Tree Branch Welds - Evidence & Evaluation

The below images show the making of the branch as a test piece as well as to practise my welding skills. The pictures that are further down show how my welding progressed as i practised the welds. It is obvious that my welding skills are still very far away from being perfect and most certainly need my practise before the final design is created. Although the welding isn't the best im pleased with how the other all branch looks. Using a thinner and slightly more bendy poles meant that i could really make the branches gnarly and more twig like. Using the leaves i made previously i attached them on to the branch as a visual for how the end design could possibly look.

Aim to create more branches to get better at welding as still struggle to get the welds tidy. Possible solutions if welding doesn't improve: Cable Ties, string, tight wire- like weaving.

Plan to investigate other possible attachments methods

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.
