Week 3:
Monday 7th October 2013.
Inspired
by Robert Rauschenberg’s Cardboard series I have been sampling with cardboard;
the material is cheap, strong and malleable.
Moving, arranging, I document my three-dimensional samples through
photography. Taking photographs of my samples is imperative, as these can then
be collaged and stitched into; it also enables me to combine two and three
dimensions. Working on a bigger scale is challenging, physically and mentally.
It is a new idea that takes detailed sampling and material knowledge.
Up scaling work is the priorty I have
explored the beauty of the materials and products I have collected. I have been playing and creating sculptures
from the wooden pallets, old flooring, tiles and MDF. To develop a strong concept and awareness of
other people’s ideas I have been reading many different books surrounded by the
idea of space and place to help me refine and develop my new samples.
‘...a
great many of our memories are housed, and if the house is a bit elaborate, if
it has a cellar a garret, nooks and corridors, our memories have refuges that
are all the more clearly delineated. All our lives we come back to them in our
day dreams’ (Bachelard, 1994:8)
The poetics of space, by Gaston Bachelard, has been a real inspiration to my project and samples, his ideas surrounding the domestic space and place along with new materials to work with have inspired the installation works.
