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

Bishops Art Prize what i am proposing - reflection & critical evaluation

Having not know what i was going to produce for the bishops art prize for most of this unit i am extremely happy with the outcome i have produce. I wanted to carry on developing my practise by exploring different casting styles which is exactly what i have done. When i first brought the idea to the 3D workshop technicians they dismissed the possibilities of casting an organic form in concrete. Not wanting to fall at the first hurdle i began researching to see if anything like this has been done before with not much luck. After having further discussions with the technicians and drawing up possible options we came up with a process that seemed to be the most logical. At first i present the technicians with rather complicated plants to mould - this was a result of me not knowing the mould making process for silicone moulds and thus had to go back and get some organic material that was a lot easier suited to the casting process. Still not knowing for sure if the mould would work
