Business Card Inspiration - Evidence & Reflection

I had originally planned to have a normal business card, such as a paper card, however i felt that i should use the business card as a platform to present my art or even be the artwork itself. Before sourcing these images as reference i had initially thought to make connections between my making process, casting which had initially brought me to the idea of making concrete/plaster business cards. Although not practical to carry around in a wallet however it certainly is something that i wouldn't personally want to through away therefore being a lasting piece of art. Working out the costs of producing concrete business cards would be on the more expensive side compared to commercial business cards and i would have to make one business card at a time due to be likely only having one cast to make from. As a result of this i had to rule out the option of casting my own business cards as a result of funds and time, yet this would have been the preferred method of making.

Instead of reflecting on the process of making why not make plant related business cards? Researching into the possibilities of what plant related business cards are already out there lead me to think about how i could benefit the environment with my cards. One thing that is a well known fact is that we are loosing our pollinating insects, especially bees. After doing some research i found that native meadows are perfect habitats for these kind of insects. Why not create seed packet business cards? By creating personalised seed packets it means that the receiver of the business card will be keeping hold of the packet till the following year when the seeds can be sown. This will hopefully result in the receiver seeing my details/name more than just once and keeping it for a lot longer period, while all still benefiting the environment.

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
