Tree Construction Ideas - Research, Intention & Evaluation





Evidence in sketch Book 



The aesthetic i envisage for the tree are that of vines. I want it to look very natural with flowing lines that curve round the trunk to then form the branches. Without bending the metal poles to see how they bend and move its going to be hard to work out how construction is going to take place; it is going to be a series of trail and error. I collected a series of images together to give inspiration into possible was i could construct. Personally i like the trees made from just metal rode rather than a built tree trunk. The third picture showing an abundance of metal poles moving in all different directions, is most like what i had envisaged for my own sculpture. Its creates a feeling of ciaos yet it also connotes the feeling of escape and breaking free. This linking back to the bombing of Hiroshima and how there was ciaos and instruction resulting in the yearning to want to break free from the destruction and escape to civilisation also linking back to the fact the ginkgo tree is a symbol of hope and resilience.

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Gingko Tree Research

Evidence in Sketch Book After collecting all of my research together i have been extremely drawn to the plants resilience, only enhanced further by its ability to with stand a nuclear blast. From this the plant becoming a symbol of eradicating nuclear warfare and actually being presented as a 'Prize' to cities who become nuclear free. A plant having such a strong history and is very symbolic in multiple ways is something i'm extremely interested in exploring further. While investigating the ginkgo tree and seeing how this may become present in my artwork will be an on going process but i know i must not neglect other investigations - not to put all my eggs in one basket.  Research - Websites https://e360.yale.edu/features/peter_crane_history_of_ginkgo_earths_oldest_tree https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29920359 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8941542/Akihiro-Takahashi.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/the-whis...
