Wall To Wall Exhibition - Research & Intention

I am really wanting to challenge myself to explore new techniques, Wall to Wall exhibition is a task of working large scale creating a painting. My work usually steers away from flat work as I enjoy physically creating 3D over flat paintings. Yet I feel drawn to this exhibition and really want to challenge the boundaries of painting. Keeping in with my current practise and my recent walks of flanuering, mushrooms and their textures have been a key interest. Creating these textures using paint is possible… yes. Is it something I see doing … no. However, I have collected some images together for inspiration.

My first initial thought was to look at hallucinogenic mushrooms and how I could possibly make images of mushrooms come across trippy without obviously being mushrooms. This led me to look more closely at microscopic views of mushrooms. Their vibrant, garish colours can be related to the vibrant use of colour when hallucination sets in. They keep their natural organic forms, yet their garish colours are hard to relate to their mushroom origin. Possibly use in paint or marbling technique – Child play of bubble paper EXPLORE THIS…

Wanting to challenge the idea of painting further and looking more in-depth about texture. Decided to investigate fabric in fashion and how this can be used to create texture. I extremely like how it can resemble a mushrooms natural form in a man-made material which is something I have repeatedly done in my previous work. Must source fabric and play around with different techniques.

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.
