Project "Arms" v2.0

Last Friday we had to present our ideas so I ended up making a Powerpoint presentation on the project. Unfortunately one the teachers did say it wasn't ambitious enough which left me in a fairly despondent state by the end of the day. So much of that weekend and this week has been on trying to get it to be better.

Some prototypes of how it was going to be:





I did end up thinking of doing a series of people engaged in some kind of physical movement with animal heads but that is too similar to Laura Skerl , who makes very beautiful paintings but on campus, she like everyones flavour of the month. So the people will come out differently.

The new goal is to make 4 pictures of strange headed people and two large mixed media works. I think the mixed media works might look like this. Not too sure yet, maybe something similar. I should really stop looking at his work but there is something appealing about the greyscale stuff he does.

Some plan drawings




On the last post I mentioned that I was making an installation in rope. It hasn't gone according to plan so the new stage is to thread it through some chicken wire and kind of progress the forms from there. That's not happening very well so we'll see what happens next.
