Ivy Vine Idea - Intention & Documentation

Collecting natural materials around this time of year has proved to be more challenging than anticipated. It only becomes apparent that the woodlands are extremely bare when walking with a purpose for looking for inspirational materials. The materials that provide me with the most curiosity are often the plants that are green, in a sense looking 'living'. At this time of year the only green is from evergreen plants, thus resulting in the large collection of ivy i have collected.

I am continuing to press my plant material yet with the ivy the thickness of the stalks would make it extremely hard for me to press ivy at home. Instead of relying on an industrial pressing machine i thought about coming up with a new way of preserving the cuttings as documentation. Examining the vines drew me towards the larger leaves thinking back to the ginkgo leaves i made last unit. With this in mind i thought why not cast the whole vine in bronze instead of just the leaves themselves. I plan to take this into the 3D workshop to hopefully get a better insight into whether it is possible and what the process is. If it is possible the idea of using ivy would be a good species to cast as it is an evergreen making it available all year round and it is in abundant all around the city not just in the woodlands making it simple for me to source as much materials as i need.

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.
