was to do a collection of small illustrations, having some idea on how i could display them.

Jan de Vliegher - Floral plates

I wanted to look as this collection as one of the routes i wanted to go down was creating ceramic plates, as well as some of the works i was looking at from the Castle where of plates with natural elements. I like his work as he has not created plates but have instead created paintings of plates that then have the floral design on. I like this way of working, not having to deal with issues with kilns and other ceramic related things.

Joana Vasconcelos - Giallina

I wanted to look at her work as it used a mix of lace and the natural world, like what i want to work with for this project. I like how she instead using lace as a cover on top of taxidermy, creating a interacted, delicate skin to the animals. This lace skin, kinda makes it harder for you to see what animal it is, working as a form of camaflas. She has done this for other animals such as frogs and crabs.

Yang Jiechang - Underground flowers

I wanted to look at her work as I enjoy the use of bones and floral patterns. This reminds me of when i used to draw a lot of skulls as well as my interest in the natural world and patterns. Along with this i also like the way she has displayed her work, being like it is in a natural history museum. Something that i would like to look at for my project.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...

Looking at two early works of Modernism (600-700 word) - 856 words total In this essay, I will examine two early Modernist movements, Fauvism and Cubism. Although both of these movements involve abstraction, they each emphasize different elements within their paintings. Fauvism focuses on colour while Cubism has a focus on form. Modernism is a global movement within the art community that emerged around the 20th century. Modernism is defined by artists who broke away from patron demands, forming the Avant-Garde. Modernism artists creates art based on their own vision, challenging social expectations and exploring new ideas and techniques that was once unachievable. The Industrial Revolution played crucial a role in this shift, as cheaper materials, like synthetic dyes, made it easier for artists to produce their work independently of patron support. Though this, artists began to push the boundaries on what is 'good' and 'bad' art, as well as rejecting old traditions. Fa...
