Today I've been mapping out the plans for my plinths. I have decided to make triangular ones, as this will work well with my angular sculptures.
 Hopefully it will give my work an added sense of individuality, as the majority of works are displayed on rectangular plinths.

Degree show!!

Tateshot: Matt Collishaw

"Repulsion to contrast sexual allure" is an quote that I have picked out from this short interview. To an extent it makes me consider the way my own art work is viewed. The imagery that I create is very visceral and can be seen as innards, or a womans womb, however at the same time the imagery is very seductive and romantic.

I really like how Collishaw works; firstly by gathering a range of imagery and research to creat a mood board of some sorts. Then rather than sticking to the one meduim and idea, he varies it.

Printing for the degree show

Rough sketches showing current ideas for plinths. So far I have decided to have the three at different heights, this will force the viewer to look at the sculptures from various angles, also as my exhibition space is really bright, the varied heights of the plinths will mean that each sculpture will capture and react to the natural light differently.

Willem de Kooning - "Woman in a Garden"

Although y currrent practice does not focus on painting, when I came across "Woman in a Garden" by Willem de Kooning I felt there was a strong relationship between his work and my own. The resin sculptures that I have been creating and the imagery to follow, have a strong painterly feel. The soft seductive strokes and curves of colour are particularly similar to those found in the above painting.

Plinths

As I will be exhibting sculptures as well as prints I need to consider...
*what size of plinth
*shape
* heights (as there will be more than one, do I want them all on the same level)

Catalogue Statement

"Deep Sensual colours and soft painterly folds, plunge the viewer into a silken depth of femininity and desire"

 

I decided I wanted my catalogue statement to be quite short and to the point. Rather than writing to describe by work and thought it would be much more effective to have a short evocative peice. My work is very seductive and provocative so hopefully my statement will convey that.
