Restriction of the mouth and cheeks is an unusual think to hinder. This accessory is beautiful and elegant through the use of pearls and a warm gold, however, I alludes to notions of being seen but not heard.

I like the way that this piece will limit the movement of the body. It forces its user to keep their chin up and maintain a level of pride. The use of a neutral off-white casting-material unites the piece with the user and mimics the whiteness of an animal's bone.

biomorphic

"biomorphic forms or images are ones that while abstract nevertheless refer to, or evoke, living forms such as plants and the human body

Biomorphic comes from combining the Greek words ‘bios’, meaning life, and ‘morphe’, meaning form."

extract from TATE, Available at: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/b/biomorphic

I want to apply the concept of biomorphism to my work to explore the natural forms of the body. I'm thinking that I can attempt to mimic the form of the body in my extension project by moulding something to the neck and partially to the face. The outcome might hinder the movement of the neck but could make the user reflect and appreciate the natural movement of the neck.

Langrish Smith, K. (2014) 'artefact III' [solid cast jesomonite]. Available at: https://www.katelangrishsmith.com/jrgd2wnbuisp2h0vtvo78q5htqnsca

Smith uses mould-making and casting techniques with ceramic and synthetic compounds to explore notions of worth, desire and object. Smith places importance on themes of gravity, balance, assemblage and composition through her instinctive approach to the visual language of her sculptures

I like the use of the negative spaces of the body, it makes me wonder what movement would be like if these negative spaces were occupied.

I like the contrast between the smooth texture of the tube and the more complex knitted head cover because it highlights the natural curve of the neck.

The different layers of synthetic materials create a complex texture yet they are all very simple and are made from simple, basic shapes.

Our Next Step

based on Sarah Sze and Guy Debord's ideology

“Each image and object has been cycled through many processes: a photograph of a sculpture turns into a painting which is then photographed, ripped up, sketched on top of, re- photographed, painted on again, and pinned to the wall”

Sze, S. (2018) Available at: https://elephant.art/sarah-sze-paints-picture/

I like this quote because it shows the evolution of artwork over time and how we are constantly generating new ideas. Sze's quote alludes to the beliefs of Guy Debord's "The Society of the Spectacle" (1967) which outlines that our beliefs and inspirations are formed from the imagery that we consume around us and not only the images that are created by others, but also visuals that we create ourselves. Therefore, Sze and Debord convey a recurring theme of how the production and absorption of visual outcomes forms our future decisions.

I like the use of the crystals because it creates an elegant and powerful atmosphere. It also creates a proliferating texture which contrasts against the smoothness and uniformity of the PVC lingerie.

Van Herpen, I. 'Syntopia', 2018

Iris Van Herpen uses basic shapes like ovals, circles and triangles to inspire other more complex organic shapes. The use of traditional shapes in her prolific technique emphasises the duality of nature and scientific innovation. 

Conceptual context:

Precision vs. Chaos, duality, evolution and transformation of shape, beauty and seduction inspired by nature, bringing couture and innovation together, most personal expressions, inspiration from science

Kim, C. 'Living Geometry'

Kim's 'Living Geometry' collection has inspired previous work of mine like 'We're all a Version of United Dichotomies'(2019) because of the translation of everyday shapes found in my surroundings which inspired the fan covering the face which was used to contrast other simplicities seen in the smoothness of the grey felt top.

YOUR POSSESSIONS WORKSHOP

YOUR POSSESSIONS WORKSHOP Pilger, Z. (2015) Alice Anderson's 'Memory Movement Memory Objects': Everyday objects wrapped in copper wire, The Independent

In 'Memory Movement Memory Objects', Anderson wraps everyday objects in coper thread to mummify and preserve them. By using coper, Anderson mimics the colour of her natural long hair which personalises the objects she chooses to wrap, giving them personal meaning by literally covering them with a piece symbolic of herself. The objects she covers are no longer visible to public viewers which make them personal to her and add an aspect of secrecy and preciousness untouchable to the outside world. 

This technique could be a method of erasure which places emphasis on the hidden objects and control Anderson has over the hidden objects by regaining control of them and making them untouchable to all other people

Even though I didn't cover objects in my Your Possessions Workshop (see digital outcomes, 'Value'), I did erase them in a way as the mark-making samples that I took from my observational drawings of my table's personal objects were symbolised by an organic mark which made the original objects unrecognisable to the public. 

Lima's ‘Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information’ is a collection of over 300 examples of information design, representing networks of Twitter followers, depicting relationships between Al Queda members and also the interactions between different proteins in human cells. The use of lines form and represent connections between data. I used a similar technique in the group project of the Your Possessions workshop where we displayed objects in a particular way according to different categories. The drawings in my sketchbook (see sketchbook) of objects organised by monetary value, sentimental value, height and shape are a similar representation of displaying certain data through mark-making. 

'Painting Takes Just a Second to Go In'

Vija Celmins

Celmins' work is inspired by original scientific images which are often published by scientists and astronomers. She bases her work off of these images to understand what it would be like if she were actually in their role. By reworking the original works, Celmins is able to resonate with the original artist to "relive that image and put it in a human context". Celmins is able to "go somewhere" by understanding the intricacies of the original location or illustration. Her methods are relevant in today's society as it could be a a method of conflict resolution amongst demographic groups and may be used as a method of raising awareness for overlooked issues by realising their original state.
