Welding Techniques - Research, Evidence & Evaluation

Having an engineering background i learnt welding while at college, even then i wasn't to great at it. Knowing that to build a metal tree, welding would be hard to avoid, also wanting to challenge myself meant i must practise before the real thing. Things started off pretty slow yet but managed to get the hang of doing just a simple weld without having to join two pieces of metal together. It did make me think while doing this a possible 'painting' with out using paint but actually welding the design on to a flat piece of metal *IDEA*. When it came to actually welding pieces together i still need a lot more practise. I like doing delicate pieces as well as messy large scale things that are less delicate yet with welding its a delicate process that is messy in a way. Having big gloves making it hard to hold the gun and then not being able to see quite what your doing to then having it happen so fast is something i'm most definitely struggling with. Should it be a process with no gloves, i can see and slightly slower (much like soldering) i would be much happier. More practise the better!

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...

Professional Photography (Outcomes) - Documentation & Evaluation

The bellow images are the outcome from the professional shoot i did with a photographer. These images have now allowed me to have material for my Instagram, website, promotional material such as business cards or postcards and images for my documentation book. We also photographed my ginkgo leaves that i produced last unit this was a request from the student who i was collaborating with that designed my documentation book - they required ginkgo leaves with a plain white background. I'm most pleased with the images of my submission for the bishops art prize the contrasting monochrome works so well together which wasn't something i had trailed until the day of the shoot.
