Bishops Art Prize - Research & Intention

I have been putting off recapping my notes for the Bishops Art Prize as i have been trying to focus on my degree piece. I wanted to understand and feel confident with what i was producing for the degree show before focusing on another project. In the past i have found that looking at other projects before full understanding the project i am currently working on results in me often leaving things unfinished or that the outcome isn't fully explored.

Recapping my notes was helped refresh my mind and help possible avenues for investigation to generate. The tings i have taken from my notes with the most prominence to me will be what i used to inform my sculpture. Mind map in research file (supporting documentation) -

desert - bleak wilderness, dry, sand, no sign of life
God gave water a purpose, yet it can break free and cause devastation - tsunami, floods
water is a necessity, yet it is a gift that is being possessed causing war as well as wealth - people profiting from it (morally wrong)
parting of the dead sea - deliverance of slavery, oppression and death
Moses striking rock to revile water
holy water - baptism, all religious praise water

Ideas prominent in sketch book -

freezing of water in a stone like matter - slowly melt
resin used as water
tap flowing out sand - could this be made so it works
frozen money
tap presented on rock
sand - creating a bleak exile
stone sculpture of something living - dehydration

All ideas are developing and will likely evolve and change.

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.
