Experimenting
new studio space
Experimentation
So I am 4 weeks into a new module at university which equals a new project to take on. Also a new studio space to go along with the new project
Throughout my practice there has been a sense of change, the desire and the notion to change the idea or a meaning of something. An object, a medium, the environment of a space. Reinventing or changing the purpose that an object has, allowing the item to then become totally removed from its original function that would have been productive, with the usage of fine art. Looking at how the material or the medium is manipulated changing the way that we view the object, medium or space.
I will still be using drawing in my work but as a way informing my process if making. Working out why and how things fit together, as well as drawing from primary sources to gain knowledge and inspiration, whether that is drawing everyday objects, architecture, natural and manmade patterns etc. I am also interested in the process of making, repeating a process over and over again, almost bringing the idea forward from the last module about making the work per-formative.

Art and Understanding
So i've been ready just a few chapters of this book, called Art and understanding. Ive almost hit a creative wall with my work, but hopefully I will soon snap out of it with the use of a couple of books. So I haven't read alot of it just a little so far and it been an insight to the visual world, how as a human being we view things. We don't just use our sight to have a connection with the objects that we are view and see on a daily basis, we uses all our sense to associate objects with the lables that we give them.
'Our Visual experience of an object is one line only, out other senses draw other lines to it, and at the heart of the intersecttion grows up our idea, what the object is to us.'
We have a slight understanding of what things are or what they are about but this does not all come down to the sense of sight, we use our memory of our other senses to associate an object with what it really actually is.
'...a violet may be conceived primarily as a smell which looks like that, rather than a flower which smells like this.'
